You're much better off doing many other recreational drugs. Amphetamine is much safer and so is moderate amounts of cocaine or ecstasy. Weed is obviously better for you than the synthetic stuff. | ||

(http://blogs.hbr.org/schwartz/2010/10/dopes-and-dopamine-the-problem.html) Computer games and facebook do this, too. There's clearly a difference between types of drugs, as well. An amphetamine does not have anywhere near the same effect as an opiate/narcotic. A psychedelic doesn't do anything like a barbiturate. A tricyclic antidepressant doesn't work anything like caffeine. THC* is totally different from other drugs in a qualitative sense, as well. I'm just saying that it's really important to be very specific as to what we're talking about for the purposes of discussion. That's just the social scientist in me. I like to start out by clearly defining what I'm talking about so that everyone can be on the same page. Kind of silly to compare sensory inputs causing natural changes in brain chemistry to compounds which change your brain/blood chemistry in ways that, generally speaking, don't happen naturally. Yes, they both affect your view of the world and your emotional state, but they're still apples and oranges (which are both fruit, but behave differently). | ||

I agree completely, but i dont like the scare tactic approach the video takes. I've actually done mephedrone which is mentioned in this video alot. Its very speedy and a little bit of empathy. If you do it a few times you can feel yourself going a bit crazy I only did it a couple times and vowed to never touch RC's again (research chemicals) Theres literally so many kinds of these things heres another i bought. I was so stupid. ![[image loading]](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g216/xxbodomxx/DSCF3234.jpg) | ||

am I somewhat accurate here? I don't understand why we aren't talking about synthetics anymore, other than the fact that I think we have established they are very bad for you, and now we are discussing what consitutes a drug. I think that deserves another thread all by itself though :/. | ||

Read up on erowid that most of them are just scam products where they have a huge mix of exotic crap and then sprinkle in synthetic THC powder. Tried some Spice Gold before, really heavy indica reaction for me. Wasn't really worth it so never went back for more. | ||

Generally the weed replicas are the least worst of the offenders.. its the speed, coke, mdma replacement ones that are the worst. They really mess with your heart rate, and doing them enough can make you a bit/very psychotic. | ||

In any case, I'd take marijuana over that stuff. | ||

With the rise of CBD, synthetic CBD alternatives are creeping their way into the market. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5aaa8c1e12b13f9aecc183e2/t/5b5a68ca562fa7e5abffba07/1532651724299/Synthetic Versus Natural CBD.pdf | ||
