I feel sorry for people who have never experienced drugs of any sort. I'm not someone who believes that through drugs you can achieve some higher state of consciousness - the experiences are always a deviation from reality. It's during and after the recovery where your self analysis leads you to interesting places.
It's because of this, that my pro-drug feelings are tempered with caution. Some substances are addictive, just as some habits. When those habits occur with such frequency as to allow the deviations from reality to become normal... I think there's a problem.
There are means to be safe with recreational drugs regardless of whatever shock stories the ignorant or critical propagate simply because they are afraid. It's scientific fact that, for example Ecstasy is less dangerous than Alcohol or Tobacco. These are uncomfortable things to deal with if you're a politician or parent - which would be why Professor David Nutt was relieved from his advisor position when he mentioned this.
If drugs are something you are interested in trying - make sure you take those measures. Research your substance, don't dive in at the deep end, draw the line before substances that are going to fuck your entire life up (common sense dictates what they are) and enjoy yourself.
