On Drug Use

[ToshX]

One of the main reasons I also don't like them is because people may be able to research them, but who knows what kind of new information we'll come out with sometime :/ And there's already so much medical stuff we already don't know. If a problem can't even be identified, then it's obviously going to be even harder to find out it came from drug use. With drugs, you're putting so much stuff in your body that the possibilities of something happening are huge. That'd be assuming we already knew all of the possible things drugs can do to you in terms of things we've already identified as problems though :/

I mean yeah, it's the same way with some food as well, but I don't feel the need to make things more dangerous than they are. I mean, I know I've already said that, but the point of a thread is to argue why someone would or would not want to start.

Quick EDIT:

Okay, what about medication then? Surely that wouldn't be considered natural by what you described above. Even the acetaminophen in Tylenol damages our liver as its metabolized. In fact, as far as physical effects go, mushrooms and marijuana are safer than tylenol. If painkilling is a valid reason to use a drug, I don't see why fun or learning can't be valid reasons as well.

I don't like to really use medicine at all. I take no medication, and I'd refuse it if it were ever offered to me. I mean, I don't even like using painkillers unless I really need to, I'd rather just lie down. You know, it's not too rare that someone actually gets rid of their sickness/whatever faster WITHOUT painkillers before they get rid of it with painkillers. All the painkillers really do is make you feel okay for a couple of hours until they go away. But that also makes the sickness go away a bit slower in a lot of cases.

I mean, I can't state this as a fact, this is just how I think it works and how it has worked for me.
