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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
