What's one drug-related myth you wish would finally disappear?

While I have no doubt that data is wrong and you have a point I would like to emphasize that they are harmful in very different ways...

if you drink alcohol every day you are probably going to die -- gives you cancer in everything but the retina of the eye.

if you take opiates everyday that is not really a death sentence or going to do your health over the same way ---- however OD, price, (lack of access and legality in short)

Now I have probably lost about an equal amount of friends from both -- but more people drink so as always that checks out with what I know...
 
I have several.

1) Taking uppers and downers simultaneously is intrinsically super damaging to the heart (no matter which uppers and downers)
2) You can chase OxyContin off tinfoil to good effect
3) Midazolam maleate (Dormicum) is soluble enough in pH-neutral tap water to dissolve 2x15mg into a 3mL rig and shoot up
4) Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) cannot be used intravenously
5) Elvanse/Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine) cannot be used intravenously, intranasally, or any other way than orally; other ROAs mean none of it is converted to dexamphetamine
6) You can diagnose ADHD based on how you react to stimulants
7) Stimulants make people with ADHD outright sedated, and are of no recreational interest to those with ADHD
8) If amphetamine sulphate is still keeping you awake longer than 8h after your last dose, it must contain methamphetamine
9) Drinking alcohol before taking methylphenidate produces pharmacologically active, recreational amounts of ethylphenidate in vivo in the same way that alcohol + cocaine produces cocaethylene
10) Because gasoline is used in a step of the extraction process of cocaine, the end product must possess the same toxicity attributes as gasoline.

Ugh. All of these should go away.

That's why I am a strong supporter of the fifth freedom. All well informed adults should have the legal right to take whatever drug(s) they choose, risking the safety of others being the sole constraint. That like alcohol and nicotine products, legal and safe pathways for obtaining said drug(s) should follow the models surrounding [P] medications as they are now. The sole reason for that so someone expert in the field can ensure a person IS well informed.

Clearly when rendered unfit to drive or operate heavy machinery for any reason, there is a responsibility towards others.

I have epilepsy and although it's rarely an issue, I don't drive because I cannot be sure beforehand that I WON'T be render unfit (in quite a spectacular manner).
 
May also be alot of other people too though!

Psychedelics no longer seem to do it for me, but I kinda suspect I just got weak shrooms as I went up to like 6 grams dried and took a nap. (Which is kind of a thing with me while comin up on psychedlics I start to nod -- oddly) lol

When in fact, they smash the doors open allowing bad actors to cloud your perception...

(or maybe that's just me... :confused: )

100% agree , I always in my life had anxiety but was only body anxiety after psychedelics I have mind anxiety and diagnosed with GAD with some OCD tendencies and I can exactly pinpoint the moments at the trips that those appeared and stick with me.
