Im not necessarily advocating drug use here, just opening a forum on recent metastudies by professor Nutt (yes his real name). You can argue he has a slight agenda (rescheduling) but his studies are based on straight science, multiple multiple studies compiled.
It might be a surprise to some people, maybe less with this well educated forum, that Nicotine and Alcohol are worse on the body and mind then many drugs society has grown to except as very bad for you. I guess it is of great interest to me because Im simply getting sick of alcohol, it simply has at least as many negative effects as positive. Its still astounds me to this day how ubiquitous it is, with all the DUIs, crime, depression, etc.
SWIM (someone who isnt me, for the unaware), finds low doses of ecstasy to have at least all of the good effects of alcohol, and then much more. SWIM thinks that their is a misperception with the drug brought on by people taking high doses, saucer eyes, and dancing a fool. This can be fun in the right setting, but low doses have been found by SWIM to be awesome for having a good time and especially picking up girls. The right amount is feeling great, but low enough that anyone other than an astute observer will be none the wiser.
I guess I can understand why things in the chart are illegal while others aren't, it could be an ugly can of worms when people find out that the gov't is not honest about the relative dangers of things.
Just watched a documentary on TWA 800, if you think the gov't is always a purveyor of truth, this is just one quagmire that will shock you.
I completely respect and even admire people who will not put anything in their bodies, it just seems incredibly sheeplike to say "drugs are bad", and then that person proceeds to drink themselves into memory loss.
