text: Hmmm. I read over alot of the other answers and none of them describe me, so Im gonna explain why I do drugs (Im 17). \n\nI'll start by saying that I dont do stupid drugs like crack or meth, that destroy your body and leave you hooked. The drugs I use are pot, acid, magic mushrooms, occasionally opium, salvia divinorum, and i smoke cigarettes.\n\nI use drugs not because I think its "cool" or because I was pressured into doing any. I use drugs for meditation and mind expansion for the most part. Someone who has never tried acid or shrooms wont really understand when I tell them how amazing mind expansion is. Pot I use for meditation mostly, it takes concentration, but I've gotten good at it. As a result of my experiences with drugs and meditation I've reached a level of inner peace and happiness that I'd never before thought possible. I'm not saying you cant do this without drugs, but it makes it somewhat easier. And I dont need to be high all the time either to feel that effect. \n\nAnd of course I do get high for the occasional party or whatever. No big deal. As long as you know what youre doing and youre careful, everythings just fine.\n\nPeace
