- NEW!
by MargaretMcGhee on June 13th, 2009
I do like to get a little buzz going. For me, over eighty, a single martini does the trick -- or when one of my granddaughters comes over a puff on a special cigarette works too.
by TravNasty on June 11th, 2009
Yes, i love to "alter my state of mind" by using drugs or alcohol. I personally find life to be so much more fun and interesting when intoxicated or under the influence of some controlled substance...but always in moderation :)
by Anonymous on June 11th, 2009
No, I can't stand it. I hate not being fully aware of my surroundings or in control of my own body.
by Woodii on June 11th, 2009
I used to. Now I like the state I get in from meditating or juggling.
by Ditto on June 11th, 2009
If it helps me relax, yes but it isn't a fix, just a distraction. I'm not one to take drinking over the line.
by OldCW wears The COAT of the Cosmos on June 11th, 2009
No, I'm a psychic person. Drinking used to be fun as a kid, but I got used to it. My mind made corrections for the effects and I stopped getting a buzz. My body slows down, but mentally, it does nothing for me.
It's also pretty easy to accomplish much more interesting altered states without the drugs. The clarity is much better.

Hell yes much more intersesting than being straight.
by azlotto on June 11th, 2009
Yes, but nothing stronger than Bud. +5
by Theby on June 11th, 2009
No. I like being in control of my mind.
by Millenium - The Mysterious M. . . GONE! on June 12th, 2009
I like to be in control of my senses at ALL times; especially if I have to tell someone off! LOL
by ACCOUNT CLOSED on June 11th, 2009
No. I'll never understand why people would willingly make themselves stupid. Not to mention the long-term psychological pain and organ damage.
Sorry if I offend any winos or junkies. This just isn't a subject where I care to be sensitive.
by Spirit of the Nomad on June 12th, 2009
Yes, I don't like to escape reality so much but experience it from a different perspective or through a different filter if you will. Different drugs allow to experience different things. Even if it is just a chemical reaction in your mind it's still a fascinating divergence from the norm.
by Galeanda on June 11th, 2009
Not at all. I like to appreciate everything around me and be in the moment, naturally.
by KingLeonidas on June 11th, 2009
I plan on experiencing everything i can while i'm alive. So yes i like altering my state of mind with drugs at a responsible level.
Ore minds alter everyday with different emotions and feelings. Using drugs just makes you experience more emotions and feeling IMO.

It's nice. I'm not a big drinker...I like weed...nothin' stronger. I experimented with mushrooms a couple times, and it was amazing, but it was too intense to do regularly. The only problem is, I'm getting more and more to the point where I feel like everything is more interesting when you're high. It's a slippery slope.
by Merriment on June 11th, 2009
I must.
by zeds_dead_baby on June 11th, 2009
i like to take lsd till im tripping balls.
by uncacal on June 11th, 2009
Yes. Within reasonable limits, which I have determined through experience.
by Baggins on November 24th, 2009
Yes, I enjoy the "state of mind" that I get from drinking. I do it responsibly and I would not even consider me close to being an alcoholic. I used to buy every high I could find but, thankfully, haven't done that for decades now. I just wish I would have saved all that money that I spent on it. I'd be in pretty good shape right now.
by Reptar on October 9th, 2009
Yes, when the situation is right, I love smoking pot and enjoying a cold beer.
by DukeG on September 9th, 2009
ROFL, Yup!
by call me cliche on September 8th, 2009
oh yeah, but I have a tendancy to take it too far & get myself in trouble, with drinking anyways. drugs and I don't really get along, I've never gotten a good high from anything I've tried.
by Anonymous on September 6th, 2009
DEF YES BUT have been sober 3 years this oct 09
by alwayscurious on June 13th, 2009
No, I don't.
by Sparky on June 13th, 2009
No. I don't like it. I like a glass of wine with dinner, but more than this, I don't care for.
by Over and Out on June 13th, 2009
No. I like to be in control of myself and know what's going on around me.
by creamywhip on June 12th, 2009
yes every now and then its an escape,adventure a good laugh to unwind your mind and unleash the hedonistic part of you that dwells inside.I used to do lsd in my late teens and know its a vast connection to something beyond words its all about the experiance of the trip.
by Blackberry. on June 12th, 2009
Yes, not all the time of course, but I drink to have fun.
by Sid on June 11th, 2009
Yes, it's good to get away from boring reality for a while.
by Ganja Girl on June 11th, 2009
a big fat yep and a Manhattan to wash it down sweetheart!
by Lucky on June 11th, 2009
Its fun at the time but hell to pay the day after. Left all the mind-altering drugs behind in California so stick with the Pina Colattas, banana Daiquiries, and canadian whiskey. Plus the California Coolade, Real Sangrea with sprite, but mind you, not all at once, spread throughout the afternoon!
by raindancer on June 13th, 2009
I enjoy it but only on rare occasions. I get drunk about once or twice a year.
by Moongrim on June 12th, 2009
heavy exercise
by Kitt-tastrophy on June 12th, 2009
Sometimes, it's different for each...just have to be in the mood.
by cheerio on September 8th, 2009
No I like to be in an altered state of mind due to drinking AND drugs...but mainly drugs...drinking is so much worse.. paying taxes for a buzz..ridiculous.
by CaptainHarley adores his life penguin on November 24th, 2009
No. I much prefer to keep all my wits about me, thank you.
by fannymanson on November 24th, 2009
Yes and no. I like it when it doesn't make me paranoid.
by Occams Electric Razor on November 24th, 2009
be it meditation or medication, everyone has something they use to get outside of themselves and alter their state of mind. I enjoy a few myself.
by corey420 on November 24th, 2009
