If drugs had no dangerous side effects, would you consider taking them?

My question has to do with this:
besides addiction and the deterioration of behaviour, anyway the anti-social aspects and the degradation of health, drug consumption has other arguably negative aspects.
Many drugs change your insight, alter your emotions, grant you a way of escaping reality. So, to further give context to my impeach, would you see as positive the use of drugs as a way of escaping reality (or changing your inner reality), whether there was no instant danger? Such a (hypothetical) drug has been described in literature, like in Huxley's brave New World where people consume soma a drug with apparently no side effects, that the government uses as a way controlling people, by giving them instant relief, when they feel depressed or sad or pain in any way.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma conclusion: wouldn't such a drug be a way of just not facing what is wrong with you and the world? Or would you see it as something good, to ease the hurting, to expand your intellect or to help you cope with suffering?
I probably would, but probably in the same way I use alcohol - very rarely, only in social situations and only for occasional fun. I have always been rather terrified by the aspect of needing something tangible (other than air, water and food) in order to have fun, deal with life or operate normally, which is why I shy away from psychoactive substances in general, be they legal or not. Even if they weren't physically addictive, it's the intellectual addiction that would frighten me. Like being addicted to a person or activity or thing. It's just as bad, if not worse than physical addiction.
As for the reality altering aspect - I would be tempted. I'm a dreamer and sometimes the real world scares me. But in the end, I figure I'd say no. The experience of drugs is probably soothing and often wonderful, but I don't think I'd be willing to give up my full spectrum of feeling, from elation to despair, for the chance to escape. I'd feel like I was giving up my humanity.
So, in reply to your impeach, I might consider trying them, but not using them (regularly). Hope this helps.
absolutely not. I would rather feast on the Word of God, its more fan
Okay, so let's say there is such a drug as you have suggested. I think that it really depends on how you use the drug. Whether people are using it whenever they are feeling sad or pain in someway, then that is abusing the drug. because they are not facing their problems they are letting society control them, and like in the book brave New World everyone is just going to be a senseless drone consenting with society's and the government's demands. (more so than people are now. So let's say pot has no bad side effects what so ever, I wouldn't be opposed to doing it every once and a while.
Why is this in the Anthropology section?
