"Legal" Highs

[Domo]

Do you have these in America? We have them over here and they are basically legal drugs. Problem is, mix them with alcohol and you have a deadly concoction

 

[cijay]

Don't know about America but I don't think we have them here (Canada). What drugs are they?

 

[pat fan]

Not that I know of. I mean, you can get a prescription for drugs if you have an injury or whatever that can get you "high", but I don't think they'll give you a scrip for the sole purpose of getting high.

You crazy Brits!

Yes, we do. They are drugs which are carefully mixed to avoid the laws banning certain types of drugs. We've had several teens and young adults die in our area because of these things which are technically "legal." Scary stuff.

Isn't it a shame-they make that dangerous stuff legal, but marijuana remains illegal in most states. This country makes no sense.

They haven't made them "legal" it's just that lawmakers can't make stuff "illegal" as fast as people change one or two molecules and claim it's a "new" thing and therefore not illegal. In this country, everything is legal until we make it non-legal. So, it's not like those drugs are "legal" it's just that they are not yet "illegal." And, when they make drug A "illegal", then they change it a tiny bit and say now it's "drug B." Stupid.

After LSD became illegal, hippies in the 1960s supposedly got high or took trips by smoking dried banana peels or morning glory seeds, among other legal substances.

OP, what country???
and I agree, Marijuana is illegal, while alcohol kills more people.

"They call me mellow yellow" LOL. Which came first, the concept or the song? what I really think is funny is the people who got 'stoned' when they found out it's not possible.

Where is "over here"? I'm not familiar with Domoland.

Like cijay said, it didn't work, it was a placebo. People thought they got high, but it was thru the power of suggestion.

When I was a kid, there was this girl who swore you could get drunk off Canada Dry.

Had someone in my college dorm get trashed after drinking a few "near beers."

Kind of reminds me of that old Adam Sandler skit, about "I'm so wasted".

Well it does have a small percentage of alcohol so if you drink enough and you're a rookie...

I remember driving across the U.S./Canada border and spotting a billboard that said "Drink Canada Dry." Believe me, I tried.
