That meaning, anything that is not directly impeding with another person's rights (Life, liberty, and property). The only drugs I see that are in violation of these boundaries are drugs that make a person lose touch with reality, while still maintaining their motor skills.
Honestly, despite my love to debate and habit of playing devil's advocate, I can not form a logical arguement that should ban the use of mind altering substances that is not formed on religion.
Also, as an interesting side note, I still think / hope for drugs to be legalized; despite the fact that means that drug selling will then be commercialized and thus I will lose the luxary of getting free hand outs from dealer friends... Or making a quick couple hundred bucks in a pinch.

2) For those of you who don't do any illegal substances, would you try them if they were legal?
Non-applicable.

4) What event/median influenced your opinion on drug use the most? The law, media, friends/family etc...
The thing that influenced me the most, at this point, is my own experiences. Although I was semi-opposed to them before I tried any, the more varieties I have had the more I realized that many drugs are actually extremely useful for learning about yourself and your surroundings. Still, I think that there are both useful and plain old guilty fun substances.

5) Lastly, have you ever willfully tried any drugs? If so, which kind and how often
Many, pretty often
