"Drugs" covers a huge range of substances with wildly-varying effects. Speaking of IQ, there is even a specific branch of drugs lumped into the category of "nootropics" - cognitive enhancers. Some are legal, some are banned, and some are legal via prescription, but all are "drugs."

But in any case, why would you trust big-government to dictate to you what you may or may not ingest? Do you really think that the US federal government is a wise and impartial party in these matters?

People with higher IQs are more open and curious.

Study Links High Childhood IQ To Illegal Drug Use
The word illegal is garbage. The government doesn't own your body, it should have no say on what you put into it.
The "legal" drug use has exploded but because a doctor gives the okay that somehow makes it better.

They are criminals because they put something into their body, period. They harm no one yet the benevolent hand of government has decided if you don't have a prescription you are a bad person.
The war on drugs is a failure that unfairly targets inner city minorities. Not harming anyone yet they get fined and go to jail.
People who advocate jail time because someone uses drugs and brings no harm to anyone and doesn't violate anyones rights are nothing more than control freaks who love to use force to get their way.

I seriously doubt many with high IQ really want to destroy their gift, and I've never met an especially intelligent drug addict.

Kick in the door of a crack house and I doubt you're going to find a MENSA meeting going on in there.

Manson was, and is a madman.

He became God while on acid.
And James Watson discovered the double helix structure of DNA while on acid. Big whoop.
