Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a “miscellaneous” category together?

Also, note all the ridiculous drug propaganda lies.

    The information in the hallucinogenic section about acid flashbacks is incorrect. This was a false rumour spread in the 70s to demonize the political opponents of Nixon.

      Hrm, I always thought it was just a mis-name for PTSD after an excessive dose.

      It looks like there’s at least a degree of clinical validation to it being a combo of PTSD and “sometimes colors stay funny for a while”.

      Are you sure you’re not thinking of “the entire war on drugs, but particularly pot and heroin”?
      That’s what I thought was an invention by the Nixon administration.
