I do smoke marijuana because I'm interested in alternate states of conciousness. I find that when I'm under the influence of marijuana I can still concentrate and do most of not all of the things I could do if I weren't - it just opens me up to different and more complex thoughts.
There's a depth within myself that I could reach through the use of mood altering substances but I'm not shooting up everything in my bathroom cabinet to open up my 3rd eye - that's what meditation is for.
After having tried several mood altering substances (most of which I'll never do again) I can say that no 2 people react to any drug in the same manner and what you expect to happen from taking any mood altering substances has the most baring on how you will react to it.
There have been a million different studies that could prove whatever you'd like them to prove about drugs - until you've dropped all your preconceptions and actually tried them then you can't judge the drugs or anyone that does them.
