Would You be Tempted to try Drugs if They Were Legalized?

It's probably more harmful than a third of them though, haha.

It all depends on how you're prolonging your waking hours.

True that and true that!

Soda and sugar work well for a while, but there is always a crash. 5 hour energy works wonders. To be taken... Well every five hours. You could also do speed if you want, but I've personally not tried that. Most times I stay up a night though isn't for fun. I have severe insomnia some nights and others I can sleep for 14 plus hours.

But yeah, if I lived in California I'd probably get a prescription for cannibis to help me sleep. And it's a legit medical issue too. Lol. While I'm back here at home though... Well you know, the parents

It's easier than you could imagine if you have the money. Legit medical excuse or not.

I generally prefer to go through life sober actually. When it comes to drugs like cocaine, amphetamine, LSD, shrooms, opiates and so on, I simply don't want to do them, legality doesn't even have enter into it, so the answer is no.

Maybe the answer would've been different had I been asked 15 years ago. If illegal drugs suddenly become legal, I think teenagers is the age group which is generally gonna be affected - or where new users of the drugs are gonna be recruited at least. As you grow up, you get to know yourself, your limits and your groove in life. I doubt many relatively drug free 40 year olds are suddenly going to start sniffing coke if it's legalized (and would probably say no in this poll). I think chances are higher that teenagers will experiment with it though.

yeah I could careless if drugs were legalized.

I have no desire to put those substances into my body.

I agree with everything you said Tore.

I will always partake in alcohol though

but anything else is just a big no no for me.

No, I wouldn't, but it has nothing to do with legality or any of that social 'stigma'. Maybe if it were legal (and hence more widespread), I might have been tempted often enough to give it a go. But...just personal preference really - answer is No with a little bit in the 'unsure' category.

Although with the many case studies of DMT in particular...makes me wonder, what the hell are those elves doing in almost all the experiences!

My main curiosity with drugs seems to be the stuff you can learn about the human brain (and nervous system).

And I think people could only put "too late" if they've tried practically every mainstream illegal substance.

The "too late" option is for those who've already tried drugs and to whom the main question doesn't fundamentally apply. It doesn't mention anything about having tried every drug. Judging by what's clearly obvious in your post, you should understand and agree with the concept that some folks may not want to do certain drugs for other reasons than their legal status.

The first post is answered by the second. I put the 'too late' option for anyone who's done ANY drug, not necessarily all of them. TBH, I seriously doubt anyone COULD do ALL the drugs it were possible to take.

LSD is pretty weird. I've done it a few times and it seemed like the walls kept cracking up/changing colour/moving in weird ways like a bad lava lamp. I also found everything really funny and couldn't walk properly. Didn't help I was listening to dance music either- the fast tempos made the effects of the acid come on even more quickly. I spent most of the night babbling about how I felt in touch with the cosmos.

Made the mistake of going for pizza, only to find myself walking on the main road infront of a police car. Luckily it was dark, and he didn't spot my dinnerplate eye pupils.

Curiously LSD and cocaine were both originally used as medical tools. LSD found use in experiments in the 60s in psychiatric medicine and also in CIA interrogation practice. Cocaine was, for a long time, recommended to patients by their doctors for pain relief.

I've heard of a couple people that simply payed the fee, which I'm assuming is around $100-$200, which really isn't a ridiculous amount. If I were old enough and away from my parents, I definitely would get a prescription. Like Conan, I also could use something rather than sleeping pills, to help me sleep.
