Totally unbiased article by a prominent expert on the subject backed by irrefutable statistical data

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Nutt

David John Nutt (born 16 April 1951) DM FRCP FRCPsych FMedSci is a British psychiatrist and neuropsychopharmacologist specialising in the research of drugs that affect the brain and conditions such as addiction,anxiety and sleep.[3] He was until 2009 a professor at the University of Bristol heading their Psychopharmacology Unit.[4] Since then he has been the Edmond J Safra chair in Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College, London.[5] Nutt was a member of the Committee on Safety of Medicines, and was President of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology.[6][7][8] His book "Drugs without the hot air" (UIT press) won the Transmission Prize for Communicating Science in 2014.

Judge legalisation of addictions by degree of potential consequences to others.

I interpret this as "actually assess the real world effects of each current illicit and legislate its legality according to the factual severity of their impact" - ie the sensible way to go about it, not unnecessarily demonising everything as we've seen in the past?

If so, I agree 100%. People should be allowed to do as they please with their own bodies in the appropriate settings (privacy of home), within reason. So long as the results of their use have no appreciable negative impact on any aspect of society, INCLUDING resulting health complications that impact the public healthcare system and taxpayer, then really it's on the user. Still need some measures to ensure the user doesn't do something stupid, which is understandably a topic of concern that would need addressing...though really I believe that comes down to education, which is where I see some others' points regarding driving whilst high - you can't PREVENT it from happening; you can only really catch the person in the act, which is too late. The fact this is already of concern with alcohol doesn't take away from 'drug driving' either, so I do see the point in the argument of not adding more to a current problem by decriminilising certain things.

Heroin and opiates in general I don't have any interest in touching personally. I also believe heroin to be one of the drugs that shouldn't ever be derestricted as it has far too high abuse potential leading to nasty dependence. Meth also goes in this category imo. They have too high impact on society when abused, which is somewhat inevitable.

Did you see anything cool when you tried DMT?

Personally, I've never experienced the kind of hallucinations the layperson associates with hallucinogens like LSD, DMT, mushrooms, etc. Like the whole seeing things that are absolutely not there, like elephants haha. Or the wall fully melting, or my immediate reality dissolving. The most I've 'seen' is having geometric fractal patterns wash over my whole vision, distorting everything I see into a colourful twisted mess; unfortunately no machine elves or 'common' DMT phenomena.

While visuals are one aspect of tripping I enjoy greatly, I still enjoy most other aspects equally - like the overwhelming understanding and realisation (of something, haha), the awe and wonder, the HOLY SHIT THIS IS INCREDIBLE WOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. Generally DMT slaps me hard enough that opening my eyes doesn't really cross my mind, and it's more laying there for 10-15 minutes in relative bliss.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
