Just for informational purposes...

http://ecstasy.org/qanda/index.html (overall list)> I would worry that continued use of drugs to artificially heighten your mood would exacerbate your depression by a contrast effect (when the drug wears off, you will likely be more depressed than you started). I hope this doesn't sound "preachy," but just is something to ponder.
Cindy, that's a rational concern but also does sound moralistic. We don't know that Greg is referring to 'continual use' or what 'continual' means (and one would become tolerant to frequent use), nor do we know that it would be used specifically to modify mood -- as an 'antidepressant.' Further your warning could apply to clinical antidepressants themselves.
I was just waiting to see a response of pop morality appear absent an answer to one of these questions.
Well, better get back to frying some eggs...
