Sorry, I just used the generic term for illegal. I lived on a rez so Peyote was a religious rights issue. Crack & meth really have no use in society at all and the damage I've seen still gives me nightmares. Plus, meth is actually a physical danger to those around the maker. Unrefined cocaine leaves are used as an altitude aid, so I really cannot say much bad there (refined cocaine users are a problem).

I don't think I've ever encountered a shroom user and I'm fine with studies. I really don't like MJ because it does ruin people's lives around here, but I get the legalization (well, sorta, kinda legal) and I guess some people can handle it fine putting in the same boat as alcohol for me. I'm a bit perturbed because we just got smoking down and now something that smells worse is here. I was hoping people would flock to some vaping solution[1], but we got smokers who can cause a contact high. As a North Dakotan who remembers some history, I look forward to hemp being grown again in the northern plains.

I live in a place where people have stolen hand soap and drained air conditioners to get a buzz, so please forgive my default is "not good".

1) whatever idiot thought e-cigarette was a good name should be held to ridicule.
