Please note the extremely long list of drugs listed just below the article. Amazing.

Just a personal addition.  When I was a resident at the UCLA Coop during my graduate study days I remember an undergraduate  chemistry major with the last name, Harrison, who was related to the  US president, William Henry Harrison, who made himself famous for two things: 1. He when bare foot everywhere, even to his chemistry classes, for all four years and only put shoes on for his graduation; 2. He samples every known legal and illegal drug known at the time and wrote about each experience in the Coop newspaper, the Chatter Box. It was a time when I remember the day LSD was made illegal. I don't think he would be able to get through the above, 2015 Irish list alive.
