Many would assert that using drugs is ultimately pointless. And yes, I agree to an extent, but then again recreational sex is quite pointless as well. I've come to conclude that a common purpose of both is that they give a taste of happiness--maybe even greatly enhanced happiness relative to one's norm for those who are well off genetically. Our lives are tragically short and, at our current stage of development, we cannot sustain states of extreme elation for very long. For this reason alone, I find reasonable drug-use well justified. If I can't have it, can I at least borrow it, fondle with it, examine it--if only for a day or two? (three you're getting yourself into trouble!)
