  Agree. I've never used any drug recreationally, other than alcohol. No interest in it, and definitely don't want to wind up on any long term prescription meds.

    Curiously alcohol is one of the worst drugs in any scale. The world worked with drugs before the "war on drugs", and things like opium, cocaine, marihuana... were consumed by tons causing less troubles than alcohol. Opium was seen as the main reason behind chinese inmigrants to the USA being better workers than whites (XIX), so it was outlawed. Of course, the narrative was that opium was evil (you can even read things like chinese men lured white women to opium dens to made them slaves). I prefer to avoid drugs, legal or not. But the war on drugs, any drugs, makes zero sense to me. It's a shame that drugs that were known to treat e.g. depression were outlawed because "say no to drugs", and further research effectively halted for decades. Even today, when a new substance is discovered and used for "fun" is immediately outlawed. If you want fun, your only legal option is alcohol, even when we know it's way worse than, say, ecstasy or acid.
