I know someone who has been hospitalized for take PMDA (and ex substitute that dehydrates you even faster, drains electrolytes faster, and raises your core body temperature by like 2 degrees).

Don't worry I won't. The most I'd do would be getting really drunk. I don't even smoke.
Wise choice. I don't see the point of smoking tbh...
All I know though is http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XJFJ_q7J8gs

EDIT: By the way, I'm not a real fan of rave music, mostly because of the "culture" as I think has been noted before.
An addiction to alcohol is much worse for you than an addiction to cigarettes. Cigarettes are also much easier to kick, though it's still very hard.
Getting shitfaced is much, much, much worse to your body than getting really high of pot as well.
Alcohol destroys the brain, liver, kidneys, and esophagus. It can create euphoria, but it's not guaranteed; instead of creating euphoria it intensifies what ever emotion you having. Decreases motor and cognitive skills. It also acts as a "truth serum" of sorts because you lose some fear of secrets, and even rational fears such as crossing roads, getting roofs, etc. It causes nausea and vomiting...and it tastes terrible. The only reason it is legal around the world is because of how rooted it is in culture. Especially in America. Same goes for cigarettes.
Cannabis Sativa subspec. Sativa/subspec. Indica protects against alzheimer's, increases appetite (which I need, since I'm 35 pounds underweight), increases caution, impairs motor skills slightly (not nearly as much as alcohol. I can run a marathon when I'm baked as hell, I can barley walk if I'm at the same level of drunkenness). It creates euphoria, no negative/depressing emotions. It can create paranoia, due to it being illegal. It also puts you into REM sleep, unlike alcohol. One downside is it increases mucus production, like any plant when smoked. It has no known carcinogens, and has not been linked to any cancers. There is an incredibly slight chance of developing emphysema, as with any smoke; but it's very low. It does not kill brain cells as many think, it simply lowers your short term memory for a few days. The only real reason marijuana is illegal in the United States is because in 1937 they passed the marijuana tax act, and never decided to print the tax stamps. Over time people started looking down on it, and decided it was "bad".
MDMA (ex, x, ecstasy, rolls, etc) creates a very intense euphoria, increased feelings of connection with those around you, and a sense of well being. It has been shown to severely increase anxiety and paranoia as well. It dehydrates your body, as well as draining electrolytes; so if you drink water you'll lose even more electrolytes and could possibly die of water poisoning. It, unlike cannabis, actually kills brain cells. And a lot of them.
To Brad, or anyone opposed to me posting something like this:
I was thinking about how you said there are kids here. Beyblade is targeted at kids 5-12, at that age they should have already gone through a D.A.R.E. type program at school and should be educated on drugs and alcohol. I'm not telling people to use it, I'm giving my input on legalization and the effects of certain drugs.
To those reading this, do not use any substance that is not legal for you to use. This includes Marijuana, MDMA, Alcohol, Tobacco, and other illegal substances. At the end of the day, this is to educate and it is still up to those who read it if they want to try any substance.
