If you could have only one drug.

[Sion_Barzahd]

the choice between alcohol and caffine is a hard one.

Think i'd probably go for caffine. Since, hey i like coffee.

 

[geK0]

Well I'd have to jump on the caffeine bandwagon seeing as medication and illegal drugs aren't allowed.

If Painkillers are some of the drugs I can't have, then one of those is my choice, probably IB Profin. Otherwise I would pick alcohol, so long as I can have caffeine free versions of mtn dew and monster that taste the same. If I can't, then it's caffeine

 

[Right Hook]

I could easily give up caffeine, it's up in the air between weed and alcohol, with alcohol already being legal, it almost seems like a waste to pick it. I'd probably go with alcohol still. That being said variety is the spice of life and removing every other drug would make the world very boring, even for you straight edge kids because without other people being weird and stupid, you'd have no one to laugh at and for some of you, to look down upon.

Caffeine. Can't live without it, and since pain medications would be available at need, that would be my choice.
Probably the same if I were ruling all of humanity, since my ideas for taking over the world involve singularity.

Caffeine is the hands down winner. All the other stuff is great (to varying degrees and some notable lows), but without caffeine you're giving up tea, coffee and any number of soft drinks, y'know, those things you have daily between weekend excursions on the big stuff?

 

[Fijiman]

I'd probably just stick with my current medication.

 

[WaReloaded]

I'll go with caffeine. I can live without an occasional glass of red wine or a cigarette, but things like coffee and Red Bull make my life that much more worth living.

A rather odd question, really. What with the medical issues being taken care of (I was gonna go with penicillin) and the resolution of other issues, such as the definition of a drug ("a substance that has a physiological effect on the human body") being broad enough to cover, well... everything, really, from food to water to breathable air (and if you don't think those have physiological effects, go without them for slightly less than the lethal time period and add them back for some startling results)... well, the answer seems to be determined almost entirely by the holes in the question.

Caffeine, for example, seems to be the most popular answer... but how many people have said that because they actually, to an extent, need it for medical purposes? If your boss wakes you up at three in the morning and says you have to start an eight hour guard shift right now (which happens, for those of us in the lower ranks of various militaries) is that cup of coffee you grab on your way a luxury, or is it a very important medicinal remedy for the medical condition of falling asleep on the job? I mean, sure, you could try to fight the encroaching sleep the old fashioned way, but you could also try to get over many severe infections on your own, with similar chances for success and similar levels of stupidity. Where do you draw that line?

Just strikes me as odd, I suppose. Seeing as I don't smoke, don't drink, and don't use any sort of illegal substance (let alone more than one, which would make this an actual choice) I suppose this question just isn't for me.

 

[asghoig]

Well since illegality is not an issues id have to choose psilocybin mushrooms. ive only had them once and it was quite the eye opening experience towards nature, religion, purpose, and life in general. supposing there arent any adverse effects with this deal of ours i would see life under that influence all the time

 

[chuckman1]

Well if you count marijuana as a drug then that.
But otherwise I'd pick alcohol for parties and stuff.

 

[DSK-]

Calpol. The purple one. That tasted so damn nice. I used to look forward to having it when I was ill.

 

[Goofguy]

I would have to go with alcohol. I likes me my beer and rye way too much. I don't drink coffee and only really drink pop when it's mixed with alcohol. I can easily find alternative mixes.
