Knowledge is knowledge, and some of us serve as a nexus for all manner of knowledge. Though knowledge is sometimes painful, I'd just about always rather know something than not know it. My personal experience with Meth Labs was when the people living across the street from us (when I was a lad) were caught brewing meth in their house, and had also bypassed their natural gas meter and electrical meter so they could steal utilities. The police skeletonized the entire property, everything went away as evidence, including some curtains and other mundane items. It's very fortunate that their half-assed work bypassing the electrical and gas boxes didn't turn the entire thing into a smoking crater--the processes involved in meth production can be highly explosive.

I watch History Channel.  They have a mini-series called "Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way".

... plus I just like learning about things.

There's also the TV show Breaking Bad.

Awesome Dwarf Fortress quotes are why Bay12 forum is the only forum where reading people's signatures is worth your time.

I quite like mine.

Hard to be God. Especially when you have no idea what "Volcanism Weighted Range 0-20" means.

It means that when painting regions of low volcanic activity (in this case 0-20 on the scale of 0-100) that you take N parts per Y parts.

N being the weighting of that entry, Y being the sum total weighting of all volcanism weighted ranges.

It's really not that hard to understand.

If you put 1,1,1,1,1 in as your "weights" then you'll get the same area of 0-20 volcanism as you will any other range (20-40, 40-60, 60-80, and 80-100).  If you put in 2,1,1,1,1 you'll get twice as much 0-20 as any other single range.

You also have to realize that 1,1,1,1,1 and 2,2,2,2,2 and 99,99,99,99,99 are all the same.

Yes, but I've never personally watched Breaking Bad.  I got my personal information from History Channel, and my personal knowledge base was the question.

Fair enough, I was just pointing out that the series exists and has a lot of information about meth.

I like to think that my fortress DOES have some kind of recreational drug going around. Some time ago an FB came and kicked up a powder that caught my military. All involved became dizzy, which was the majority of my military and a ton of war animals.

Now it has spread across my fortress. It has no other effect, it just makes people dizzy... and it never goes away. Ever.
It's slowly spreading across the population of my entire fort. Must be really addictive stuff. I often wonder if they're more than just "Dizzy".

Of course, Magic Mushrooms are poisonous alongside being psychotropic, while LSD is just very, very powerful, and essentially rewires your brain (so that you "see scents"

Or you might just be a synesthete.  Some people can do that without dangerous chemicals.

I'm one of them, always have been.  I can smell in 'colors'.  The colors typically sync up with the more common things you'd think of like grass, but when it comes to scenting people, animals, and foods, the smell-color becomes more interesting to describe.  It also helps that I have an incredibly powerful sense of smell on top of that.  Perhaps overcompensation for whack eyes and fubar'd hearing (deaf in one ear).

For example, I smell like coffee (brown) and a faint burnt tire (Murky dark grey with light grey spots) and skunk (deep orangey-brown) mixture when I sweat.  A friend of mine smells kind of like how ginger ale tastes (greenish-brown) and burning paper (light brown).

It's natural for me but others get a kick out of it.  =)

I'm afraid my sight is only sight. What is it like? Do you just see colors overlaying the world based on what you smell, or are people colored differently, based on what they smell like? Also, what color is chloroform?

 The concepts/sensory input in your mind are connected differently. It's rarely something that corresponds to what you could get on a screen with editing.
 I suggest you experiment with your imagination until you can rework your senses, although I've had people tell me "that's just not possible for me".

while LSD is just very, very powerful, and essentially rewires your brain (so that you "see scents" because your brain's nasal nerves become linked to the optics portion of your mind) to the point where you can cause permanent brain damage, but they aren't addictive, as other drugs like cocaine or meth or anything made from opium are.

Bullshit. LSD causes no permament brain damage unless you overdose like mad.
LSD is completely not toxic, does not causes addition. Yes it rewires indeed. The latent effects can linger for a week or two, but nothing else

Everything causes addiction. Sugar causes addiction.

BUT!

LSD does not, in fact, have a physical dependency effect, so you're partially right there. There are psychological dependency effects, just as there are with pretty much anything.

Which isnt an addition per se, it's just general bullshit of people. Im addicted to air, for example.

[Josephus]

No fucking way. You too?

I'm pretty sure that's a physical addiction (try to stop sometime).

How about the internet?  You addicted to that?
