re-size
There are a dizzying array of legal drugs on the market with names like Head Candy and Neuro Blast. They promise to have the same effects as ecstasy and amphetamines and even induce powerful trips.
Do they work, are they safe and should they be legal?

    i think the women got the bad side of the "legal drugs". the two guys selling the natural items would be the way 2 go its from nature no artificial crap, i would like 2 c more about those guys and what theyre all about.

    Legal or illegal theres not much of a difference between their harmful effects.

    Back in my "hay-day" I could take the Pepsi challenge with "E". I haven't tried any of the legal type stuff. I also doubt I would enjoy being awake for 40+hours either.

    Although the women are consenting adults they seemed not to know anything about what they were taking... Salvia 'won't be very strong'!!?? Thirdman tell me it's just how the edit makes it appear and you gave them a full background on what they were ingesting if they were not already aware.

    Since time immemorial man has wanted to get off his box.
    It's never going to change.

    Which is why responsible sympathetic legislation is needed.

    We need to grow up on this topic.
    Legalise
    Regulate
    Tax.

    Bish bash bosh, done.

    But what about the really hard drugs which truly destroy people; Heroin, Meth, Crack...
    thats' a much harder question.

    Legalise for personal use, and really go after dealers.
    using the extra money to really break these dealers, while offering medical grade stuff by very strict prescription..

    Dealers are already breaking the law, they are not afraid of it. we need to take the power (of supply) out of their hands.

    If you are facing a 20 year stretch and someone comes onto your area taking business away from you, why not use violence to get rid of them, thats the mentality they have.

    I realise this is never going to happen though, it would take serious effort to get governments internationally to stop the illogical war on drugs.

    There's another side to all the talk of legality and the upsurge of recreational use of Salvia. It has a long continuing tradition of use as an entheogen by indigenous Mazatec shamans, who use it to facilitate visionary states of consciousness during spiritual healing sessions and should be treated with the appropriate respect. It's up to the individual but if you go into using such substances unprepared or with misconceptions you're in for a shock.

    Didn't most drugs start out as legal before people realized their damaging impacts? That's how cocaine was in Coca Cola, and how John Kerry's ancestors made money in the opium trade.

    Criminalization clearly isn't the answer though. Part of our educational system should be about constructive ways to escape unpleasant reality.

    Think people are mean and the world sucks? Go out and be unbelievably kind and outrageously generous for a day. See what kind of high that give you.

    salvia, kratom, ayahuasca and other such herbal mixtures those potseeds guys are selling have been used for thousands of years for shamanic purposes.
    If only stupid prats on you tube would stop posting vids of themselves doing silly things while on salvia it might get a good press or better yet no press at all.

    Keep the plants legal and heavily regulate the synthetic chemicals.

    edit: as a side note the drug in salvia (alpha salvanorin ) is currently being used to develop extremely effective opiate, non-addictive pain killers. being both non addictive and an opiate is rare if not unseen in the natural drug world. Salvanorin is virtually impossible to to synthesize therefore if there was a blanket ban on salvia it would put this research back many years.

    Yes mate, I know that you are right for sure. But everyone gotta learn!! Miss/Mr Salvia would teach them the truth, if they choose to listen. Salvia mind state includes very powerful connections to close warm energy and spirit channels.

    Personally I use it for a once in blue moon 'life advice' trip to me...

    BZP:== haha I done 8 in over one night, was mega speedy fucked (jaw wobbling mess lol) for about 12 hours then VOOM down to sleep mode, was no 'fear' vibes though, like other stuff does, & no real prolonged or nasty effects.
    Keeping Hydrated is the real key to good experience. I really wish this shit was still easily available amongst UK shops.

    'Head Candy' is insane,haha,if it used carefully it is a magnificent aid to truly understanding elements of yourself.
    Do too much and be prepared for a long headspace. I say again BE PREPARED, if you can, sort any 'major stuff to do' out for a few days at least afterwards, for this can last over days and days, especially if you do more than 2. Be careful with those arrangements you make, before hand. BUT you can if strong minded enough handle situations with an amazing and mind blowing 'finness'. Also as a real word of advice don't 'assume' amounts that you think you can handle, eg, with this, 3 + 1/2 pills kept me up for 3 nights, nearly 4 days, I was OK because I did rest myself, but too much is really not recommended in general.

    WTF NO SUBSTANCE I'VE EXPERIENCED HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH:

    Horniness = EXTREME, 'billy willy'=yes but resolvable & real 'Speedy Horn' x2 + with at least 6-10hr mental horniness haha... OMFG Outrageously HORNY substance, good for 1, good for 2, had great shagathons and wankathons!! ((some have fluctuated upto 15hrs!!!))

    ***"Head Candy Label Advice SHOULD be along the lines of:***
    "If you can afford yourself some time to enjoy life, and are not doing too much right now, then you'll love this!- Good mind and body awareness is the real key to getting somewhere good, so chill with your thoughts when you take it and drink plenty of water."

    TO SORT OUT A FAT CHUNK OF THIS COUNTRY OUT WE NEED TO DO THIS:-->>

    Give young and inexperienced people the freedom and 'free will' to do what they will! ANYTHING THEY CHOOSE. GIVE good GUIDANCE, but Legalize everything seriously, if someone wants to destroy themselves they will anyway, with or without assistance. ALL HUMANKIND are capable of having GOOD JUDGMENT themselves, without EXTERNAL restrictions - AS LONG AS GUIDANCE IS PRESENTED AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
    -Of course all human kind are also capable of bad judgment especially without experience, knowledge and guidance. Without, We are abandoned, and much more likely to blunder along, learning slowly and through fire.
    So much learning is done through the fires or furnaces of certain experiences and many, many of us are burnt along the way.

    It's like telling your kids to avoid the hot stuff, cross roads carefully and to fight like a Tigeress with cubs if ever held against their will.

    Build by signals and directions of strength not of fear.

    -Nothing is better or more heart felt than good strong, correct advice.
