Teira: there are far more legal recreational drugs than the three stated

A drug is a is a substance which has an effect on the body or mind. This may be a positive effect in the case of medicines or negative as is the case with most illegal drugs.
==Illegal drugs==
Illegal drugs are drugs that the government has declared to be illegal. This is often based on a perception, true or otherwise, that such substances can potentially cause damage to a person's [[brain]] and other organs. Equally there is concern about the fact that most drugs cause [[addiction]]. There is much debate over the legalization of drugs, people on both ends of the political spectrum are advocating for some drugs to be legalized while others on both ends are advocating for tougher penalties for possession of drugs. Some new age [[hippies]] believe drugs can separate one's body from one's soul, and native Americans believe drugs allow one to talk to trees; current research <ref>http://www.psych.uiuc.edu/~bhidalgo/litreview.htm</ref> in neuroscience has shown that psychedelic drugs can be used to induce religious experiences <ref>http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health_medical/article1171389.ece</ref>.

Those in favor of legalizing drugs often argue that the negative social consequences, including gang warfare and the permeation of dangerously impure substances, are more to do with their prohibition than the drugs themselves. Indeed, before the criminalization of heroin in the UK it was no more than a trivial medical problem <ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4647018.stm</ref>. Opponents of criminalization also point to the [[Prohibition]] experiment in the USA, where the illegality of alcohol caused problems of gang warfare and unsupervised distilleries that made worse the very problem that prohibition was intended to solve.

Further difficulties arise when various drugs are made illegal for political reasons; the most prominent of which being the illegalization of [[hemp]] to make way for the tree pulp industry. <ref>http://www.ylana.com/hempartc.htm</ref>

==Legal recreational drugs==
A small number of drugs are legally tolerated in Western democracies. Examples include [[alcohol]], [[nicotine]] and [[caffeine]], whereas other drugs which have less adverse affect on the body, such as [[ecstacy]], are banned due to their social stigma.

Jurassic

Teira:

{{stub}} According to some geologists, the '''Jurassic''' epoch (period of time) dated from 199 million years ago to 145 million years ago. It came after the [[Triassic]] and before the [[Cretaceous]] Period. It is widely agreed upon that 'some geologists' are entirely incorrect, as the universe did not exist 199 million years ago.

[[Sauropods]] such as [[Diplodocus]] were supposedly common during this period.

Teira: updated to remove liberal bias.

A barn is a building usually used in agriculture to house [[animals]] (such as [[cows]], [[pigs]], [[goats]], [[chickens]], etc.) or store [[hay]] or other crops.

Barns can be found in every state and are usually located on farms. Nomenclature varies, but barns are sometimes refered to as [[outbuildings]] or [[sheds]].

The concept of a barn is unique to the [[Christian]] [[Faith]]. No other religious texts document the usage of a barn.
