    Considering (legal low dose) edibles are the first drug I ever tried, including alcohol, I would disagree. I don't know what the common definition of hard drug is but to me it means one that has some level of toxicity or otherwise physical danger to it. If you smoke or eat too much weed the worst thing that happens is you'll have a panic attack and feel really shitty, but it won't physically hurt you

      I would still say the odds of an unprelared person doing that well and having agood time are low enough it should be considered under a seperate level of precautions as just chuffing a doink.

        I think you're also assuming that the edible would be a really high dose, in which case would downing an entire bottle of vodka at once be considered a hard drug too? The only difference I see is that eating a brownie with a lot more weed than expected is easier than drinking a bunch of alcohol if you don't like the taste...

          It is difficult to controll dosege without special skills. Similar you just don't give people hard alcohol without checking. You can give anyone a beer and it's cool.

          You say vodka, specifically that we call hard liquor.

          Dabs, and edibles are hard weed

            Fair enough about the "hard liquor" point, but I still feel like if there's not a significant risk of physical harm it shouldn't really be considered a hard drug (though the person in this thread who got ill from a tiny edible may be a counterpoint to that so ¯_(ツ)_/¯)

        Booze is a hard drug cause if you drink too much you can throw up and you get a headache the next day. Most people don't like headaches or vomitting, normies can't handle that.

          Yes, I would much rather people smoke than drink. Never seen a stones guy wrap his car around a telephone pole. Seen a drunk guy do it.

          Weed is safer and healthier than alcohol. I watched a man drown in his own blood from long term alcoholism. Known plenty of heavy smokers with only the most mild side effects

        Would casu marzu be considered a hard food then since a normie would probably hurl at the sight or taste of it?
