You are my favourite drug Auzgurl 

alcohol causes the most damage to our society. It is also the most used.

Reduce the damage, legalise them all.

mozzoak, I think love is the most powerful drug there is, you are defintely onto something there.Love has made sane pple do crazy things


Sprint alcohol is the biggest problem out there ..but as to the damage it has the potential to cause, I think this comes down to education of teens as our next generation of drinkers.

A glass of red is very good for you but 4 bottles of red is overstating that a bit so, it really comes down to knowing what is healthy and whats not.

I intend to teach mine to drink responsibly so they know theyre limits and hopefully they can apply that as they grow into adults.

Its the alcohol/car/ramped up drunks scenario that most scares me.

Yes and there are drugs out there which can superficially mimic that feeling.
There's so many drugs out there nowadays that it must be an absolute nightmare for parents of kids coming into that experimentation stage.

When I was a kid, a group of us somehow got the idea that the inside strips of banana skins could be dried out and smoked to give a buzz. That was an hilarious situation when we all suddenly started eating lots of bananas. The parents were happy that we were at last eating some fruit, but also quite suspicious.
I thought it was a bit of bs, but I still waited to see what it did to my friends before trying it myself. I didn't see any effects, or feel any when I tried it. As it turns out, there might've been quite a bit of truth in that rumour.

Kids these days have a lot more information on hand to get an idea of what works, what doesn't, the dosage required..etc.
What they need to be mindful of is the adverse effects that may be caused by a simple experiment, even though their motives may be true.
But there won't be any stoppage of risk taking. They'll do it regardless....hopefully.i

A couple of other weird ones that I've heard of are:

Nutmeg - take a couple of spoonfuls and about 6 hours later, you'll be off your nut Meg.

Wasps and hornets - I think they dry and crush them, then eat them.
May cause bad internal swelling though  

I doubt if you're going to stop kids from experimenting in anything if they are that way inclined, but if they really have to, they should be encouraged to do their own research before trying it out.

And I think that parents should do some research on what their kids may be up to now, and not just think back to what they did at that age.

After dropping acid, shooting up speed and ectasy eating magic mushies and smoking pot for 2 years, then being hopelessly addicted to heroin for 3 years while indulging in cocaine, ice, pot, prescription pills and more ecstacy,
I have to say being totaly drug free (6 years) walking into my own house and being a father and a husband is the best drug I have ever known.
So yes "love is the drug for me"!

Vegemite???? WTF
