While I'm in favor of legalized drugs, that's a load of crap. People may tell themselves that's why they are taking drugs, but people are always lying to themselves aren't they.

Actually, it's not a load of crap at all. See my example in that paragraph. However, most people do not use drugs as a means to explore the universe or understand their lives better. Most people, especially Americans, use drugs to get high and nothing else. There are exceptions to this, though they are few and far between.
