Drugs! Drugs! Drugs!

Cigarettes and coffee are my drugs.

I used to drink a fair bit when I was still a student. Ever since I do not need a fully functioning brain anymore, I've mostly stopped drowning my brain cells in alcohol.

Had some pot when I was fifteen, got very sick from it, and didn't touch it since. Have never tried anything stronger, with the motto: 'I'll really like it, or really not, and either way will be a problem'.

One more vote to legalise and tax it.

Lastly, do watch out with alcohol and drugs. I've seen good people be destroyed by both. It is very dehumanising.

NiQuil camouflages reality and keeps me sane.

Same here. I know people who smoke pot, but I choose not to smoke it. If that's what they want to do to have fun or relax I see no problem with it.

A classic—perhaps the classic—combination.

Hey, I'm not gonna lie. If cocaine were legal and cheap I would totally be a coke head. But as it stands I will have to settle for Chicken Fried Steak and strong coffee.

I fully admit to being a caffeine addict, I really do need a bare minimum of 4 coffee's equivalent in a day to get through it. Reaching 8 isn't particularly unusual for me and can lead to some hilarious situations when I go further and get a massive caffeine rush during uni classes. I drink quite regularly, more regularly than most of my mates, but I haven't done that in a couple of weeks and have made myself drive around a lot more just so I can prove to myself I don't need it.

I've never smoked cigarettes in my life and utterly detest the idea - plus being asthmatic from a very young age sort of puts me off the idea. However, I've tried marijuana a few times and it has had varying effects on me. First time did very little, and the third time was very mellowing, but the second time is an experience I will never forget that was so incredibly fantastic.

As for legalisation, I fully support the complete decriminalisation of drugs and instead focussing on rehabilitation and the drug trade. I suggest that anyone who wants to know more about how successful this has been in Portugal should read this paper (PDF file down near the bottom) by Glenn Greenwald.

Strongly against all drugs.

I avoid even Panadol/Panadine etc unless I can't walk due to pain.

Never had any coffee. Never had any alcohol. I hold my breath while walking past smokers. Cease talking to people I know IRL that do drugs constantly.
