It's just that drugs have really grounded my outlook on who I am - they've helped my self esteem a lot as well as giving me the ability to just be comfortable with who I am.
I'm with Killaman on this BUT I will say in fairness of sic that nobody (even the greatest minds of the greatest scientists) really knows how the brain works. It's really tough to say how things in the brain can get altered with various chemicals, even different people have different reactions to the same thing. With all the chemicals* in the environment today slowly leeching into different groups of people with continuing generations (from the father/grandfather that was a farmer that sprayed chemicals to the mother/grandmother that took prescription medication during a pregnancy). There's just sooo many chemicals going every which way in different doses, it's really tough to figure out what "normal" is anymore. Combine these chemicals with a lack of natural selection and natural genetic variance and it's no wonder different people are wired different ways. It's entirely possible a little kick from any chemical could straighten a person out a bit.
For the record though, I still don't agree with or approve mind/conscious altering chemicals except for those that need it to function somewhat normally like those with crippling/chronic pain or cancer patients. It's a crap shoot. I wouldn't want any drug use legal but if you keep it illegal, you're just supporting drug-funded crime and a lack of standards in an underground industry.
chemicals - I use this term loosely to describe anything from prescription meds (especially those that leech/concentrate into drinking water) to street drugs to additives in food.
