Drug Use Question

[SimonDoom]

What do you all think? Do I need to veto my characters?

Go with your gut, your first impulse, and let your characters cut loose, rather than trying to rein them in. The story probably will feel more natural that way. I'll check it out. "Shy librarian gone wild" works for me every time.

As we're necroing threads, here's one I started almost twenty years ago, in the days when you could post polls.

I said then, and still say, I don't put drug use into my stories, because I never found any drug (I did a lot of drugs) that made sex better for me. For some reason, women seem to like weed for sex more than men do -- but it makes the women I've been with kind of passive. So I guess it makes them enjoy it more, but certainly not perform better.

There's no such thing as an illegal drug, at least not in the U.S.

I'll necro this thread rather than create my own because the answers above make it clear that I can. My question is more about if I should.

There's a mantra on this board that you should be willing to allow your characters to surprise you. My story thus far goes as follows.

Shy librarian, after weeks of being particularly grumpy, is told by friends that she needs to 'Go out and get laid'.
She takes this to heart and makes arrangements - booking a hotel room in a nearby city and researching appropriately high-class clubs to go to.
She meets a suave older guy in a business suit and quickly invites him back to her room.
As they start to make out, she has second thoughts and becomes nervous. He says "Are you sure you want to do this."
She basically says "Yes, I want to do something exciting and out of character."

At which point the characters take over...

He says "Well in that case, how about this..." and pulls out a bag of white powder.
She is shocked.
He says "Nevermind"
Twenty seconds later she says..."Actually."

Me as the author is looking on and saying "Are you sure this is wise?"

On the one hand it doesn't fundamentally change the story - instead of having wild orgasmic sex they have wild orgasmic drug-fueled sex. On the other hand, it kind of does change the story because her waking up in the morning and going "That was great. I need to do it again next weekend." is going to hit differently.

What do you all think? Do I need to veto my characters?
