For some reason, I have had almost the exact same conversation over 50 times in the last year alone. Usually its with a new women I am photographing in the midst of the "trying to get to know you" conversation. It goes a little something like this:
---
Me: "Nah, I've never even taken a puff off of a cigarette, I'm that boring. What drugs have you tried?"
Them: "Oh, I dunno. I smoke pot, of course. When I go to parties I'll do some coke occasionally. I've done X (ecstacy) at raves a few times, its fun. Back in high school me and my friends used to drop acid a lot. And man, I went on a meth binge a few months ago that was pretty crazy... "
Me: "Really? Wow. Ever tried Heroin?"
Them: "WHAT!?? OH GOD NO!! I would NEVER do THAT!! That's a SERIOUS drug! GEEZ!! OF COURSE NOT!! NO WAY!!"
---
I'm not the kind of person to judge for the most part, but I still don't see how heroin has such a huge stigma as a serious drug while most everything else is seen as a viable option as a vice.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Apparently it's necessary to be consumer to understand the
nuance or then is it rather a way of giving itself good consciousness:)
although .. in this domain i prefer to remain ignorant but
it's true that they are recurring comments!!

Having in the past "experimented" with various substances - in fact, even doing an unintentionally long-term study of a certain substance, I have arrived at a place wherein my only substance is light, and its effects on digital sensors. I am relieved that my chemical excursions, and my own perceived need for them, has receded so far into what I comfortably refer to as "the past".
However, I am now on the other side of those conversations that you relate; and it is an out-of-body experience, sort of, to observe that feeling of the other that implies that I am the strange one for not indulging.
I do not begrudge anyone anything. If that's your thing then follow your ka, kismet, fate, destiny, duty, or what-have-you.
It is fascinating, though, for me, to see perhaps what I must have seemed like to many people, when I approached life with a conviction that there must always be some buffer between me and it, or that some artificial substance could somehow enhance my experience.....
-Sorry for the rambling babble, but sometimes.....

one of the craziest random sex experiences i've had was in the hospital after a week detoxing... first i made out with a young nurse's aide one afternoon, then started having sexual relations with a 21 year old girl who was coming off heroin. a nurse busted us at one point and we nearly got kicked out, but the girl kept coming back for two nights trying to alleviate/distract herself from the withdrawal by having sex. addiction is insane.
