In the last couple of years the topic "legalization of drugs" has become way more important, so I want to spread some knowledge about all the drugs out there, some safer use practices, the effect on the human body, and so on.
I will cover the following topics in this series:
- Brief history. In case of a synthetic drug, I will be covering the first synthesis, the uses and in what state it is currently, in case of a naturally occuring drug, I will be covering the first historically reported use, and it's cultural aspects.
- Legal status. I will explain, if this substance illegal, and if there are any countries where it is legal (i.e. Kratom: legal in most countries, but it is illegal in Malaysia, Finland (prescription), Myanmar, New Zealand (prescription), Sweden, South Korea and Thailand)
- In this section the possible positive, negative and neutral effects will be covered
- Dosage. The dosage will be split into 4 categories, threshold, low dose, common dose, high dose.
- Pharmacology. I give a brief overview about how the substance affects certain parts of the body and how it could harm someone
- Dangers. Here I will be covering the dangers of each substance, the LD-50 (lethal dose for 50% of test subjects), and other short-term and long term harms that can occur.
- My own opinion about the substance. I will try my best to keep the first 6 points as objective as possible and write my own opinion about the substance down here, I also encourage everyone of you to share your opinions and mabye even some experiences with the substance down in the comments
