Origin of cigarette flipping
IV drug users often use part of the filter of a cigarette to filter their mix. This cigarette was then placed back into the packet upside down to hide the fact that the filter had been torn. Also the reason it may have been named a lucky cigarette is that the user had got lucky and scored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.176.3.18 (talk) 23:32, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

LSD Water
Is All-lies.com a good citation for LSD Water?

A disclaimer at the bottom of every page on that site says the following: "All information on this site is, to the best of our knowledge, false.  If any significant true information has slipped through, we apologize.  Contents © 2005–2012 so don't go spreading our lies without permission."

Name and scope of the article
"Illegal drugs" as a term is too ethnocentric and chronosentric to use in encyclopedia since illegality is defined by place and time in history and it's inconsistent even contemporarily since many countries have already decriminalised use and small amounts of posession of illegal drugs and Urugay will soon make cannabis a governement controlled industry. The term "illegal drugs" is getting inconsistent fast so it should be replaced with something more universal like "psychoactive drugs". Also why limit the scope of the article to so called illegal drugs when it would we educational to deal also with misconseptions about alcohol and tobacco. --Custoo (talk) 17:24, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Designer drugs also pose a problem with the title since they may not be yet illegal or might be illegal in one country but not in another one. My personal opinion is that as new substabces they are even more susceptible to misconseption because study in to their effects in humans has hardly begun while media gets a field day on any negative event involing them without waiting for toxicology reports.

On the issue of the title of this article I would also like to refer to recent decission to remove category Illegal drugs on similar arguments.--Custoo (talk) 21:15, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Military recruitment of LSD users.
I was discharged from the US Air Force for pre-service LSD use in 1972. I added the link to Air Force recruiting regulations. I cannot speak on the other services.

Urban legends or weird but factual stories?
Urban_legends_about_drugs appears to be the latter. Should it be removed? zzz (talk) 08:53, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
