The problem I have with drugs is they make me feel like my emotions are not valid. That I am an entirely different person because my chemistry was changed quickly by a means more unnatural than any other-
It makes me sad, actually, that I cannot do drugs as easily as the average abuser, but I think it makes everyone sad, though, when they are fundamentally different in a way that isn't artsy or cool. I like drugs. I enjoy the atmosphere surrounding drugs. I used to use them with horrible ease- it's just, now, I panic easier.
It's not that I feel I am in less control- it's that drugs show me just how little control I had to begin with. Even sober I am not in control of my emotions. They are directly influenced by music, what I eat, what people say to me, my hormones, etc. Drugs enable me to see this truth more clearly, so, while I adore the physical and sometimes mental effects, there is that omnipresent clarity that I loathe, which makes using a toss-up- "Am I going to break down this time, or simply enjoy the high?"
