Katawa junkies?

Please, don't ask me about the train of thought that led me here, but I was wondering for a bit if the KS girls were to take drugs, which ones would that be?

I thought about the fact that you might find it offensive, but I came to a conclusion that you probably won't. Silentcook would have another idea, but I'll be okay if he'll just delete it outright. Though, if possible, mr. Silentcook, please, do not.
I also want to claim that I never tried any of mentioned substances except weed, and I seriously advise you never to touch them, they are dangerous in their own ways, and any drug (even prescription one) can harm you (except weed, it's most probably safe). Stay away from them. Any of my thoughts came out of other people's experiences from other sites, which I won't post here for a good reason.
Once more, don't do drugs, kids, they are dangerous.
The first thing that came to my mind is Rin smoking weed. Yeah, that's cliche. But to think of it I really imagine Rin smoking weed with Emi. It leaves you spacey, disoriented with lots of either body load or head space, both giving her more experience to capture onto the canvas. Strangely, I don't see her doing psychedelics, the surrounding world is quite psychedelic for her, and it also can be quite dangerous if she catches herself into mind loop resulting in getting severe case of schizophrenia. Other drugs are impossible too, but for other reason - she is not social enough to get them, and her only sourcer would be Emi.
Continuing with Emi, as I said before, I see her trying weed. It's logical, she needs a painkiller (opiates aren't for her, they are very dangerous and sedating effect can hinder her daily sports life a lot), an anti-depressant and a sleep-aid. Weed can serve as all of those, if used responsibly. I also see her trying some random drug with a nasty comedown (most probably ecstasy) and quitting right away. Don't think she'll try anything else, she's reckless, yes, but she also has common sense, and is healthy and fit. She is also the only girl that won't suffer anyhow from drug use.
Hanako has almost no pharmaceutical or natural options - she would definitely take anxiety-controlling benzodiazepines, like Xanax. She would be outright severed from the world of reason with pretty much anything else. And she won't try weed, I guess, since she won't get any (just HOW? Imagine that), and benzos are prescription medicines. She will most probably have problems with withdrawal from those pills, but I see that she will quit them and overcome her anxiety by herself at some point.
I clearly see Lilly jumping from nothing to prescription opiates like Tramadol, justifying it with some random crap like fake pains. She is very well-mannered girl, so it, like with Hanako, leaves only prescription medicines for her too. Her addiction likelihood is through the roof, opiates are extremely euphoric and sedative, I just can't do anything, but I see her parachuting pills with some tea, and the next course of events depends on Hisao, with him she comes through withdrawal and quits, without him she slowly degenerates and dies from asphyxiation.
Shizune would probably try most non-harmful drugs, since she will have guts both to get them and to try them out. She would be genuinely interested in hearing-altering drugs (these do exist probably and I don't know what do they do with people with no concept of sound, since they affect one's brain, not ears). I think she will try most of them, yet no more than once or twice, then quit them because drugs suck.
And looking at how does Misha behave for the whole game I can't see her doing anything besides some weird stimulating empathogenic shit she can get from Shizune, like 2cb. Not ecstasy, because she doesn't love everyone, she just laughs and laughs and then comes out depressed (yet still smiling) and awkwardly wanting to mate in the end.
