Not condoning, encouraging or contemplating - simply curious - Has anyone here used illegal subtances? how did they affect you and your illness?

As I say, I'm neither condoning nor contemplating their use, I simply am curious about what affect they have on a bipolar mind. Sorry if this type of post isn't allowed.

I'm specifically interested in the affects of Psychedelics (DMT, LSD, Shrooms etc.), MDMA (Ecstasy/Molly) and Marijuana, but would love to hear any stories about any other substances (including legal ones like alcohol).
