As far as I’m aware, there is no possibility of recreational drug usage affecting the user’s DNA.
However, is it conceivable that such use could affect one’s genes, either adversely or otherwise?
By recreational drugs I mean restricted drugs such as ketamine, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD etc.

Recreation drug usage can absolutely damage DNA. Though many of the drugs themselves (the actual chemical that is being sought after for the high) may not cause damage to DNA, the other impurities in the pill/powder due to manufacturing can indeed cause DNA damage or effect the synthesis of DNA. There are many carcinogens in street drugs.
And to clarify…your DNA is your genes.
