Mbo, think of it like make-up. Some women wear lots, some less, and some don't wear any. Everybody has different faces and different appreciations for the amount of acceptable makeup, generally those who like to see lots of make-up also wear lots of makeup. Anybody who puts make-up on to look good, not for theatrical special effects, tries to emphasize their best points. Drugs don't completely alter people but they do emphasize different aspects of their personalities, while hiding or suppressing other sides. For some people this frees their creativity and for others it cramps it. The skin does need to breathe though so you need times when you aren't wearing makeup, addiction is a burden and its better not to become addicted, but trying it out does not always mean a one way ticket to the gutter, just make the do it in a controlled environment. Experimenting with make-up, drugs or other people's bodies should be done with care and concern not idolatry or condemnation.

PS, I'm writing this on two glasses of champagne, two glasses of red wine and one black russian , a relative's birthday, not a regular evening at home.
