But that's part of her hypothetical - that there wouldn't be any yucky side effects. That would include your legal meds as well.

True, and no professional repercussions either. However I understand people not wanting to take anything at all after they have to take a lot of different things just to keep stable.


I've always had a curious streak and I think if I had the safety guarantee, no addiction and no serious side effects, I'd want to try everything just once. So I could go 'oh that's what that's like.'

Although I'm a caffeine junkie mostly for self-medication purposes I don't like to drink in part because I'm a control freak and in part because I hate the taste. I don't think I'd take anything recreationally because of the control freak part of me. It's possible I'd change my mind but obviously this is hugely hypothetical.

Thanks everyone who's posted so far, this is really interesting.

Hmmm. If I had no experience taking meds or possibility of side effects? I don't know. I don't get "good feelings" from legal meds that typically make people "high", so who knows if they'd work on me lol. However, my nausea medication makes me forget words. That can be entertaining!!

If I had to liken this to drinking (which I can't do anymore), I DO miss getting a wine buzz. Wine is good. I miss it!!!!
