Benzos are the most useful drug. I can't tell you how many times "I need a xanax." Probably not as many times as "I need a beer." or "I need a cigarette" but I'm sure whoever said I need a xanax meant it more. Its a drug everyone should have in their toolbox, it calms you down and puts you to bed.
Not for me I guess but I really hate most downers. It doesn't help my anxiety that much and just makes me feel dumb.

hash chip waffles.... mmm interesting.
Ya active coconut oil is really some amazing stuff with herb.
I understand the culture your referring to and the aspects of the weed experience... but with so many medical benefits I would not list herb as overrated. At one point in my life I might have rated the high as overrated.... or unpleasant would be a better word. But now I really enjoy casual low dose edibles made from canna coconut oil (.1g or less). For my life, the experience definitely has its place. I enjoy it subtly. Doesnt alter the activities I do in my day, but I might spend more time yoga listening to music or things like that. Tune into body.

it may be hyped as a drug, but as a beverage, you cannot find a better alcoholic drink to pair with any grilled meat with marinades or subtle flavoring.
Absinthe: Psychedelic? no. Better than normal alcohol? Hell yes. Delicious? you bet.
A thinking man's drink, if that isn't too contradictory for you.

    The above is hypothetical, when it is illegal. Psychedelics are performance enhancers for the philosopher. Knowledge and wisdom are one and the same.

Hmm interesting. I had some I suspect was absinthe one time but im not sure. I got it from a small mountain town in germany, the guy who sold it said it was made from grass (plants?) on the mountain and had the effects of lsd. COuld have been something else though, maybe made from sleepy grass. Still me and a friend split a bottle and didnt notice any psychedelic effects.
I would like to try absinthe more to see this pairing you describe. Im not much of a liquor connoisseur though.
But wormwood brewed into tea taste funky as hell. Thats why they rub wormwood oil on babies thumbs so they will stop sucking.

absinthe is really tastey, and the who ritual with the sugar cube is fun. although they say connoisseurs don't use sugar because good stuff doesn't need the flavor altered.
i'm not sure how the drunk is different, its so expensive that i couldn't really afford to get drunk on it.

Cocaine.
Very high priced. Bags go quickly. High is short. Comedown lasts 4 times as long as the high.
Yeah, coke.

No offense, and I get that you were probably trying to make a joke of some sort (at least I hope you were) but this strikes me as a particularly ignorant comment. Being a junkie or a total 24/7 druggie is very much not cool. Having to be loaded to enjoy your life, or cope with it, is very much not cool, or desirable. If you can't enjoy your life without drugs, there is something wrong with you, or wrong with your life, or both.
Background, yeah It's pretty much just my personalty of never being 100% serious(usually).
This is someone who only uses alcohol and cannabis rarely and only does psychedelics besides that. I think difficult trips do make you appreciate being sober the majority of the time. Actually one thought that occurred on my first salvia trip was that weed and booze(my true vote ) were a waste of money.
Although this does truly represent my feeling towards the school system.

yea i think being drug free is pretty lame, as far as never trying drugs. its different if you have at least tried drugs and chose to stop, but to never even try a drug or any experience that is available to you for that matter puts a huge damper on your life and your character.

Absinthe of all kinds is fucking disgusting. The cheap shit is just a more affordable kind of shit. Now when you start talking high-end bottles of scotch or cognac, then we can discuss the subtleties of different fine spirits.
I doubt most drug-addled hippies are sipping Courvoisier or Glenmorangie, though.
As far as overrated drugs; cocaine. Already been explained why. Lacklustre high, short duration, expensive as hell to maintain a habit. Almost as overrated as absinthe.

dude id much rather just smoke a little bowl and chill, eating alot of edibles or doing some dabs is just too much, I get uncomfortably high. I mean I do have like no weed tolerance because I never buy it anymore but still, being too stoned isn't the best.

Nicotine is the most over rated drug IMO. Earlier I ignorantly misread the title, and thought it was most under rated drug (Ambien).

Absinthe isn't TOO disgusting IMO, but I really like anise.
As for us drug-addled hippies, I picked up a bottle of 'The Lasanta' 12yr Glemorangie the other day 
Haven't treated myself to something this nice in a while. Or scotch at all, really. Went into the store planning on treating myself with some rye Knob Creek, but I'm glad I got this. I've been drinking mostly Rittenhouse rye lately anyways; good to switch it up
What was the question...??

Cocaine...even 90% pure coke.
I get the feeling the social "party" drug aspect of it is why its so popular..
I never got that great of a buzz off it..than again, stimulants aren't really ma thing.

I disagree. I respect people for never trying drugs. There's enough to do in life besides drugs to last a life time.
