Booze is nice, though I used to enjoy making myself ill and I don't any more. Tea/Coffee are nice; I'm lucky enough to live in a house with a decent espresso maker. I used to enjoy smoking pot a lot socially (i.e. I smoked other people's) but ever since I had an unpleasant panic attack (on the day my undergraduate results were posted, which didn't help) the attraction has waned somewhat.
I noticed last year when I was smoking a bit with my then flatmates on a regular basis that the effects became less and less interesting as I became habituated. After a couple of weeks of smoking most nights it was basically like having a pleasant headache.
One thing that frustrates me is that in the past I have usually become very creative when stoned, and can churn out songs and creative writing that I'm pleased with when sober. I wish I could find a way to tap this creativity without recourse to a thick smoke that has to be inhaled deeply into the lungs, but so far haven't had much luck. I have so far avoided getting stoned with the expectation of being creative because this doesn't seem very healthy to me.
My only experience of heroin was at university when one of my housemates got addicted and started borrowing fairly large amounts of money. I didn't know what was going on until we moved out. That was pretty weird.
Also, another of my friends who has probably tried just about every drug you could name, said that crack made him feel incredibly normal - much more normal than he had ever felt before. Apparently this isn't a very nice experience. I'm not planning to follow in his footsteps though. I'm terrified of addiction.
The thing I've never tried, or at least not knowingly (I once had a rather suspiciously trippy experience after smoking some very strong pot, which concievably might have been laced with a hallucinogen), is LSD or mushrooms. I'm kind of torn because I know first hand how unpleasant a panic attack can be while under the influence, and it could be really horrible. On the other I think it would be really interesting to become insane on a hopefully temporary basis. I think I'll probably never get round to it though.
