To be drugged is to be taken away from yourself and your core values. I’ve taken both meth and MDMA
And the same drug that harms one person can be used to heal another. For example, I take a small dose of amphetamines for ADHD, it helps me be human. For other people with different chemistry, it is bad times.
For me a drug is just a chemical you use with the intent of altering your current state. Meth, nicotine, caffeine, paracetamol, insulin, MDMA, all are drugs. Sometimes sugar too, if I'm eating it to try to get a burst of energy instead of just eating to not be hungry.
To me, drugs aren't inherently harmful or helpful. They all have different upsides and downsides for different people in different circumstances. I would not recommend amphetamines to non-ADHD people, even though it is medically helpful to me.
It is stupid how much time and money is invested in drug busts though when I can get maggot for $10 on a bottle of cheap grog within 15mins. The societal cognitive dissonance between drug types is why I'd love for the police to do something more useful.
