Actually unless you are a complete idiot, you will know that you can have plenty of new experiences whilst obeying the law. Just because I don't think it's "cool" to do drugs and don't see being out of your head as fun doesn't mean I'm not an exciting person. It makes me a person who has common sense. These people are not free, they are simply sheep, sheep who follow others in order to try and rebel against the system. It is sad.
If you think you need to take drugs and go outside the law not to have a sad life, I would suggest those drugs of yours have eaten away half your brains cells already. Of course there have been mistakes in society's legal systems in the past, but we have more knowledge than ever, and for me, it is completely nonsensical to take a substance that could substancially increase my chance of dying young and decrease my life span. There has been recent research which has discovered that people who have taken stimulants regularly for the past 10 years are now suffering severe bouts of depression and are much more likely to commit suicide than past generations. This is because effectively, by over stimulating your brain, you use up a particular endorphin within your body that results in highs. In simple terms, because you have overused these endorphins through drug use, there is not enough to keep a person stable in their latter years.
Obviously, weed is linked to things like paranoia etc - I used to have a friend who smoked weed regularly and he suffered diabilitating paranoia to the point where he would rarely step outside his house.
Things like ectacsy/ketamine can obviously result in the swelling of your brain etc.
Personally, these all seem pretty strong reasons for me to not risk it to be frank. With drinking, you risk liver failure if you drink continuously heavily, but with certain drugs, your life can be ended the first time you take them - your body could react negatively/might be cut dodgy etc.
Why risk it, it's so stupid, why think, I could die and miss out on a career, retirement, family, laughter - for what? Wow I took a bit of coke aren't I crazy?
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
