    It's not so simple. Establishing intelligence is something that we still can't do, even with the help of diagnostic tests created by specialists. Someone mentioned "drugs" is a nebulous term... Intelligence is an umbrella term, a vagary that literally refers to nearly a dozen properties of the human brain and how it operates at peak performance To establish all these qualities in one human being, operating at a level that is said to be "Intelligent"(which is a frighteningly loose term, open to individual interpretation.) and to discover their opinion on drugs... Even in doing that you will still come under heavy fire for hundreds of reasons, not the smallest being that there may be no connection between the two whatsoever.

    One person may advocate the use of drugs in expanding the mind and consciousness. One might deem that their ill effects on health are not worth the supposed mental benefits. Another might not care one way or the other and just like getting high. All three of these stances may possibly be assumed by a supposedly intelligent person motivated by different impelling circumstances and morals.
