Stronger than anything you can buy on the street. :D

You kid, but it's quite easy to get a DXM (dextromethorphan, spelling?) high off of cough syrup. Robotussin has the highest concentration. One bottle is enough to do it.
I snagged a 4 oz of Robo Max Strength cough for 354 mg of DXM HBr working out to a 2nd plateau trip for a 140 lb person.

I regret it.

I was with one of my friends on a camping trip when he was on Robo once. He started trying to eat a bush, which was amusing at first, but I had to pull him away when he moved on to a poison ivy vine. Then he started yelling at me in German, then Chinese. Funny thing is, he's French/American and doesn't speak either German or Chinese but he started repeating just about every word he's ever heard in both languages.

Datura. I can't believe that's not on the list.

I was thinking about mentionig that. Then I realized at least people who are insane enough to do jimsons weed aren't likely to be as randomly violent as someone on a PCP binge.

OxyContin isn't even close to H, as far as I know. I've done oxy, liked it, but from what I've heard/read about, H is about 1000x stronger.

As for the worst drug for you physically I would have to say DXM, the stuff in Robotussin. It's much worse than most people thing just because its legal. Also if you do X alot, you can get some very very bad side effects.

DXM isn't bad for you if you don't abuse it.

Alcohol kills more people per year than any of them, so that's what I chose.

That said... :beer::D:beer:

The worst drug is probably wet ill: embalming fluid + weed. Naaaasty stuff. It's apparently one of the best drug experience ever,but you basically go insane after one use and forget about your sanity if you start doing it more.
Datura seems pretty nasty too, although it's less of a drug that's poisonous and more of a poison that makes you hallucinate.

WTF? Pot laced with formaldehyde? Yeah, that sounds great alright. Cocoa Puffs or something is one thing, but that's just nuts....

I voted for heroin, although crack has to be right up there with it.

Crack, because it was target-marketed to poor black areas. It set American race relations back 40 years. It made criminals out a whole generation of young people who might have done all right otherwise. The crack epidemic caused so much crime it became almost impossible to run businesses in poor black neighborhoods, and the resulting lack of decent jobs/role models just made everything worse.

Drugs like heroin or crank destroy individuals; crack destroyed entire neighborhoods.

Alcohol, tobacco, and crack have had the biggest negative impact on my family. Stupidity and violence have been biggies in my family too.

That can be said about almost anything. However when you do abuse DXM or X, there are horrible side effects

I've heard of the keif off of marijuana being dissolved in ethanol and mainlined. Pretty much anything can be injected i suppose.

My sister drank formaldehyde a couple years ago. She was so wacked out that she was strapped to a bed in an mental hospital for over a month...

Heroin, Meth and Crack are all up there as far as I'm concerned, but I can only choose one. All are absurdly addictive, incredibly potent, and a sure fire way to end your life. PCP is pretty damn bad too.

Cocaine and LSD are pretty bad, but not nearly as addicitve or killer as the above.

It doesnt seem like we know enough about ecstasy to say how much of a killer it is, but people do die off of it. I've done it once, "done it" while on it, and I cant ever imagine topping that feeling so I see no point it trying it again.

Shrooms make you feel all loopy, similar to MJ but still not something you want to do all the time.

Alcohol and Marijuana cause some problems due to the sheer amount of people that partake in usage, but above the two mentioned, alcohol is by far the worst. A little alcohol here or there never hurt anyone, but its when people get totally sh*tfaced that it becomes a problem. You really shouldnt be driving on either of them, but the difference is when youre drunk, youre too wasted to know any better, but if youre high you really do. Those who havent tried it cannot grasp this distinction, but when youre high, you still really do know whats going on around you. Youre impaired for sure, but the difference between right and wrong doesnt change like it does with alcohol.

That being said, I'm gonna go smoke a few cigarettes and drink a gallon of coffee, pop two allegras, maybe smoke a bowl, eat a big meal with a beer on the side, play some online video games, and maybe run around the block to get the endorphins flowing. And then Ill post on ATOT. ;)

My vote is for 2ct7, scary stuff.

Oh a higer note:)D), opium (red/white forms and the liquid) is great stuff. Highly reccomended... perscription drugs are awesome too. Special K is great stuff too if you have never had it.

Special K makes me feel like I'm in a bubble.

Oh, btw, add 'shrooms to the poll <-- Best-feeling drug evar.

It was ok for the first hour or 2, but it got old really fast. trippin for 8 hours just plain sucks

I voted for Meth, but LSD can completely fvck someone up mentally from one use. Some people are emotionally ill prepared for its effects and can't handle it. Add the fact that the high lasts for 6-8 hours and you can get into a very bad place mentally.

In my younger DAZE I did most of the drugs listed.
The only ones I ever had problems with were Alcohol and downers (Not listed).

More people have trouble with Alcohol then ALL the others combined!
