    Have you ever taken illegal drugs? POLL (anon)
    I thought it'd be interesting to see what your attitudes and practices relating to drugs are, so I've made a little poll.

    I would expect that quite a number (perhaps a majority) had taken class B drugs, considering what people have said on previous threads regarding cannabis. Please tick all that apply.

    If you're not sure about classes, here's a rough guide:

    Class A includes heroin, cocaine, crack, MDMA ("ecstasy"), methamphetamine, LSD and psilocybin mushrooms.

    Class B includes amphetamine, cannabis, codeine, and methylphenidate.

    Class C includes GHB, ketamine, diazepam, flunitrazepam and most other tranquillisers, sleeping tablets and benzodiazepines as well as anabolic steroids.

    I haven't.

    I'm guessing most people will have tried cannabis at some point. It's the safest and most readily available drug there is (that's illegal).
    Whether people do it on a regular basis though ... that's what separates the curious and the druggies.

    None.

    Suprised GHB and Ketamine are class C, and LSD, DMT, Ecstacy ... aren't.

    Life is about living, get some good experiences and it will make you a more round person. But that doesn't mean go a drug bender, just some simple experiences.

    I am really very unsurprised considering how illogical drugs policy is in this country

    Oh, forgot to add Methoxetamine and ketamine, often forget about the dissociative class. Very very intriguing little set of chemicals, NMDA antagonists have a lot of individual character.

    Oh #2, forgot methylphenidate, levoamphetamine, kratom and ayahuasca

    Oh #3, pretty sickened by my list

    weed a few times (literally)

    A cocktail of legal drugs that landed me in A and E.

    Diazepam, but I was legally prescribed that. Can understand why you'd want to dive in to that pool though *winkedy wink*.

    Why?
    Boredom, experimental stage, all the usual reasons. Big scene at my school, and nothing else to do.

    Re: Have you ever taken illegal drugs? POLL (anon)
    Very infrequent drug dabbling out of intrest.
    Magic Mushrooms a few times. MDMA a few times. Yet I dont smoke weed, which some people find strange as they think its just, idk, a "drug persons" bread and butter haha!

    Also OP, not to piss on your bonfire but I feel having a list of "types" of drugs gives more info than the class system.
    I mean maby 90% of the people who clicked class B are talking about Cannabis as aposed to speed? Idk, I just feels a thread of "What illegal drugs have you taken?" and list the most commen would be more intresting.
