Yeah, plus the fact that it is physically impossible to OD on LSD. I mean you can overdose on fucking aspirin, but not LSD. And yet it's treated as a class A drug in the UK. Spastics. thought i would go on with the +18 for a drug like LSD. i did acid just once, last year. i was 14, and i had a fucking amazing experience, but even in that state i could understand i was too young to be doing something like that. |

The problem with age limits is they are so fucking arbitary. Take it from me as a 24 year old, just over a week away from turning 25. I felt no different at 16 than 18. And not all that different at 21 from 18. The thing is, different people mature at different ages and arbitary age limits are fucking bullshit. |

Going past illegality for a moment, what about drugs for medicinal purposes? Say in the case of marajuana used to replace drugs like morphine, which been opiate based and can be highly addictive users can eventually build up a tolerance to it. I think it can have a place for pain relieval over morphine, if governments were more likely to allow research with it than what has already been done. Thoughts? |

A lot of artists used recreational drugs as a means of inspiration and new experience too. Van Gogh, for a major example. |

i think that this is where i shock you all...well maybe.
Personally i try and avoid most medical drugs, including asprin and paracitemol... simply because i think they are far to over used in the modern world and the more you use them the less the effect they have as your body builds up a resistance to it. |
I hate it when people see me at the supermarket and they are like: Hey, what are you doing here? and im just like: Oh you know, hunting elephants |

That pretty much goes for most medical drugs that fight viruses. People feel the need to be dosed up on drugs for even the tiniest ailment, thus creating a rather worrying situation with superbugs. |

On drugs: almost everyone I know has smoked weed at least once (hey, we're Dutch, we have to, hehe), but that's not a big deal. Most of the people I know that moved on to hard stuff though dropped out of high school and became antisocial retards that almost everyone pities. That said, I have never smoked weed, snorted coke or done anything of the sort.
