Yep here I am.

I agree all things in moderation. In my early 20's (I'm nowhere near them now) I did tons of acid, X, mushrooms, meth. Basically I did everything except H. In all that I've seen, I'd say in order of danger.

1. Meth
2. Alcohol
3. X
4. LSD
5. Soda
6. Mushrooms
7. Weed

I've seen the worst in people when they've been up for days on Meth.
Aside from that Alcohol seems to have the worst effect when used on a regular basis, with X close behind. The biggest problem with alcohol is that it is socially accepted as the norm.

I tried marijuana twice and both times literally turned a light shade of green, threw up and felt all paranoid. Drank maybe 4 times; last time I touched alcohol was 1995; just cant deal with the taste and though being buzzed was nice I don't like being so drunk I don't know what's happening. 2nd time I drank I got plastered off tequila. I ended up laying out in the rain with my "friends" shoving big frogs in my mouth lol. The next day my mom made me work in the yard all day. Maybe the worst day ever for me.

I did love doing acid; already told some stories so I won't bother again. Haven't done it since 2000 and probably never will again. I tend to like to stay in control so drugs and alcohol jut really aren't my thing; plus the expense, damage to the body and taste of it; i.e. alcohol and marijuana.

I'd just like to say that alcoholics are no real different to drug users IMO, i've grew up watching drunk people in my family. And i have to tell you alcoholics are vicious people at times.

I mean how many times do we read/see alcoholics beating up there wives/kids, smashing up there houses ? killing people in cars ? having punch ups in pubs ? causing trouble ?

Its also destroys people's lives because they find it incredibly tough, to give up on drink. Just like serious drug users do, and i've seen people in my family piss there life down the kermit on drink.

I've honestly never understood how alcohol was made legal. Marijuana should be legal before alcohol; for the reasons ICB mentioned. Guess all the politicians love a good drink so it's ok.

Funny you go to ball games; get drunk, then go crash your car and kill people. But they keep putting up Don't Drink and Drive signs and billboards which is so absurd to me. I just don't understand it tbh. Of course I don't drink so I wouldn't

I can honestly say, every bad mistake I have made or regret I have are due to alcohol. It can be a great thing, but in the wrong hands it can ruin lives

Same here.

Like Legion says, it's amazing that alcohol is even legal considering all of the burden that comes along with it; especially when in the hands of people who just don't know how to control it.

Which is most of the people who buy it.

Yes; that one apparently flew so far over my head an Air Traffic Control tower wouldn't have helped me

This is a documentary done, ranking the dangers of the 20 most commonly used drugs in the UK and hence trying to give a better ranking for drug classes.

If the government followed these regulations, ecstasy would become legallised or class C, while alcohol would become class A. That definitely follows my experiences with these drugs, it really bothers me that people with no experience with any of these substances control the regulation of them. Let alone the propaganda that they spew out constantly.

I agree with Big H, i'd much rather be in a club full of pingers than drunks. Worst case scenario in the pingers club is you get hugged, worst case in a club of drunks you get king hit.

Im 50/50 on it.
It would have originally been to take control and the dollar back off the mob wouldnt it?

Im all for legalizing everything and sending them to the wall once and for all but
they would go further into human trade ,protection extortion and kidnapping though so I suppose it keeps them occupied and off the innocents backs to an extent.
