I am actually eating right now, but I worked as a nurse, so I'm used to poop talk when I eat
I don't think it's possible to gross out a nurse.

I'm sure that's true, though chance to try it out would be a fine thing indeed. Even so, perhaps I should have put my disclaimer at the start of the post, rather than the end?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Not being American myself, I know just what you mean and I concur.

IMHO the two worst highs are nicotine and alcohol, however they are the legal ones. I prefer marijuana on occasion and on rarer occasions, I like to partake of 'shrooms or peyote.
I did opium twice. Never again, too good.

A vasectomy and narcotics? Sounds like a win/win to me.

While I respect your right not to use any substances, there are plenty that don't make you stupid.
Pot is not one of them.
Well, I should elaborate. Pot does not make you "stupid." However, being a former pot head and current pro-legalization advocate/non-smoker, I do have to say that people who are high around me seem a lot stupider than they did when I was smoking. They forget shit. Their reaction time is slower. They say dumb things as if that was the epiphany of their lives. Now, these are people who are not dumb. Being high just makes them special for a bit. This is not true of all people, but I know some highs made me feel like a mental cripple.

Holy shit. I was smoking butts all that time and didn't know I was getting high.

The hallucinogen in Salvia is the most powerful one known to man, so it is probably not the best substance for an inexperienced user to get their feet wet with. I don't know what your experience is, but Salvia is not something to casually fuck around with. You should know what you're getting into first.
I tried it one time, and it was one of the weaker extracts. They come in potencies from 5x to 60x, and I tried the 5x. It was quite powerful, and as I was smoking it I suddenly felt as if I was going to fall on my face. The good news is that it only lasts for about 30-45 minutes as compared to shrooms and LSD which last for about 8 hours.
Don't let Salvia's legal status fool you. It is very powerful.

Mushrooms. I think mushrooms are the best gateway to hallucinogens. The only downside in my experience is that they make some people puke their guts out.
