I think somtimes they do. When I try a new drug for the first time or get some really good blow. But in the end the effects are bad :(
 
No, they've made me alot more jaded and hateful, they've made me realize truely how fake most people are.

Psycadellics made me realize how truely full of shit that I, and pretty much everyone who does psycadellics are. They trick themselves into thinking they have all the anwsers to all of lifes problems cause their high on acid, pretend to be all enlightened and all knowing when in reality they are the stupidest of them all.
 
Overall yes, but I've certainly overdone it, primarily with weed and alcohol. Mushrooms have never let me down though.
 
No - they haven't enhanced my life.

Quitting drugs on a regular basis certainly enhanced my life - losing the depression & anxiety; regaining mental clarity & my sex drive; and rediscovering many facets of life that became fuzzy when I decided to dabble in drugs.

If I had quit E after using it no more than six times or so, my perception would be quite different - abusing drugs is a bitch.

i feel that weed enhanced my life in the beggining, but then had its downfalls

benzo's and meth never enhanced anything

ecstacy cured my social anxieties and thus made me a better person, enhancing life

psychadelics taught me more about my life and the universe than anything so yes that has enhanced my life a great deal.

booze never really enhanced anything long term wise

i never really liked opiates, but ive had friends that are now souless from it so no they did not enhance my life.

in conclusion, abusing anythign with lead to non-enhancment. safe responsible drug use with the goal of enhancement will bring enhancement. you never see a junkie goign to try do something productive with theyre highs, but many a psychonaut with have enhancement /end bias conclusion :)
 
Only psychedelics but even they are debatable, the rest have had mainly negative impacts on my life. If i could go back and tell myself what to take id say trip every year, smoke pot no more than every 3 months and take E a maximum of 3 times, enjoy your beer and fuck all the other shit.
 
Drugs made me realize how vapid and uninteresting I was before drugs and still am, albeit in different ways. At least I figured out why I didn't have any friends in high school [;

As a still somewhat novice user, I don't think I can yet evaluate what they've really done to me beyond that.
 
To quote whoever it was that said it: only when I've been high.

Other than that they've been an awful setback for my physical, emotional, and personal development.
 
Overall i think they have changed me but not enhanced me....im less paranoid about shit and a little more carefree but i have noticed that i get very sad very fast and i was never like that before i started trying stuff

so i would say changed not enhanced

Overall, would you say that drug (ab)use (licit or illicit) has had a positive effect on your life?

Drugs have helped me know myself, psychedelic drugs have allowed me to resolve things in my head that otherwise would have been buried. At other times drugs have made me friends and have been great to use and share with friends. Drugs have also helped me with anxiety, a nice benzo or two a day keeps me on the level. What does the rest of bluelight think?

I'd like if this could be a yes/no poll please.

It is absolutely not a "yes" or "no" question for me. Drugs have enhanced my life in certain ways, and wrecked it in others. They may be enhancing their own wreckage, like someone who shoots you and then offers to sell you medical insurance and painkillers.

Would I have been better off if xxx had happened rather than yyy? I'll never know, because xxx never did happen. Speculation is all good, but only goes so far.

Ultimately, I probably would have been better off without drugs. But "ultimately" doesn't mean sh*t in the real world. There are no time machines. One has to work with things as they are, not as how they wish them to be.

T.H.C expanded my understanding and love of music(making me a musician), benzo's helped me past my social phobia, opiates helped me past social anxiety, stims helped me in school when I had a shit sleeping sched. and psychedelics helped me sort out my life, find a direction and realize my career path... the trick is keeping the positive effects after you stop using the drug. enough said
 
Different substances helped me find my place in the universe. I've always been a thinker, and my drug use helped me realize that I was thinking too much and doing too little.

Drugs showed me different perspectives on life in general. I've realized how happy I can be with the simple things I possess. I just let go and went with the flow of my life and environment. This isn't saying that I'm a bum who doesn't have any motivation whatsoever; it's more of "I've learned to accept what life throws at me and make the most out of it."

Psychedelics in particular gave broadened my perception of my "ideal" self - who I could be, how I could relate to other people, how I could live my life. But the psychedelics didn't exactly change the "real" me, who I really was and what I instinctively do. It doesn't have to be so polar (i.e., chase the ideal self while leaving the real self behind), that'd be quite retarded. What I did was blend the two personalities and as of now I'm content with my life.

To sum it all up, drugs have, for the most part, made a positive impact on my life. Suffice to say, however, there are also times when I'm standing on the border between recreational use and addiction itself. It's usually difficult to avoid addiction, but if you love yourself you'll do whatever it takes to stay away from it. I gave drugs a shot because I didn't want to die without any idea of what these substances could've shown me.
 
No,most drugs have only caused problems.i've had a few positive experiences with MDMA not the MD what the fuck ever speedy shit thats around now.

benzos and opiates are just a part of my life now, they allow me to function.

All in all drugs have had a negative impact on my life .
 
i don't think they have.....though my anxiety issues may have something to do with past abuse. but the anxiety and other issues also didn't come upon me until after taking an ssri (wrongly prescribed to me after a panic attack after a SERIOUSLY traumatic personal event)

but even when abusing them, i was young and didn't have responsiblities so they weren't negative at all. and, i was able to quit very very easily as soon as i needed to.

alcohol however, the legal drug, has indeed been a negative.

mdma and various psychedelics have been a godsend.

those of you who say they have negatively affected you, which ones did you use, and did you abuse them?
