Now that this thread has run its course, it is interesting to note the results.
It’s not surprising that the big three are tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis. They’re the only options that are legal (for the most part).
More than half of the respondents having tried cocaine is a true shock to me, as is over 25% having smoke meth at least once.
I feel like we’ve got a pretty wide range of types of drugs as well. Doesn’t seem like CP discriminates. We like uppers, downers, and hallucinogens.
On noting that the vast majority of the drugs listed are illegal to use recreationally in any form, I do find it extremely interesting how little that seems to matter for such a large part of the population. It almost seems like chasing an altered state of mind is a very human behavior at its core, especially when you consider I left off shit like caffeine, which is probably even more widely used than anything listed.
I mentioned earlier, but there was a debate in DC that sparked my curiosity on this subject. There were some mentions of the idea that all drugs should be legalized, which is usually a pretty hotly debated topic. Part of me thinks a grown ass adult should be able to decide what they put in their own body. Another part of me knows a hell of a lot of people would ruin their ****ing lives lol
