In another thread I mentioned that I would try LSD or mushrooms if they were legal.
What would you do if there were no law against it? (Please do not post on how to skirt the law, as it breaks board rules.)

Public nudity.
Beating the living bejeezers out of some people.
Well, maybe not - but it’d be nice to have as an option.
To be honest, I do most things I want to do whether they’re legal or not. That’s not to say I break the law lots, because there’s not much that I want to do that’s illegal.
I’ve tried the drugs I wanted to try, regardless of their legality. The ones I haven’t tried, I wouldn’t try even if they were legal.
The reason I don’t do “bad stuff” like killing people or stealing stuff is just basic human morality, nothing to do with the law.
That said, public nudity would be fun.
I would smoke marijuana. I made the decision long ago to drink because it was legal, but now being diabetic, the glycemic index of alcohol pretty much keeps me from drinking [that and the pain meds…] but the nausea combatting facet would be nice also.
Id like to try synthetic mescaline as well.
Drive a fast car on an empty motorway.
Cultivating and consuming cannabis. Combined with that nudity thing. About 25 years ago, a friend told me about running around naked in a field of pot. Apparently, they absorbed the active ingredient through their skin and he considered it an experience worth repeating should the opportunity ever arise again. I’d be willing to plant up an acre and try it, to add to the sum of human knowledge, of course.
(Said in a George Carlin tone on voice): D-d-r-r-u-u-u-g-g-g-s-s! ! !
I can’t do any interesting drugs, obviously. I live in Indonesia and frequently travel to Singapore.
Actually, I’m not sure if I would anyway. (LSD, peyote, ecstasy, amphetamines, qualudes - none of that interests me anyway, just mary-jer-wanna). But it would be nice to have the option.
I’d drive with an open container of alcohol. One beer is not going to intoxicate me, but it would taste damn good after a hard week of work, driving home on a Friday afternoon.
I would probably develop a coke habit. Best for me that it’s illegal, to be honest, because when I have tried it in the past, I’ve enjoyed it way too much.
I would still drive after having consumed between 2 and 3 pints of beer because I don’t believe it impairs my driving despite statistical evidence from the population as a whole. This is a moral issue in the UK, as well as a legal one though - it’s like 90% of the country are members of MADD - so I’d still suffer the approbation and ostracisation of my peers and probably not do it in the end. Also, I could be a typically deluded idiot, because I believe lots of people think they’re the ones who wouldn’t be impaired.
Drinking aside, I would cruise at about 100mph on motorways.
Best of all, I would smoke in pubs!
Either you guys have much better bodies than I or you don’t care - but I’m damn glad to keep mine covered… The scars alone would scare little children.
•Host to-the-death Gladiator matches.
•Arrange for, in the event of my death, my body to be skeletonized, and the bones wired and articulated into a scary pose, and propped up against a window. (Tasteful urn my ass)
•Stockpile machine guns. I don’t really want to stockpile machine guns, it just kind of pisses me off that I can’t.
•Take the ashtray-sized chunk of Hitler’s skull that the Russians still have in their archives, mount it in a mobile urinal, and go on a tour of Israeli beaches, charging 10¢ a whizz (Holocaust survivors go free). A lot of the profits would come from the beer/concession truck.
Would 1 and 3 actually be illegal now? (Assuming the Russians gave you the chunk o’ headbone, of course.)
(PS: I don’t think they have cents in Israel)
Actually, it’s neither. I’d probably do it just for the unusual experience of being ugly and naked, in public.
I would rip those little tags off of mattresses. Rip em right off!
I hate those little fuckers.
I would swim topless. I have in private pools with friends and I have to say, the sensation of cool water on my naked chest is delightful.
I would also smoke weed from time to time, especially during that one “special” week of every month when I’m suffering from debilitating cramps and back aches.
I would from time to time, dine on psylocibin mushrooms. I used to quite a bit in my early 20’s but pretty much outgrew the whole hippie drug culture. It just didn’t fit in to my life anymore. But it would be nice, on occasion to down a few while out camping in the summertime.
I would kick my ex out of the house we own together and change the locks.
I would like to occasionally come home on a Friday night and sit in the back yard and smoke pot instead of having a drink. Not that I have a drink every Friday night, or every night, but I have a drink or three once in a while. I’d like to have the option of smoking pot once in a while instead. I suppose if I tried hard enough, I could do so now, but it’s illegal, I don’t socialise with anyone who does illegal drugs, soft or hard, and since it’s illegal, my husband would be very upset with me. So I don’t.
But if it were legal, I would like to occasionally smoke some pot.
I’d smoke pot, probably weekly, maybe more. Well, no, let me alter that. I would ingest pot. Smoking makes me hack up a lung, so I’d probably bake it into something.
The fact that it’s illegal wouldn’t necessarily stop me now (hell, it didn’t stop me when I was younger!) but my hubby works a federal job, and wants to move into one that requires a higher security clearance. The damage that me, getting caught with an illegal substance, could do to his potential career, is not worth the risk.
Also, were it legal, I’d probably have pummeled my oldest kid until she was bruised, at least once. Never felt the need to do that with my other two kids, but damn that girl knows how to push my buttons! Probably best for both of us that it’s not legal.
I’d be more open about letting my middle daughter drink. She doesn’t drink much (or at least, not that I know of), but she enjoys and occasional Mike’s Hard Lemonade or glass of girly-wine. I don’t see the harm, and let her have it. But I’m pretty careful about who’s around when it happens.
In keeping with the pot and the under-21 drinking, I’d probably host parties for her friends, too. I’d rather have them partying here, where I can keep an eye on them. . .(from a discreet, non-buzzkill distance, of course).
Nudity in public? Oh, hell no. As it is, I won’t wear sleeveless anything for fear my “bat wings” will shock someone into heart failure, and sleeveless tops are legal. I’m happy as hell I’ve lost all the weight I have, but damn! I’m now a size 16 woman in a size 32 skin, and without clothes. . . :eek:
Stealing, stockpiling explosives, devastating property and some violence.
To be more specific, I would steal a lot of explosives and go around the city blowing up fugly pieces of architecture, monuments, billboards and such.
Also, I would buy (or steal) cattle prod and proceed with zapping people obstructing way, lighting cell-phone displays in movie theater, talking to loud in libraries and being jerk in any way. They deserve it.
Drugs. (I’m seeing a wee bit of a trend, here.) Only natural stuff, but everything I’ve ever tried was fun, and there are a few I haven’t come across. If there were no legal repurcussions, the instant the kids moved out I’d be permanently enshroomed.
