I'm laid up this weekend with a flu, and there's only so much "serious" politicking I can handle, so here's some fluff!
I've got a question for y'all; do you use drugs? If so, what? If not, why? Any favorites? Horror stories?
I'm less up for a debate on legalization than I am for some good old fashined storytelling. I've met people who are much further into chemical living, and I've met people who have felt like "bad liberals" beause they never used marijuana. I'm curious about all this. What's your story?
My own revelations below the fold.
I've been a chemical experimenter for a while. I grew up in a kind of hippie town so I took a reactionary anti-pot stance to help stand out from the crowd as an adolescent, but I eventually got into beer, cocktail mixing, tangled with psychadelic mushrooms, pot (it was inevitable), LSD, MDMA (ecstasy), opium, and a little bit of coke. I'm also a hopeless coffee junkie.
While my opinions vary from chemical to chemical, overall I've found altered states to be rewarding experience. You can check the full archive out here:

Also, for people looking for real information on the subject of psychoactives, I can't recommend this website highly enough:
