I think you're normal. I know a lot of people who don't engage in substance use, and I think that your decision to avoid the risks associated with substance use is mature and cautious, especially considering your ethnic heritage (that's not a racist remark: Asians and Native Americans lack one of the two human enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase, that allows us to metabolize alcohol, and are therefore more susceptible to alcohol poisoning, etc.).
I also don't usually use substances, just because I like to have full control of my mental faculties, and I suggest that you tell people what I do: "Hey, it may be weird, but now you don't have to worry about a DD. I've got your back."
IIN to vow never to take harmful drugs, alcohol or cigarettes?
