Robert Downey, Jr., is, as we all know, the great Iron Man ! In that movie, he portrays his character in a futuristic Robot suit. He was born on April 4th, 1965 and now is, at the age of 47, is considered too old to be playing with robotic toys. Today, he is a well known actor to both adults and teens, respectively, for his range of acting in such movies as Less Than Zero (1980s) to his latest movie, Iron Man 2 (2010). Now, with his new movie, The Avengers, premiering in 2013, all looks well with his life. But he doesn’t stop there as he thrives to be a producer, screenwriter, and singer. Most people don’t look behind the surface of the person, but I look deeper, to find the truth . The first truth that comes to mind is his habit of using both Marijuana and Cocaine. It 's use can be injurious and in some cases, deadly. So, I wondered why its use became his habit , Then it hit me as I searched the truth.
Marijuana is one manipulating drug. It literally finds its way into your nervous system and brain, and sucks all your goals and dreams out and spits them on the floor and lights them on fire, though on the outside you feel great?!?! Now, is that worth the $50 bucks you spent getting it. You might as well have thrown the money in the trash. What do you think you really win ? I mean besides no career and friends, you really "win the jackpot" in the long run. What a treat to literally be messed up psychologically for the rest of your life. Besides, as for your school work, you won’t be able to concentrate on anything, that is if you actually show up for school. Marijuana is known as the “gateway drug”. I do agree but only to a certain extent. If you are going to do drugs to mess up your life, why not start with heroin , as it is all the same , it ruins your body. It’s one thing to possess, use, and sell marijuana, but to even consider legalizing it and selling it, you would practically be selling death . One of the main chemicals in marijuana
