exist for a reason.
They exist because they have seen so many of their own family and friends whose bodies cannot seem to tolerate what you say yours can.
They exist because they have suffered from or seen abuse, neglect, murder, and all other kinds of mistreatment that man can inflict upon man due to addiction.
So "euphoriaphobes" as you call them are not afraid of altered states per se, they are afraid of what addiction does to people. Another way to phrase your question could be "what exactly is "normal"...
Statistics show that what you say you experience (no addiction) is NOT the "norm".
You might want to ask if there is anything wrong with being the "exception to the norm"...
does that help?
