It's possible to trace back handles to RL identities for a fair number of active Hubski commenters, myself included. I've done a fair selection of drugs but mostly don't find them that worthwhile, although generally somewhat fun. Hard not to feel the hard drugs/hallucinogens are a waste of time though. I consider weed harmless. I consider certain prescription drugs incredibly harmful. I've done too much of certain drugs and had issues living a successful life afterwards for a while. But you know, sometimes in college we adapt unhealthy coping systems. Sometimes I still have to work at that. Sometimes I still overindulge/use drugs to detach from reality into a space of general peace and calm. I don't think it's a good thing, but I'm by all indications extremely functional, so besides killing myself early by wearing out my heart or blood pressure or whatever, I don't consider it the most pressing or unhealthy thing in my life to correct right now. What is really that interesting about drugs to talk about? Yeah, I've done them, or no, I haven't. They were great or no they weren't. Then trade stories about hallucinations you saw, which frankly, mostly not interesting. Also, why brag about drug use. It's not a brag-worthy topic. I'm not going to think anyone is cool for overindulging in Molly or whatever over the weekend. I've taken a LOT of prescription ADHD medicine at once back in college, the fact that I was able to swallow a bunch of pills and not kill myself isn't that impressive or cool.
I think the interesting thing about drugs is not the event that takes place, but rather how drugs fit into our lives. I mean I find the fact that cats love catnip and that big horned sheep eat lichen almost just as interesting. Part of it is the fact that these chemicals offer something personal to everyone for good or for bad. But if I have to hear about the art student who did too much acid and thought he was a bird for the rest of his life one more time I'll pop a vein.
