What does everyone here think about recreational drug use?

[quzar]

You guys took what i said wrong. I said What i meant was, he said for lsd is people could commit suicide and people have done that on acid too. I never said anything about LSD kills or acid doesn't and stuff. My bro has been to jail because of drugs, i no enough to get by. Personally pot and lsd should be legalized.
I'm more of a pot fan though

Except the point was that LSD IS acid. Acid is just slang for LSD. Also, I had missed your comment about staying awake too long. When I went to MagFest 06 I ended up staying away for about 100 hours (and my sleep prior to that had only been 4 or so hours a night for a few nights). I was hallucinating, the same way you do when you're tripping, only with the visual effects though, there was no other synthesasia (sic?).

If I was a schoolroom teacher and I said to my students "Please stay inside the classroom today," they would probaly stay inside and not go out. Now, if I said, "Don't go outside," chances are they would get curious and want to go outside. Thats pretty much how it is with most things. If the government says no, you have a greater chance of wanting it. Now, if the government said that it was a bad idea to have marijuana, but it was not illegal, you could expect that not everyone would use it, that the people who were willing to accept the risks and responsibilities of using it would use it legally, and that there would not have to be any blackmarkets or illegal selling of it. It seems that everyone would win if it was legallized as a recreational drug, and that there were still certain limitations such as driving under the influence of it.

LSD is one of the most potent drugs ever discovered, with average doses equaling 300 to 500 micrograms. That's equal to one-tenth the mass of a grain of sand, which is DAMN small.

It's also an incredibly fragile molecule. It needs to be stored in clean water (not tap, since there are contaminants in it) in the refrigerator. So it is IMPOSSIBLE for trace amounts of LSD to be able to manfest and cause a flashback, especially with the humid, warm climate of the body.

umm... the average dosage of LSD is somewhere between 100 and 200 micrograms. 300 would have been a high dose in the 70's nowadays you don't get doses anywhere near that high. Considering that you can hallucinate from as little as 25micrograms, that makes sense

I believe lethal dose esttimates for LSD are around 1 gram.
Let us not forget that hemp is also illegal because of the competition it posed to synthetic fibers...
Heroin is the devil and should never be legalized,same with meth.
Have lost several friends to those two
Not dead but gone...spiritually.
Drugs do not necessarily enhance thought but maybe give you a different perspective which may enable abstractions which were not possible in the previous thought state.
Stay away from herion,cigs,meth,coke and excessive alchohol.LSD can be very psychologicaly unsettling but that's about the worst thing you have to face from that.
Quzar obviously knows what he is talking about,
much respect!!
Simple fact is you should be truly educated about what you put in your body EVEN FOOD!
Let food be thy medicine

I gave up drugs. And im better off without them.
Things have gotten so much better since i've been drug free. I can think so much more clearly now.
I look back on the person I was, And the person I am now. And only regret that I didnt quit sooner.

Look if countries wanted to stop illegal drug usage of hard core illicit drugs such as heroin, Cocaine, Crack, Meth.. etc. all they have to do is make a decent percentage of the drugs "Hot" dosages.. or laced with something lethal. That way, no one "uses" that particular drug except the people that want to die. The drugs loose their "chic" image and Drug usages will plummit due to people not wanting to die on their first try. If you want proof of this theory, how come people dont eat rat poison for a high? 'nuff said.

As for my opinion on drugs: I believe it is a persons choice.. just as anything in life. But this doesnt mean that I dont want people to be educated about the real side effects of drugs. I really dont care if people smoke some pot on the side, If thats their perogative. Elaborating on one of the previous posts.. I too have lost one of my best friends spiritually from Meth and it was sad to see him go. I moved away for a few years during high school where we were best friends and now he's just an empty shell. Some could possibly say that his use of recreational drugs could have been a contributing factor just as the downfall of many of my friends that did recreational drugs in their teens and ended up moving up to more hardcore drugs. But then the argument that I used marijuana once or twice and I turned out fine for the most part could also be said.

Drugs are a money maker for both sides.. you have the dealers and pushers working their part.. and you have the government working theirs (more cops, keeps existing ones employed, social programs for rehab and politicians running campains to help stop drug usage). Both sides love their money.. and if drug usage wasnt a problem, who would be loosing more in all of this? So as far as that is concerned I dont see anything in the future to deter more people from using them other than cracked out actors making eggs showing your brain on drugs.


So.. now that i have just wrecked any future political career that I might have had. i'll let all of you flame me for being an extremist.

Your point is good enough, except that that would mean the government would be supplying the drugs directly, which would be illegal. Not to mention the moral ramifications of the government saying "yea, we've poisoned 50% of it". People don't eat rat poison for a high because it doesn't get you high. A PERFECT analogy would be 'you don't see people drinking denatured alcohol'. Anything that has alcohol in it that is not meant to be consumed has poison in it to prevent people from drinking it and avoiding the extremely high vice taxes on drinking alcohol. That however is the government forcing something legal not intended for consumption to be made specifically so that people don't use it. Also, if ya'll didn't know, that's where the going blind from moonshine thing comes from, as many moonshiners in order to increase the alcohol content without the added still time would simply dump some denatured alcohol into their mash.
