Cannabis - I'm currently looking into getting my medical card here in the states as it is a remarkably effective treatment for my chronic migraines. As a recreational or entheogenic drug, I don't particularly care for it - it makes being social stressful and I've never felt like I learned anything from it. For me, it's just a very effective painkiller.

Opiates - Don't like, unless I'm recovering from surgery. As painkillers, they do the job and I'll give them that, but at the cost of nausea, itching, hiccups, and feeling like my head has been filled with roofing insulation. I don't get how folks becoming addicted to them, I really don't. Not what I'd call pleasant.

Alcohol - Not much of a drinker, to be honest. I hate the flavor. Never found a beer or wine I actually enjoyed drinking, it all tastes wretched to me. When I was in college I would drink at parties to get drunk and the first few times I loved it, but eventually it got boring. The experience of being drunk is fun, but also always the same, and even when you don't 'black out,' there's always a feeling like your memories from the night have been desaturated and washed out.

Also, it makes my OCD terrible the next morning.

Cocaine - Only had it once. I felt like a king for 15 minutes, and then spent 45 minutes irritably wishing for more cocaine. Seemed like a waste of money.

MDMA = Tried it a few times in college, I liked it, certainly, it was very enjoyable, but it lacked any sort of 'depth' that might draw me back into it. It was pleasureable and I could clearly see how in some cases it would be therapeutic, but at a party setting it wasn't 'interesting' enough to make me come back to it.

Blessings
