Popular drugs?

in Drink & Drugs
With a new drugs survey coming out soon I thought I'd quickly pick your brains for a list of commonly used drugs. At various points in the survey we'll have check lists of drugs that being used and want to have a list that pretty much covers how people might answer. There will be an other field on most answers so don't worry about the list including every single drug on the market. As an aside the survey won't look at alcohol or smoking, which is why they don't appear.

So this is the current list - is there anything you think we're missing?

Cannabis
Esctasy
Crack
Cocaine
Heroin
LSD
Speed
Methamphetamine
Solvents
Prescription drugs

    Mushrooms should probably be added, it is the season and its doubtful the law will make any difference.

    Although the difference is actually only in name it might be interesting to find out how many people buy 'speed' and how many 'base'.

    And as a matter of interest, why are you not including alcohol and tobacco?

    Ketamine?

    Is very very common on some areas of the clubbing circuit.

    Is the drug of choice amongst many of my friends.

    Mainly for funding issues and because we have a much more detailed survey looking at issues around binge drinking and health problems planned for early in the new year - also funding issues means I'd rather have a much closer focus on narcotics rather than currently legal recreational drugs.

    Ah yes - fair enough mate! Always slips my mind that K is currently legal!

    Otherwise, can't think of anything to add to your list! :)

    Supply is against the law, and ketamine itself will soon be Class C (for no apparent reason at all).

    PCP is hardly a drug of wide abuse anywhere in the World, let alone in the UK.

    I thought PCP was mainly only in America, never heard of it round here or the UK at all.

    Can't think of anything else to add to your list.

    Done. I always enter these quizes and surveys and I've never won anything. Everyone else seems to win all the time.
