My story is:
I was prescribed ADD meds when I was in elementary school. They gave me tremendous anxiety but got me straight A's, all that nonsense. I turned into a complete psycho and all I wanted to do was get things done.
The ADD meds were put off to go on numerous diets, including the wheat free / dairy free diet and a sugar free diet. Afterwards, I was put back on meds.
I became addicted to Adderall in my junior year of high school. I learned that my depression in the evenings was caused by my medication wearing off, and so I took more. I experimented with taking extra doses of Adderall every day, and especially liked things when I took it with coffee. It sped up the day and filled my mind with thoughts, made everything interesting... there were days I took up to four pills a day. Things went fast, my heart beat fast, it was speed. When I was off of them, I would act like a drunk. I would ram into things and act downright stupid, slurring in my speech, acting dumb as anything. Over the summer I slowly took myself off the drug, and now I only take a quarter of a "blue guy" when I feel the need to be productive. A half a pill has the same effect on me now that two or three pills did before.
However, now I have a new deal... marijuana. I've decided that it is not evil like the media wishes us to believe. I've gotten far better grades this year than I did last, and I only smoke once or twice a week at the most. I do not feel depressed after it like I did for Adderall, and I've learned that it improves eating, sleeping, and all sorts of things. There have been no negative side effects... yet... it is against the law.
Another thing I've experimented with is magic mushrooms. They gave me realizations and inspiration like none other, and allowed me to have a conversation with light that made me want to run around and tell everyone about Jesus. It made me realize what was important and what wasn't, and put me in a much more natural zone. It was a religious experience and one that I believe everyone ought to have, but once again, it was against the law.
My dad told me to think to myself, "Would God want me to do this?" before trying these plants, and I believe that God put them here with those effects and probably wouldn't have done so if he wanted us to avoid them.
I was wondering, what is the general Christian community's outlook on this sort of thing?
