Which DRUG are you according to your ZODIAC sign?
Aries - Cocaine
Aries are perpetually on the move and all about that fast-paced life. One of the sign's positive personality traits is the confidence with which they move through life. However, an Aries with an unchecked ego may have a bit of a "god complex" at times. Cocaine makes its users
talkative, strong-willed, and ready to take on the world's biggest problems, just like the ambitious ram.
Taurus - Weed
A Taurus is known for stubbornness and disliking change. Tauruses (Taurii?) are also homebodies who love to surround themselves with creature comforts, especially food. And you know what makes food taste better? Weed. As unmoving Earth signs, Tauruses have
no problem being couch-locked for a few hours while indulging in some of their favorite snacks and TV shows.
Gemini - Dimethyltryptamine (DMT)
If Geminis were any drug, it would likely be dimethyltryptamine, a psychedelic substance with fleeting but intense effects. Much like a Gemini's flighty nature, DMT provides an extreme but ephemeral trip. It's speculated to be a
chemical released as we dream, and possibly when we die, so experiencing DMT can be vivid at one moment and completely lost the next. This is very much in line with a Gemini's tendency to be hellbent on one thing, and then forget about it and change course within the next moment.
Cancer - Heroin
Cancer is a water sign associated with sensitive, deep moods. When they're feeling negative emotions, Cancerians have a tendency to back away from the world and retreat into their shells when they feel worried or hurt. Like crabs, they burrow themselves into their homes and wait for the harsh tides to ebb.
Heroin converts into morphine once it hits the brain and quickly binds to opioid receptors. Users feel an intense rush and relaxation, letting the world melt away. Characteristically speaking, heroin is a foil to a Cancer's moody side and tendency to fall inward.
Leo - MDMA
A Leo has a reputation for being the charismatic life of the party. This fire sign loves social situations and enjoys being the center of attention. That's why these roaring lions are like 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (better known as MDMA). Rolling on forms of MDMA, such as Ecstasy or Molly, gives users
a euphoric rush that makes them think everyone is their best friend. They probably feel like their most magnetic, charming selves on MDMA, much like how a Leo feels in many party and social situations.
Virgo - Ritalin
Virgos like to focus on something and dedicate all their time to it. They're a very giving sign, with a laser-like ability to hone in on one task or person and make it their focal point. That's why they’re like ritalin - a prescription drug for treating ADHD that's sometimes abused by college students to
force themselves to focus on their overdue paper.
Libra - Shrooms
Libras are cool-as-hell, creative types who love new experiences and the chance to jump into an adventure. Represented by a set of scales, Libra is also a sign that appreciates balance and craves connection with others. That's why Libras are similar to shrooms, AKA magic mushrooms. This dipping-your-toe-in-the-hallucinogenic-pond drug can make users feel
euphoric, creative, and prone to deep conversations.
Scorpio - Ketamine
Scorpios are known to be one of the more... volatile signs. While thes scorpions of the zodiac have many fine traits, their reputation for being intense, dark, and obsessive procedes them. Scorpios have a propensity for explosive emotional displays. In this sense, they are similar to ketamine, a hallucinogenic that can be fun at times, but can also plunge you into a
terrifying nightmare hellscape (a "k-hole") at a moment's notice.
Sagittarius - Alcohol
A Sagittarius is a positive, optimistic sign that likes socializing and learning everything possible. The archer-centaur is a lot like alcohol in this sense. Not the stereotype of the messy drunk, mind you; instead, they're the three drinks in, happy and chatty alcohol buzz. Sagittarians also enjoy
exploring and trying new things, like craft beers or grain alcohols from around the world.
Capricorn - Adderall
Capricorns can be intense, and are known for being focused, dedicated and ambitious. The sea goats are very goal- and career-minded, which is why they're similar to the focus-providing upper that is Adderall. It's a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which
stimulate the central nervous system, and is often prescribed for ADHD. Much like its relative Ritalin, it's also the illegal go-to study drug of many college kids who need to crank out a 20-page thesis in eight hours.
Aquarius - LSD
Aquarians are often thought of as
free spirits. These water-bearers are facilitators of fun, and they're not afraid to take risks. So an Aquarius is a lot like acid - this sign likes to explore things off the beaten track, and doesn't like to conform to societal norms or institutions. That's why they're similar to LSD they're trying to open their minds, man.
Pisces - Too Much Alcohol
Pisces - like Sagittarius - is a lot like alcohol, but the two signs differ in the amount. A Pisces,
one of the more emotional signs, is akin to that too-many-drinks-crying-at-your-reflection-in-the-bathroom-mirror kind of drunk. These fish of the zodiac are very empathetic and prone to bursts of emotion. They're reminiscent of the ridiculously drunk, deep "meaningful" conversation you have at four in the morning with your bestie, where you end up crying and hugging.
