Well if that's true then yeah, your stuff is a bit stronger. Usually 3 tabs will have me skirting of the edge of it, 4 will push me over generally. But I'd rather go a little bit higher than that, just to be sure. I'd rather have a trip that's too strong than too weak, when I'm on the cusp of it I tend to get a bit paranoid and anxious. Or just have a light easy going trip on 2 tabs.

f) Im against... Kinda. I saw what stuff like this does to people (Well, they were mostly inresponsible people, but anyway), especially young people. Addiction can ruin your life totally. I wouldn't use this stuff, but a person can choose if he/she wants to use drugs.

f) People are free to do what they want to their own bodies. I just implore that people do proper research before they take them, key places being erowid and drug forums.

On a personal side taking MDMA (the psychoactive ingredient in Ecstasy) was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Not only did it give me a sense of euphoria I've ever experienced before or since. The few experiences I took from it, that have probably profoundly changed my views on reality, have been all good. I was in a very safe environment, everyone was enjoying themselves.

While on it... I can only describe it as a... connectedness with other people. I know this isn't the case, but subjectively I felt actually connected beyond the 'shared experienced' feelings people normally get when doing things with others. It was so much more intense.

Ketamine is nuts, I highly suggest trying it. You get weird mind bubbles, I thought I was in a bar in paris and I could taste colours...

Yeah, I found MDMA greatly helped me to overcome social anxiety, and make me more confident.

I just appreciated the sensory overload on E. Rave gloves are the bomb.

I enjoy MDMA (amongst many other things in life), but it causes problems for me. I'm kind of a shut in, the few friends I have are a bit distant because I tend to get clingy, and when I realize it then I apologize profusely which is quite annoying I suspect. On MDMA this aspect of my personality multiplies tenfold. I become incredibly friendly and, almost.. loving to everyone. While sober I maintain a deep love for all living things because I understand that we're all fighting the same battle, but on MDMA this love explodes and rains down upon everyone around me. Of course I've only ever exposed myself to strangers on it for fear of totally disgusting my "friends", so I'm not sure how the strangers felt about it. But in my own mind, I was being annoying.
The come down from MDMA is pretty terrible. Not the worst I've had, but fairly bad. I suppose the amount you take makes all the difference.

As for my general view on drugs, as if it matters or anybody cares aside from myself:

I really don't see the problem with people taking drugs as long as they aren't putting others in danger, or causing damage to other peoples' property. Do you know why house cats lie on their backs and look at their owners upside-down? A lot of people claim that it's a perspective thing. They're getting new, interesting sensory input by looking at the world upside down.
That's what I think of when I imagine humans ingesting mind-altering chemicals. We're changing our perspectives. We're trying to learn. Yes, some people become addicted to the sensory input and get stuck in a painful loop, but that's just the way it is. Why cause friction by shunning such an understandable act? We all want to learn, after all. Some of us look to the stars, some look to the earth, and some look within. But drugs open up a whole new set of ways for us to do that.

Either way, I guess it's all natural. Being in favor, not being in favor, downright hating people who take drugs, it's all just a part of our world.

If they were also under the influence then I can almost guarantee that you weren't annoying them.

I'd love to, but if get a drug conviction of any sort on my record, I'm automatically exempt from receiving any type of federal or state student aid. I'm kind of relying on that right now given that nowhere within a 20 mile radius of me is hiring.

Smoking absolutely anything is physically harmful.

Simply by virtue of the smoke carrying abrasive particles, if nothing else.

This whole situation is pretty silly.  Not only can't we agree on which chemicals qualify as drugs, we can't even agree whether it should be each chemical sack'sperson's choice of which new chemicals to assimilate into itself.
