A puff of this, and the world transforms into a colorful kaleidoscope of dancing patterns and waves of sound; a sip of that, and the muscles in your body relax like jello.

We know different drugs make us experience the world around us in very different ways — and their after-effects are often nowhere near as pleasant as the immediate results they produce.

So what exactly are these drugs doing to prompt these feelings?

    I believe I speak for the majority of SN users in saying that this type of news is not wanted here.

    Yes, there is definately nothing useful or interesting behind the link. I am so certain that no one actually knows this, let alone that it found its way to a page of infographics, that I wont be clicking.

    I don't know how many people you speak for or think you speak for but you don't speak for me.

    If the headline delivered what it promised it would be interesting.

    Instead, it delivers a bunch of propaganda and a few outright lies.

    I disagree.

    I would want to know what I am potentially poisoning myself with, so that I can make a better decision than what the product marketing may otherwise suggest.

    DARE programs and propaganda and so on -- do not an informed consumer make.

    This article and its presentation are suspect, but the question is valid and so is the desire to have a good answer.
