It's hilarious how this thread is full of people who say "I don't see what's so fascinating about them, either though I haven't even touched them with a ten-foot pole". I mean, really now.

And no, I've not done drugs, but I'm not going to see that I don't see anything in them. If I read what drugs've done to some person's life, then I'm all against them, but from what I know, I bet trippin' on acid is one helluva fun ride.

I don't find drugs, alcohol or tobacco appealing. So, I don't take, drink or smoke, at all.

Caffeine(yes, caffeine is technically a drug), Alcohol and Tobacco... Yes I do get those sometimes, but not at all times. Other drugs, I don't do those...

EDIT: By the way, you get addicted to sorts of drugs due to its addictive properties. And it is not true that you can't fight the addictions, it is your will not to take in those drugs that you can't fight. I do smoke tobacco, but I didn't get to the point where I will smoke 2 cartons of it. Strategy: place a border limit to yourself.

Drugs, huh? I've done lots of the drugs in my day.

Now, no. Except for the Caffeine, the alcohol, and the tobacco. And sometimes ibuprofin if I'm feeling adventurous.

Because if you even LOOK at weed you're instantly addicted to it and braindead. Duh.

People seem too have this insane belief that experimenting with drugs automatically ruians your life and leaves you living on the street.
Nah, I don't believe that, but there are always people like that.

I have used alcohol and marijuana before. I'll never use drugs like cocaine or heroin.

Now, why are drugs fascinating? Depends what drugs we're talking about. The only substances I'm interested in are psychedelics/hallucinogens; like psilocybin and salvia. I don't plan on using any soon, but they look like they could be worthwhile experiences.
Salvia is an incredible experiance, unfortunatly the one time I tried mushrooms I slept through it (it was about 2/3 in the morning), however I did feel incredibe when I woke it up.

I don't understand how people can judge the appeal or appropiatness of drugs without trying them (unless you are a firm believer of being healthy and fit). YOu cannot comprehend you mind being in AN altered state until you have reached THAT altered state. Until then how can you judge whether it is acceptable/nice?

I don't do drugs and I have no respect for anyone who does. Though that said i think it's rather stupid Weed is illegal while Alcohol is not.
Why do you have noe respect for someone who has tried some drugs? Or do you mean drug taking won't make you respect them any more than you already did?

Valium? In my experience it's an awful, terrible drug. Not due to the high that you get from it but because of it's after-effects. My friend once took it and ended up passing out for 2 days and spending the next week looking and acting like he was a heroin addict. It was really quite scary, it's definitely something I would never try again.

OT: Yes, I use drugs and to be honest, since I started i've become a far more happy, relaxed and tolerant person. I single-handedly put this down to the drugs. I took acid the other day and just went for walks through the park with my close friends and guess what? It was amazing, it was the greatest day of my life, I could shower this post with superlatives but I think you get the picture. Listening to classical music, watching the different patterns in the clouds, in the trees and the streams, it was truly beautiful. I'm so glad I did it because since then i've been much happier and I truly appreciate nature, as cliched as that is. So I guess that would be the fascination with acid.

As to other drugs, the reason people do them is because of the good experiences. Yes there are going to be risks involved but it's the same for people who climb up mountains with-out safety equipment and yet we don't view that with contempt and revile, most of us consider that amazing, so there is definitely a double-standard somewhere in the spectrum of recreational activities. I don't see the problem if you consider the good experience to be worth the risks involved, as long as you know the risks. Is that so terrible?

I don't do drugs. I don't even drink or smoke.

Yet I'm more than willing to destroy myself with fizzy drinks like coke x.x

Yes, it's one of the MANY things I do for a laugh, or a social experience, I am quite capable of choosing to do something else, but variety is the spice of life.

Something like weed or shroom is something perfectly fine to TRY at least once, given to the fact that it isn't inherintly addictive, I mean fair enough if you're not interested, and understand the point, but acting like "what's the point" is like saying whats the point in wanting to do something pleasurable and relaxing.

People do drugs to see what I see when I'm sober.

But seriously, drugs are about selfishness, because the make you feel good.
I do not do drugs because I like to think I'm better than that.
Great logic there.

It's selfish to feel good?

Wow! I better get the razor and some make-up.
Okay, point taken. Not everything people do to feel good is selfish, but how are drugs making anyone but yourself feeling good? I mean, seems pretty self-motivated to me. I don't know too many people who get high to make their friend feel good.
Jeesh, whats with you? You generally get stoned in a group anyway, which is pretty selfless to me, what are you some sort of self hater who refuses to do anything good for the themselves?
"selfishness, because the make you feel good." Do you walk around flogging yourself each day or something? Most things I do are for my own benefit, or if they're for someone else, I'm doing it because I want them to feel good, and usually because I WANT to help them. Seriously...most things people do for themselves are not about selfishness.

It depends what drugs. Generalising all drugs as the same thing is ridiculous. Personally, I've never done anything further than weed or NOS (or alcohol, I guess). I wouldn't do anything that's very addictive or harmful.

No, but every time that new Pot Noodle advert comes on I feel like I accidentally have.
