Whenever someone says they “Experimented with drugs,” I entertain the possibility that they were in the control group.

My wife asked me whether my friends and I experimented with drugs and sex when we were in high school.
I said, “Yes. But I was part of the control group.”

My friends and I experimented a lot with sex and drugs when we were in high school.
Unfortunately I was part of the control group.
