He probably already knows more about all this than the rest of us put together.

I doubt if anyone has tried them all ... I've been at it for damn near half a century, and there are several I haven't tried.

No I never said it was being responsible - that is just me, I took the risk and got away with it!
Anyone see the Wright Stuff the other day there was a woman on it saying that Sugar is more addictive than heroin - that most of us are addicted to it and it's harder to kick than heroin or tobacco and is fatal for many people, causing diabetes and other health problems for more people than illegal drugs.
Also new on line gambling and some fruit machines are as addictive as crack cocaine! Gambling drives many to wreck and ruin and crime to feed their habit.

Here you are then -
Sugar Can Be Addictive: Animal Studies Show Sugar Dependence
Two years ago I followed a completely sugar free diet for 6 months which specified no sucrose, glucose, fructose, and no artificial sugar substitutes.
I did it to cure myself of overgrowth of candida albicans.
The withdrawl symptoms and cravings convinced me that I was curing an addiction.

But it's true ... However, it doesn't have anything to do with addiction. A liking for sugar and fats is hard wired into us as a species. It gave our ancestors a survival advantage; so, like it or not (well, if you believe the random mutation, selective retention thingy) we are stuck with it. Supersize me, and give me a chocolate shake !

So..we need safe places to take drugs responsibly, but if we feel like it we can be totally irresponsible and risk the lives of ourselves and others as long as we think we can get away with it because sugar and fruit machines are addictive too?

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
Getting behind the wheel on acid is simply beyond irresponsible. I suppose at the time it might have made some kind of sense. Acid is like that. Well....
Back in the days... when One of my friends who(rather stupidly) put around 20-40acid tabs inside a bottle of whisky(no exaggeration I saw them all floating around and he drank most of the whisky) went out and came back hours later. When he came back, he came back with no shirt on. His hands, arms, chest and face was all bright red all over.
All we could get out of him was he had "A fight with nettles"
Later I found a piece of paper that he wrote on. I actually turned it into a song, so I still remember the words to this day.
Smell went big fish went long
We all went shopping for eggs
Tracey went boom!
Hello we are all singing
Beans went fizz ting
Lemons are cold
I don't share this story to glorify LSD but rather to amplify the futility of driving on such a drug (and if people can be a crazy as I know them to be on that....) or any kind of substance legal or otherwise(even reaching to eat a bit of sweet candy and chocolate) I don't drive. But I once went on go-karts at blackpool pleasure beach with my niece after a couple of pints and the engine set on fire. Karma warning perhaps
