I've used various drugs for various reasons. I no longer use illegal drugs because of my job, but I've used quite a bit in the past.

Cannabis is great for unwinding when you just cant force yourself to stop thinking about work or other worries. It's also just plain fun.

I enjoyed LSD the most. Aside from the hallucinations and euphoria (both of which were good enough reasons to use it) the drug causes a lot of introspection. You wander down some corridors of the mind you would normally never visit. I feel like I know myself better because of it. My first trip alone caused me to make some life changes afterward which have greatly improved my life today.

Much has been said about the therapeutic value of mdma, but that as not been my experience. It's a lot of fun, you do feel closer to those around you, but I don't think I took much away from it. I've mainly done this at clubs, so perhaps it would be different in another setting.
