I'll never smoke that **** ever again. I was in my friends 3 story apartment, and I hit it out of a bong, 3 mins later, I was looking up and I saw this guy throwing these metal rods down on me, and they were sticking into my skin, and I could actually feel this. I was litterally standing there like all stiff thinking I was gonna die, then I came out of it and I was down stairs on the first level, standing in the grass. And for some reason, I took another hit and my whole body just became real tingly.

I think that law varies by state.

I don't know, how is alcohol legal while marijuana is not. I'm not advocating for the use of either drug, but even the goverments classification of various drugs labels alcohol as more dangerous than marijuana due to its addictive nature and societal impact.

Because alcohol makes you dumb for a night, pot makes you dumb for life! ... ... And a murderer. And other less savory things. :o

Little to know side affects, and you are back to normal about an hour after smoking it, the high lasts for 5-15 mins but the after affects last for maybe an hour.

Because it hasn't been publicized enough to rally a force behind it and push for legislation. It's generally not well known (and often mistaken for pot). It's becoming more well known, and eventually it may become legislated, but I can't imagine that enough people regularly consume this to bring about a huge population of users. Most of the stories I've heard include a complete lack of control. Oddly enough...ever look up the effects of Benydryl? 2 of those suckers and you can breathe, but you're a bit sleepy. up the dosage a bit and it's similiar to drunkeness. Bump it up a bit more and hallucinations kick in. Bump it too much and you die. There is very little rhyme or reason to the legality of drugs. Why should Salvia be treated differently?

Pretty sure you're talking about dextromethorphan. I think they stopped putting that in over the counter medications. And they always coupled it with high doses of acetaminophen to keep you from being able to take enough of the recreational drug without damage.

there are many illegal drugs less dangerous than alcohol. I just deal with it.

Diphenhydramine actually... Apparently it's similiar and often used together. It is the active ingredient in Benadryl, so taking it out really would make it something completely different. Do a couple quick searches and you can find the effects in high doses.

Well they were going to make it illegal recently. But I believe they decided on keeping it legal with restrictions.

The high only lasts for 5-15 mins anyhow.

Dunno. Guess they figured that nobody in his right mind would want to try it more than once, so it can't be considered habit forming.

I read a few descriptions of the effects. I've taken 6 (i think that's about 100-150mg and considered a light-common dose?) and it was very similiar to a more aware drunkeness (I'm a big guy, so don't get crazy with your dosage if you actually try it). It also causes drowsiness (as it is a depressant) so any recreational usage will be relatively short lived for most people. Again: this is not a suggestion. You can OD. The trips are very deep and out of control. An inability to seperate reality from hallucination.

Another one of the odd legal status/thats a drug?!?! drugs is nutmeg...

I think nutmeg is legal because (again) nobody really wants to do it anyway...

Apparently it only works when it's freshly ground as well...

It's hit or miss. I've read stories where people swear that it doesn't do anything and I've seen other talking about a 64 hour experience.

I've heard that's really rough on the liver, and the effect is comparable to 24 hours of sleepy senility.

Yup! It's really a horrible way to realize that you have too much time on your hands.
