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.

    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
