I've always personally been of the opinion that people who don't entertain any thoughts of poking their consciousness in some way are missing the point of life. If you don't ask "why am I here" or "what's this all about" then things get pretty bland pretty quickly. And as soon as you do ask these questions then techniques to properly get into the exploration pretty soon lead you to techniques to expand horizons - therapy, meditation - and yeh, drugs.

Dependency (on anything) is clearly bad but a gentle dabble in order to explore our world, our brains and the relationship between them seems to me to be necessary, healthy and ...well, fun.
