ShouldTemplate:Drugabuse be merged here?Anxietycello (talk)22:55, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No I think that's more of a topicbox that normally goes at the top-right of the page. It's a separate template. --œ^™14:49, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is LSD considered a "major" recreational drug? Should LSD be removed, or mushrooms added?Mushrooms are more common.^[1] Also, what about includingEthnomycology? - Steve3849^talk21:08, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ethno-whut? That's the first I've heard of the term.. So it could be good for informational purposes to add it.. but on the other hand maybe unpopular items don't belong in a navbox.

And yes of course LSD is considered a major recreational drug, next most popular to weed.. in the 60's anyway. That reference is referring to its current decline in popularity. Overall, historically, LSD is more important (seeWikipedia:Recentism) but I still recommend using that reference in the LSD or Psilocybin article.

Mushrooms? That's a bit more difficult, they ARE quite "major" but I wouldn't say MORE popular than LSD (in a historical context), and I think having one major hallucinogen is enough. --œ^™14:44, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, when I created this template with that (highly debatable) section, I decided to place within it those drugs that have shaped the whole scene most significantly, regardless of era. It was never intended to be what drugs are used most currently (ketamine is big in the UK, andkhat is huge in the arab world). I guess mushrooms would fit, having been used for millenia. Not totally sure about ethnomycology; I guess it could go in the culture section?Anxietycello (talk)19:02, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd add the mushrooms, leave out the ethnomycology. --œ^™11:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed alcohol to Ethyl alcohol, ecstasy to MDMA, Mushrooms to Psilocybin mushrooms, and Meth to Methamphetamine. Try not to use shorthand names and slang name (i.e "meth" and "ecstasy")Sincerally,C6541(T↔C) at21:38, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really think it's necessary to include bothAmphetamine andMethamphetamine? --œ^™23:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they are two different chemicals, methamphetamine being the methylated form of amphetamine. They posses different biological effects and both have been widely used.Sincerally,C6541(T↔C) at07:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really keep this template clean and simple, it is an eye sore with some of the recent formatting.C6541(T↔C)08:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Enough toying around with it. As it is there's plenty of information available for any reader to easily find their specific topic of interest without having to include every single drug or variation. --œ^™20:59, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You guys stop edit warring over this. See the article onMDMA, it can easily fit in both categories, it doesn't really matter. It's both a hallucinogen and a stimulant, neither is more apt than the other. --œ^™00:17, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under "Drug culture" > "Other", alongside "Drug paraphernalia" seems its natural home. The items in "Issues with drug use" are more concerned with side-effects and consequences.Cabayi (talk)08:01, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that a typo "illegi" is showing up on multiple Wikipedia articles that use a particular template. This error seems to stem from changes made to the "Drug use" template. The problematic text is part of a code snippet that looks like this: "<nowiki>illegi{{#invoke:Navbox with collapsible groups|navbox<nowiki></nowiki" This issue can be traced back to two specific edits made by user Tsavage:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Drug_use&diff=prev&oldid=1235413620
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Drug_use&diff=prev&oldid=1235494037

To resolve this, the "illegi" text needs to be removed from the template. This would correct the error across all affected articles simultaneously. It would be helpful if@Tsavage: or another editor with the necessary permissions could make this correction to the template.

Dear editors,

In the "Legality of drug use" section, under "Drug policyby country", please add "China", "Laos", "Philippines", "Poland", "Romania", "South Korea", and "UK".

You may refer toTemplate:Drug policy nav, which is organized by continents, appearing clearer and easier to read.

Thanks a lot for your contribution!
