Sherlock Holmes has always been his own best lab rat. That is, until John Watson moves in.
(Could be taken as John freaking out at Sherlock testing dangerous things on himself, Sherlock randomly using John as a lab rat without his knowledge, or a combination whereby John is so concerned over the things Sherlock is doing to himself, he offers to let himself be used as a test subject in Sherlock's place.)
Sherlock had not expected much when he decided to share digs with John Watson. He needed someone to share the rent and the man knew how to stay quiet so he didn't have to worry about unnecessary conversation. The man was above average when it came to intelligence but unfortunately he was still a idiot in comparison to Sherlock himself. When the man started accompanying him on cases it was a added bonus. Yes there were many advantages to having John around

It is always more sensible, and accurate, to have an experimental subject who is not oneself. Sherlock had oft discovered the dangers of gathering data on drug use while he himself is under the influence. It irrevocably skews the results and imprecise results is just something Sherlock cannot stand for.
John is the perfect experimental subject. He does not expose himself to any unnecessary pharmaceuticals, he is physically fit and his diet is largely representative of the general English population. He is however, disappointingly hesitant, which Sherlock finds exasperating. It is has a simple solution of course, he simply does not tell John he is an experimental subject, there was something to be said after all, for a blind test. Sherlock merely needed to take into account the exponential growth of John's paranoia, lest it influence his results.
Let base paranoia level = 2
First experiment: ecstasy.
Experimental notes: Subject first experiences mild nausea and drowsiness approximately 40 minutes after consuming the test

This is now my head-canon.
John was doing better then he thought. Really a man of his height and weight-
Was that a compliment, Sherlock?!
