My definition of "hard" drug as opposed to "soft" drug. A hard drug... 1. Must be addictive and harmful to the body OR 2. Accidental overdose must be a very real possibility.
By this definition, LSD and Mushrooms are not hard drugs. They are not addictive, reletively harmless, and nearly impossible to OD on. The fact that they can put the user into intense altered states of awareness is not enough alone for me to consider them hard drugs.
Good definition.

My personal definition of "hard drugs" are drugs that are very hard and damaging to the mind and body. Like Heroin, Meth, Crack, etc. Soft drugs are drugs that have minimal damage or non like Caffine, alcohol in lower to moderate doses, stuff like that.
Now Things like Cannabis, LSD, Mushrooms, DMT, Salvia, Peyote, etc. I classify as powerful spiritual tools/ medicine that should never be taken lightly. I mean with cannabis you can get away with taking it lightly, but not the rest. They should always be represented as something that should be respected and to be taken seriously and not look at it as just some drug.
Him Classifying it as a soft drug can be misleading but there will always be misinformation. People should do their own reseach and not jump into things ignorantly...or after just reading one little article on some website. If they read that website and dont do more research. Thats on them. They will learn the hard way and sometimes thats good for people. Freedom means some people will end up getting hurt, dead, misled, and lied too. I wouldt worry about it to much.

On the one hand, I think of LSD as hard because it can really be a mind fuck, but on the other hand, I don't think of it as being as hard as heroin, as it usually won't fuck up your whole life...
However, I have known many long term marijuana users, who's lives were basically fucked because they lacked motivation and clarity of thought for years due to chronic use...
Is alcohol a hard drug because it destroys some people's lives, or is it a soft drug because it is legal, and an important part of our corporate economy?
The bottom line is, I don?t know! I guess any drug is as hard or soft as you make it.
Every person is different, and every person may find a particular drug to be a nice recreation, or a life destroying hell, so it would seem to be highly-subjective, and therefor the whole classification system of "hard" and "soft" would seem to be kinda silly? 
I think thats a cop out to blame the chronic use of cannabis to their downfall. Plants dont force you to lack motivation. Someone that really wants to stay motivated will..They will make choices to smoke less if they see its making it hard to stay motivated. Sounds like possible depression, hopelessness, or some other rooted issues was the downfall..and cannabis was abused because of it. I know from personal experience. I used to be like that years ago. I had to quit smoking cannabis for almost a couple years and grow. Now my use is mostly due to physical pain, and spiritual use. Once in a while recreational, but I quit using it during the day because I know it makes it harder for me to want to get things done.
-------------------- Know thyself. KNOWING is salvation. If you can't come to know the true reality of this realm, in the least know yourself. Know who you are and hold on to that knowing unto death.

I think what classifies a drug as hard or soft is in its addictive potential. Hard drugs are super addictive like heroin, cocaine, meth, etc. Soft drugs are drugs with lesser addictive potential like marijuana, psychedelics, etc. I don't think it has anything to do with the actual physical effects of the drugs.

Hard and soft are terms that straights use because they think in simlistic black and white since they have no experience. They would only make sense if applied to addictive and non-addictive, so hard would include alcohol, nicotine, coffee, heroin, morphine. Soft would be everything else. But it's a nonsensical classification, one person's delight is another's nightmare. Horses for courses. Experimentation is about finding what you like and what's your dosage and tolerance. Some think LSD is 'hard' to handle, but others microdose and go to work in the office. Some try cannabis, and lunch out for hours, others do a chillum while rock climbing.

Cocaine is a soft drug according to crack users
Because they literally refer to it as "soft"

Alcohol and tobacco are definitely hard drugs. I could see how crack could be viewed as more hard than cocaine but usually people who smoke crack usually started with cocaine. It's cocaine that will sweep you by surprise and give you an addiction. If you are smoking crack well then you are probably already an addict.
