Thats kinda weird, I've never felt like that when playing video games, heh. Well maybe this one time when playing GTA3 on the PC, I got this super-trainer called the GTA Admin Console and I'd use it to accelerate my car to insane speeds and cause havok, and it made me laugh alot (out loud in real life) when I crushed scores of people sent cars and trucks flying down the road at Mach 1.

Some of the most intelligent, insightful, creative people in history have had drug addictions and used drugs to think and create the way they did.
You may not want them, need them, or support them. That's fine. But what you should not do is dismiss the possibility that they can have positive effects.

You're very right.
However, I'll still hold to the fact that I'll never do anything mind-altering without a damn good reason, and a short 'high' is certainly not a good reason in my opinion.
By the way, would like some examples of these so-called positive effects, they obviously don't make the news.
