Pain killers ALWAY have tolerance. ALWAYS. Taking more and more or swiching to stronger stuff is something that cannot be called "fun" Oh no.
I agree re: painkillers. The whole purpose of pain (other than what we kinksters use it for) is to warn you when your body might suffer damage so you limit that damage. IE: if you feel a burning pain, you may tend to pull your hand back up off the stove element. That's the reason for the pain.

If we take painkillers--even mild ones, we've effectively disabled that warning system--or at least modified the stimulus, so we are less likely to know where our limits are. That could be dangerous.

IMO if you take other types of drugs, i.e. recreational types, there is nothing wrong with some play--as long as the dominant partner is sober and in control, and as long as you aren't involving yourself in physical practices that you are required to monitor your limits. For example, physical punishment or very strenuous bondage would not be a good idea. A little mental domination or light bondage can be amazing when combined with your favourite treat. For obvious reasons I wouldn't ever recommend hard drugs and certainly play time is no time to experiment.

As an aside, I want to point out that some of the feelings I get from bdsm rival any drug i've ever taken--with no side effects, save for a few red marks, lol.
