Drugs are bad for you.

Physiologically, they are bad for your body - there really is no way around that. This is coming from a man who loves his drugs, and thus far is one of two people on this board who have copped to the hooker thing as well.

That's why you feel like a dog's ass the day after doing them, it's your body saying: oy! Jackhole! Don't do that to me again!

The flip side is that they can be very, very good for your psychological life.

Some people place a high value on their physical health - others seek as wide a range of experience in life as they can. Some people really shouldn't take drugs simply because they don't have the psychology to handle them. Unfortunately, a lot of people who shouldn't take them do. And then of course there are drugs that are so powerful that it doesn't matter what your psychological make-up is, they will probably take over and own you (see: crack, heroin).

While I personally feel that most people would benefit greatly from a little narcotic experimentation, I don't have an issue with anyone deciding they just don't want to.

And for the record, I don't like roller-coasters.
