Hiya. Yeah, I try not to totally bash drugs because I haven't ever
experienced them. I'm sure I'd like it once they took effect, why
else would so many use them for pleasure/enhancement? I choose not to
use them for my own reasons...mostly because of negative exposure to
them in familial and friendly relationships...Corny as fuck, but my
heights are reached when making or listening to music we love on this
list. Hey hey!
BUT I just wanted to give a quick voice from a different perspective.
It is tempting to become near anti- drugs when you choose not to do them
but you're immersed in surroundings where people do them. I find it
funny that people consider drugs a "counterculture" still. I've not met
many people who have never done drugs by choice (i.e. not prevented by
medical condition)... After being in high school, then college (Oberlin
College...not exactly a the non-drug fortress, eh?), and all the while being
heavily influenced by and involved in electronic music, it takes some
effort not to resent my surrounding which I feel pretty alienated from...
But I try. Brilliant people use and are influenced by frugs and that
can't be ignored.
Then of course, there are those like the guy who told me that
I can't enjoy a 303 unless I'm on acid. Whatevah... ANd besides, I think
you could watch Home SHopping Club and it would be more exciting on acid...
Although I think even the most enthusiastic of (open minded) drug users
steer clear of comments like that 303-comment guy.

That would suck. You should never be kicked off a list, especially for
honesty, ya know? I guess the only thing might be that after abandoning
alt.rave and alt.music.techno (not as bad as alt.rave) because there
was more drug discussion than music discussion, I'd hate to see the same
thing happen on idm or another music list. I.e., it seemed a waste of
mail space when someone on analogue_heaven posted "WHO'S ON ACID?" (although
it was a funny waste of mailspace.) I'm contributing to the very phenomenon
I'm hoping to avoid so c-ya... My 2 cents.
