Are There Any Positive Effects of Experimental Drug Use?

Question by Kotek: Are there any positive effects of experimental drug use?

Best answer:

Answer by Kat
I wouldn’t think so. Especially if you’re thinking of experimenting with ecstasy, cocaine, meth, prescription pills, herion, shrooms, etc. The only drug I’ve ever used or trusted is marijuana, but I would never, ever touch anything else (I don’t even smoke cigarettes, though I do sometimes have a drink – I hate getting/being drunk, though). Also, most illegal drugs are very addictive, even cigarettes can be addictive after one use and they’re legal! I don’t exactly know what drugs you mean by “experimental drug use,” but I wouldn’t recommend it to you or anyone else.
