I think we ought to look at the motivations behind abusing these drugs vs the drugs themselves. My suspicion is that these drugs fill a void that our society has created. We're an extremely isolated and emotionally dysfunctional country who puts premiums on economic status, but doesn't teach our kids how to relate, feel self-worth, or feel connected to others.

I've been a DJ for several years now, I'm 31 living in Portland, OR. When I'm in a mood to escape, be it flying through space or at a hallucinogenic, prehistoric jungle dance party with the animals... I listen to a style of electronica (techno) called psytrance. It's usually around 148bpm, heavily synthesized, trippy, and extremely complex. You can listen to samples at www.psyshop.com. Here's one of my favorites http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/tip/tip1cd046.html (try Party Animals or Unreal). There's also psy channels on services like Shoutcast, etc.
