Do you, or have you ever used illicit drugs? (Please circle one)
Y
Do you or have you ever abused other, legal substances? (E.g. alcohol, medication, huffing chemicals?) (Please circle one)
Only a little.
If so to either, what type of drugs were used and at what age did you start these practices?
I've used marijuana on and off since high school. I tried coke once when I was 20 but I didn't like it. I drank a lot when I was 19-20, but I don't anymore. I enjoy the occasional pill from time to time, but I'm not hooked.
What reasons do you/do you not have for taking drugs?
Weed makes me feel better. It helped me with my depression and anorexia. A combination of marijuana use and my amazing wife have helped me COMPLETELY overcome both.
Do you believe that certain illegal drugs should be either legalised or decriminalised? If so, which ones?
Marijuana, definitely. It is the only drug I consider to be completely safe.
Do your friends use similar drugs and/or share similar views to you? (Please circle one)
Yes. Now, of course a lot of my friends use different drugs than I do, but I try not to get judgemental.
Do you have a drug related mental condition? (Please circle one)
No
Do you feel that there is a connection between the creative arts and drug culture in any way? If so, how?
Of course. Drugs (especially psychadelics) have ways of altering your perception, oftentimes causing the user to see and create things that they otherwise could not.
Do any of the musical groups you listen to influence your decision? If so, how? And what music do you listen to?
I am not so easily told what to do. I do enjoy listening to music while I use marijuana, but the two are independent activities for me.
Have the attitudes presented in films towards drugs made you think about them in a different way? If so, please circle whether it positive or negative.
Negative, mostly.
Do you feel that drug use is glorified in the world of creative arts? If so, please circle which aspect of the creative arts you feel glorifies drug use.
Film and Television (Music) Visual Art (Literature) Other (Please specify)
