Would You be Tempted to try Drugs if They Were Legalized?

I think most people who get busted for drugs (personal use type situations) end up in that position secondarily, after stupidly getting caught breaking some other law while in possession of drugs.
Unless you're a high level dealer who's being watched, I don't think a person should have any concern about whether they'll get busted for smoking a joint or something in their basement.

Personally, I think people that use legality as their sole excuse for not doing drugs are actually more afraid/unsure of the drug itself than they are of possible legal consequences. I don't think most functional, intelligent people really think their chances of getting busted are anywhere near as high as let on.

Lol, one of the reasons I stopped smoking was because of how paranoid I got after I'd taken the first hit. Before the THC hits it's cool, but after...

Not for me, no. I've been around it many of times and they have asked me if I'd be interested, and I guess I'm just not. I've seen people under the influence and it doesn't look like anything I want to be involved with. I like stimulation. Whether it be through music, fragrances, or food. That's good enough for me. I also think it would set a new bar for stimulation, and everything else would almost be boring in comparison. All I ever hear from a friend of a friend, "dude this song would sound insane on weed".

I feel the same way.

Though, I've always been curious about LSD.

I've never tried it but it's supposed to be pretty safe if you don't do anything stupid like drive.

It depends entirely on the person. There was a massacre in my town in the 70s when somebody slipped it into a man's drink at the pub. He said he was going hunting, then went out and murdered seven people with a shotgun. It sounds like an urban legend, but it's well documented in the town's history, and I even know some of the family members of the man who did it.

I am going to try LSD next month, and it is illegal. I smoke marijuana on regular basis and it is illegal. Legality has nothing to do with it.

I may try marijuana once, but only when I get to college (that is if it's legalized before I graduate - which it probably won't).

That's really exciting! Do you know what form you're taking it in?

On topic of the thread, I disagree that legality has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't try crack if it was legalized, but at the same time, I might not have tried marijuana during my rebellious stage if it wasn't illegal. ****, I probably would have tried crack.

For the drugs I've done, the legality doesn't really bother me. My 'fear of getting caught' falls more towards my parents/friends parents etc catching me. I think if marijuana or shrooms or LSD were legalized, my parents still wouldn't want me doing it.

Also, I wouldn't do meth or heroine if it was legal. Because I'm not an idiot.
