In answer to the OP's question: No. I wouldn't want to hurt myself by using any drugs and I value how my brain normally functions too much to want to alter it.

I am curious, though, whether drugs actually create a mental state that is different from what a person normally experiences. For example, would drugs just extend a feeling (such as pleasure) that I already have, causing the feeling to last longer, or would drugs increase the intensity of that feeling (creating an experience of SUPER-pleasure)?

I will live and die without knowing the answer to that question firsthand. But what *is* the answer?
