Why is there such a stigma for using drugs to "do something constructively"?
I'm a relatively young guy who used to be fairly anti-drugs (even alcohol) but have since changed due to some life issues
Among the most drug-friendly people I hang out with, some of them seem to look down/abhor the idea that on the weekends, I drink before certain tasks to "increase motivation". I don't get wasted and looking at it, if I have an addiction, I honestly don't believe it's at the level that would warrant concern. Never assualted anyone physically and/or sexually, don't harrass my parents or people verbally in public and in general keep quiter than when I'm not drinking.
It may have to do with the fact that I have some suicidal ideation and agression when I'm sober but I still control both of those when sober just fine though I constantly have racing thoughts
As a matter of fact, I really don't like drinking or smoking (only smoked a pack months ago) as they make me feel quite sick but it's just for when I need that extra motivation to clean the house, play the piano (inb4 alcohol reduces co-ordination. sedates my mind) etc..
I don't look at people who use drugs purely for a recreational puprose as that's silly so long as they're not harming others or myself but I find it interesting that some people believe using drugs for a constructive task is either impossible (many people seem to brlievr that drugs can only make your cognitive skills go down) or creates a dependance and makes you worse at the task when sober in the long run.
What do you guys think?
