Actually I don't drink. I mean, I have before. I've even gotten really trashed a few times, but alcohol isn't for me. I guess I'm spoiled on all the good shit, if you know what I mean.
When it comes down to it, alcohol is a drug too. I'm sure you know that, but I'm just putting this in context. Alcohol is a legal drug, that many people use. If we're looking at the effects on the body vs the buzz? I would say that it's an inefficient drug.
Now, hypothetically speaking...if I did drugs. I would probably really like opiates. Opiates are absolutely fantastic drugs. Bar none, opiates are tops in terms of traditional-style drugs.
You get energy, but not because you're sped up--the euphoria is so great that you feel like you have more energy. Your body feels fantastic, to the point that laying down close to sleep is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. On a strong dose, you feel sleepy, but not in a groggy way. More like a beautiful summer day by the water, you might doze off.
During the euphoria, you don't give a shit. Your negative feelings shut off, and you can talk at length about anything you want to. This is where a lot of people get hooked. I'm sure that's how Em got hooked, because things wouldn't bother him as much at first.
Weed, of course, is always great. I don't smoke weed (not even hypothetically) anymore, as I guess I'm just not wired for it. It doesn't shut things off, it turns them on, and I really don't want to think about some shit all of the time.
As far as other types of drugs go, psychedelics are the most interesting. Non-addictive, and nearly all of them are virtually benign, in terms of physical harm. Mentally, they stimulate the brain in ways unimaginable, pushing the boundaries of perception in a way that is awe-inspiring. It's like instant enlightenment, or a way to immediately jump out of the box and think for a bit.
Mescaline is, as I've said many times before, the very best. I've heard DMT tops it, but I don't have any personal knowledge of it. DMT is a tryptamine--the tryptamine, really--and Mescaline is a phenylamine. Phenylamines have a more gentle vibe, and for that reason, I would argue that Mescaline is best for your everyday person.
So...yeah. Does that kind of answer your question?
