Re: What are you views about Drugs?
Mankind has the propensity to fuck itself up on anything it lays its hands on, drugs being just one or the least of it.
My experiences with drugs have been recreational and mostly benign with the bad trips here and there. But even with the bad, I've come away taking onboard lessons, so on the whole I've found drugs to be reflective and conducive to who I am now. Of course having the best friends is an undeniable contribution.
At the same time, I'm quite an emotional and neurotic person even before drugs, and I'm pretty sure the worst times I've gone through, those have been exacerbated because of the drugs (well, duh). I have to also wonder if my lousy short term memory is due to the drugs or simple age.
But in the end I survived the drug years to walk away, I'm actually very functional and good at what I do at work (but the possibly drug-enhanced neurosis and insecurity is still there!) and as with life experiences, these have given me different perspectives.
Interestingly enough the last time I was amongst an afterparty binge, I held back on partaking thinking I'd rather spend the day with my girlfriend then than waste it comatose in bed. It was a very interesting shift in priorities for me and I assumed those days are finally running its course and age is moving me on to other stuff in life.
I'm also a proponent of education and minimisation and gave my brother his first pill. He explored it and other stuff for a bit but have since moved on as well.
So out of all this. I think drugs are a stage in life if you're so inclined, worth exploring, can be bad or good, and I'd do it all again!
The more worrying problems are alcohol and smoking!
