Well I've kinda managed it with alcohol. Every now and then I have a few drinks to feel better and fall asleep. And it works actually, I feel so happy and carefree. I'll sleep 7-8 hrs without waking or dreaming. Even the next day feels good. Then I don't need it again. Works for the occasional bad night. Definitely helps me in social contexts.
But yeah I see your point about addiction or chasing euphoria. I can't even imagine what other drugs are like, so I guess it's partly curiosity too. Most likely I won't try any hard drugs, I did ask my partner to bring me some cannabis products to try (gummies or edibles, not a smoker).
honestly, I would say there is some "hard drugs" I take which are alot more harmless than alcohol, I know people always think our staple drugs are safe, but trust me, I have nearly died because I swallowed a dozen caffeine pills in an manic-episode
my reason for saying amphetamine made me friendships is that it makes me feel more like myself, I can think better not worse, Im confident and enpathic, it quite honestly seams like the reason Im not alone currently
don't know about cannabis as it has not worked for me this far regardless of how fat the joints I smoke are, but I think that sounds like a good and safe idea!
