From the NORML Summer Tour '92 Newsletter... Amsterdam Holland Drug Classifications And Potential Model For The United States ----------------------------------------- Ultra-hard drugs: heroin, crack Hard drugs: morphine, cocaine, phencydeline, methadone, pethidene Medium-hard drugs: amphetamines, barbituates, LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, chemical solvents, absinthe Medium-soft drugs: opium, hashish, khat, coca, tobacco, distilled alcohol Soft drugs: cannabis, fermented alcohol, peyote, hallucinogenic mushrooms, codeine, tranquilizers Ultra-soft drugs: tea, coffee, chocolate -------- Now, I think this is a fairly good set-up, but I have one problem with it: LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin seen as medium-hard drugs, when peyote and 'shrooms are categorized as soft. Aren't the effects of the raw forms similar to the effects of the extracted or synthesized psychedelics? -- Chris
