Interesting ... meth completely slipped my mind (must've been all that crack I had this morning). OK, knowing this, would you argue that all of these drugs should remain illegal, and if so do you base this belief on your personal experiences?

No, to his credit, he has not used these drugs personally.

Texaggie79 has a very definite and effective formula for determining the difference between "hard drugs" and "soft drugs".

• Drugs that Texaggie79 has not personally used (opium, LSD, etc.) = "Hard Drugs".
  
• Drugs that Texaggie79 has personally used (alcohol, marijuana, psyllocybin, etc) = "Soft Drugs".

See? A quite objective standard. If Texaggie79 has used it personally, it is therefore a "soft" drug and should be entirely legal. Simple!!

By "personal experience," I meant his observance of people on these drugs.

Is this true? If so, you're way off base putting psylocybin and LSD in different categories. The effects are pretty much the same. LSD just lasts a few hours longer.
Maybe you had experience with a moron that used LSD. In my experience it's very useful for a reasonably bright person, but stupid people abuse it to the point they fry themselves, or just do stupid things while on it. I personally know someone who took it and wandered into someones home. This guy was an idiot to begin with and made himself even dumber with the drug. He doesn't even understand he did something wrong. I look forward to the courts dealing with this fool. There isn't a problem with the drug, just stupid people.
