I've never seen the point of taking drugs, so never have. Reality is much too interesting to avoid it.

- Riesling 12y ago> Reality is much too interesting to avoid it. Some people do not take drugs to avoid reality. They take them to explore it. What one has to realize is that the experience we call "reality" is only a subjective image created by our minds. There is a chain of filters applied to everythings our sensors (eyes, ears, skin and so on) register. Drugs are able to influence those filters. Hence one might be able to see "reality" from a different point of view.

- e40 12y agoAgreed. When in my 20's I had a huge epiphany while having a high fever. The fever had changed my brain in some way that allowed me to see something about my life that I hadn't seen before. After the fever was gone, the thoughts remained and it was still obvious that it was true, so it wasn't just delirium and crazy thoughts produced by it.
- mikeash 12y agoDrugs are part of reality, so I find your statement to be incredibly ironic. You're deliberately avoiding an entire class of experience under the guise of not avoiding reality! (Disclaimer: I've never taken any drugs besides light alcohol and caffeine use and some medical stuff, but that doesn't mean I can't spot the obvious contradiction here.)
