Inspired by that other guys poll. So what are your motives behind doing drugs? This can include activities you enjoy while high or whatever.

Being high. I learn new things about the world around me(or not new exactly...but undisovered things...discovered!) and myself. There's just something that makes me giddy with the fact that I can stick a chemical in my body that bonds perfectly with all my circuitry in my head.
I'm a little weirder(but no bad conotations on that word) and a much better person because of the use of psychedelics.
My alcohol consumption is something I want to tone down. But that is the accepted drug among a lot of society...so obviously with so many people, getting drunk is usually hella fun

Different substances let me experience different things. I can't narrow it down to one thing.

Mostly fun
Last saturday/sunday I also really bonded with some people I was already close to, and some people that I now feel much closer to. Probably wouldn't have happened without the drugs sadly.

pot:
when i smoke it releases tension, i feel like it makes me more social, and more willing to accept the idiosyncrasies of other people. in fact i feel like it enables me to be more aware of my idiosyncrasies thus allowing me to optimize how i use them in conversation, humor or wit.
mushrooms:
taking mushrooms is very spiritual for me. i know that when i take mushrooms I'm getting a glimpse at not just the Riddle;e of the universe, but the answer and whose telling that joke to me. anything is possible. everything is singular, and i become aware of realities singularity. this can be hell or heaven. i choose heaven most of the time.
also i gain a profound respect for sober reality for months after a shroom journey. how wonderful to have Terra firma firmly beneath your feet.
Ecstasy:
i take this with friends, good friends and people whom i want to be good friends with. i take this with lovers. and every time a connection is formed between myself and these people, in fact, the entire group forms a tight web of connectivity and energy transfer. no worries. just comrades at arms or a loyal lady by my side.
i sing, play guitar, play piano, dance, find out about other peoples pasts hopes fears dreams.
this is the drug that forms tribes.
LSD:
taking LSD allows me to break down reality to its most smallest infinite points, and contrast and compare them with the vast realm of my own consciousness. i like to call my level 5 LSD sessions "gods eye view". so much to be discovered and remembered with this ally. pattern recognition becomes a tool for finding similarities in any existing thought or reality. neutral, chimera, abstract, paradoxical, perfect. these things are all the same.
opiates:
they make me feel like I'm in the womb. and every time I'm pushed out into reality i get sick with it. it takes me at least 25-30 mg of hydrocodone, codeine or any other analogs to get my "high" and that's just so i can barely tell. i don't take these that often anymore. only when there given, i never buy (my Friend springs for it about once a month).
ill write the rest later i have to go to dinner!

depends on what im doing with my life at the moment. im one of those kind of people where if things arent goin so great with my life then i cant enjoy being high. i think too much.
but other then that the only drug i do nowadays is pot. and it normally just makes me tired and hungry. literally. like i can crack the most gnarish jokes. but yea thatss about it. ihad a horrible time letting go of reality. but i guess thats the good thing. because i didnt become a victimn of evil shit.

Looking back, not a whole lot gained, if anything. And it's unfortunate, because I invested a lot of time, money and years into drugs with high hopes. Mushrooms benefitted me slightly with a fresh perspective on the drug culture as a whole, and how it can be a long, lonely journey with unpleasant endings.
Sobriety is where the real truth lies, but that's impossible to see when you're always on drugs, of course.
So in short, drugs were a complete was of what could have been really good years for me, but instead they were spent in a haze.

Bummer alert! You're bringing us down, man. Chill out and smoke a spliff or something. Jeez, all this talk of wasted years and time and money makes me long for the bong. If you had a good time, then it was not a waste.

Pot: I like the ritual of doing it, the paranoia it brings, the "helmet" around my head, all the ideas I think of while on it, the audio/visual enhancements, many more.....
Shrooms: very spiritual for me, it's my sacrament, and nature is my church
Alcohol: when I feel like being sociable and having a false sense of happiness, I drink
Ecstasy: haven't done this very much, but when I have, I felt like part of a tribe, like Todd said
