10. Power It may not be a drug, per se but for many politicions it is quite addictive.
Speed is crystal meth, rather methamphetamines. That would include Ritalin as well. Cocaine and meth are both Stimulants, which means they would be listed with nicotine and caffeine. See, if I did that though, I would have to include Kava, and Ketamine, and Methylphenidate...the list would just be too long, which is why I picked the most widely used drugs, like alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, cannabis, and opiates.

Barbiturates would be listed under Depressants, along with alcohol and quaaludes. How many people do YOU know that take Sombulex, Nembutal, Seconal, or Luminal (all barbiturates)??? How about methaqualones? Again, it would be hard to come by.

Power isn't a drug *shrug* This poll was about popular, non-prescription or non-medicinally-accepted drugs. There are simply TOO many drugs to list, this isn't the point of this poll.

Another reason why those drugs weren't listed is because it would allow for too much discussion regarding those drugs, and things would just get too technical. So let's stick to the topic, and not what the poll should or should not be; it is what it is and that's because we've discussed this poll prior to posting it here for everyone. Thanks.

Default My Picks

I would have to go with picking 'Cannabis' as my drug of choice. Why?

I rarely drink coffee, and when I do it is usually as an iced cappacino. While I enjoy caffinated beverages (the Pepsi and Mtn. Dew would be somewhat hard to give up). It would suck to give up chocolate but I would do it if I had to choose between Chocolate and Cannabis since Cannabis is probably better for me anyhow and has no calories that I know of. I prefer orange juice or another more healthy juice beverage anyway. And believe me, OJ can give you a big boost too. So I'd just change my dietary habits there.

I don't smoke cigarettes so nicotine would be an easy one to eliminate. Besides, as a non-smoker I've never understood how you could be toking a bowl one minute and then going outside afterwards the next minute like some of my friends do to light up a cigarette. Seems like an awful lot of smoking to me.

Hallucinogens I could live without as with having my Cannabis I do experience some light psychoactive perceptions. However, going without mushrooms would be sad and less enlightening.

At this point in my life I could go without alcohol (except for Communion at Mass of course but that doesn't count now does it?) since I have grown out of the whole going to bars and getting drunk phase now that I'm batting 30. But I would miss having a Guiness now and then.

Opiates I wouldn't miss at all. Nor Cocaine, meth or any other stimulant such as that. I simply just don't do them and don't have much care to ever do them.

Cool But Why!!!

So... daily dose of the "Hippie Highball" made this one tough... nothing like a huge rip and a double esspresso and six hours of skiing, biking... working... I chose caffine 'cause it's got me... MUST HAVE COFFEE... But I would give up alchohol even though a Bourbon now and again is mighty good.

Most people here agree with you, but the poll isn't asking "what's your favorite?"

The poll is designed to make you think about whether it would be worth giving up the addictions that some of us have (nicotine, caffeine, etc) for the holy green plant. Certainly makes me think.

I would definitely CHOOSE cannabis, but it'd be hard to give up some of the others. Very hard indeed.

Especially cigarettes I would miss chocolate as well, and alcohol is used in a lot of things I cook, then again it's not used as drug, rather for the essence and taste since the alcohol reduces. I don't really drink a lot of caffeinated drinks, and I don't like the taste of coffee, so that wouldn't be a problem. Opiates are fun once and a while, as are hallucinogens, but I could do without; which is why I chose cannabis

Hi blazeup247

Howdy and welcome to the Boards. Take a few minutes and look over the posting Policy Guidleines, there is a link in my Sig.

While I understand your love of weed -- please refrain from the "what kind of idiot" posts in the future. I know you are passionate but some folks take statements like that as a flame.

Have a great time here and ...

...have a cookie
