Do you believe that certain illegal drugs should be either legalised or decriminalised? If so, which ones?
Weed, LSD, shrooms, I almost want to go as far to say all drugs should be decrimalized because of my libertarian political views but I don't have any eminent problems with hard drugs (heroin, meth etc) being illegal.

No

no but I think they both attract the same types of people... so maybe thats a yes?

No, atleast not conciously. I listen to jazz, blues, rap, hardcore, noise etc.

Positive
I think they are often romantisized in film and literature, but not on a real wide scale.

Film and Television Music Visual Art Literature Other (Please specify)
I guess the previous answer is better for this one. I think it film and literature mostly and maybe a little in music
