., painkillers (like Vicodin), stimulants (like Ritalin or Adderall), sedatives or tranquilizers (like sleeping pills or Valium), or drugs like marijuana, cocaine or crack, club drugs (like ecstasy), hallucinogens (like LSD), heroin, inhalants or solvents (like glue), or methamphetamine (like speed)]?

My little knowledge of REI comes entirely from books, manuals, podcasts, and YouTube videos, so I will have lots of newbie questions as I take action.At the time of this post, I am a non-traditional college senior looking to build a long-term career that I find stimulating, lucrative, and relatively recession-proof.I come from an artistic family.
