What are your thoughts on recreational drug use?

The term “drug” can mean a lot of things: it can refer to dangerous, illegal drugs (e.g., heroin and methamphetamine) or not-so-dangerous, illegal drugs (e.g., marijuana) as well as dangerous, legal drugs (nicotine, alcohol) and not-so-dangerous, legal drugs (e.g., salvia? I can’t think of many recreational examples here).

What determines, for you, if it’s acceptable to use a drug—its potential for harm, its legality, both, or something else?

Do you have any significant experiences with drugs (positive or negative; legal or illegal) that you’d be willing to share?

Are there circumstances under which you would use a drug that you wouldn’t use currently?

Do you think other people should share your position on drugs (e.g., you do not take drugs and think others should not, or you do use them and think others should try them)?

Do you think drug experiences can be meaningful and important, or is it too artificial for you?
