BBC Drug Quiz

[enquirewithin]

Have a go at this quiz. Shame on you if you get less than 100%!

There's more to life than drink, drugs and rock 'n' roll, and if you think you know all there is to know about drugs, then we want to put you to the test.

I got an 8 out of 10 But in my defense im an American and have no knowledge of the liscensing act of 1964 and blow here means cocaine not marijuana.

[KorSare]

yes, the "Blow" question screwed me over as well.

[enquirewithin]

Yeah-- 'blow' is British slang!

[old hippie 56]

Swim got 9 out of 10, cheated by reading the posts about blow. Missed the one about DWIs

[redpoppy]

"You scored 10 out of 10.
You certainly know your drugs, and you know that knowledge is the key to staying safe when confronted with drugs in modern culture."

I also cheated by reading this thread first. I would have put Blow as cocaine otherwise, even though I'm from the UK, only time I've ever heard it being used is in reference to the Jonny Depp film (about cocaine).

Three questions were educated guesses.

Could be wrong, but A Certain Mouse tells me he thinks 'blow' is a bit more of a Northern thing so far as this bit of slang goes - he's rarely heard it in the South. In fact, he says he rarely hears it at all these days.

Again, 10/10 - the next Drugs Czar, according to the blurb. Bwaa-haa-haa-haaahhh!

Not.

[Jimmeh]

10/10, go me!!!

It was ridiculouosly easy.

[matti_2003]

10/10, Swim too would have put cocaine for blow

[Abrad]

Blow is sometimes used as slang for hash where SWIM is.

"You scored 10 out of 10.

Yeh twas easy for us northern uk people

[bewilderment]

I somehow managed a 10/10 (I guessed at a few) though admittedly I saw the first two or three threads saying the answer pertaining to "blow" otherwise I'd have answered cocaine since I'm in the US.

There's a neat, in-depth drug-knowledge test here (it has some United States-related questions), if anyone likes these: http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?te...57432328721365

I only scored a 75% on that one, would've thought I could've done a bit better :/

That was quite enjoyable, a far better test.

Congratulations! Your drug knowledge is second to none. You should set up shop on a mountaintop somewhere and let pilgrims ask you one question after walking 1,000 miles to see you. This test contained many little-known drug facts, and you got nearly all of them right. With that kind of drug knowledge, you are bound to be the next Timothy Leary, Albert Hofmann, Terence McKenna, or Alexander Shulgin. So go get high and celebrate the fact that you just kicked everyone's ass with your unbelievable drug knowledge! If you'd like to know the answer to one of the questions, or tell me how amazing this test was, send me a message.

[Fantasian]

As above

Was pretty fun

[IHrtHalucingens]

I got a 75% as well. Those number questions got me. Like how many psychoactive cacti are there.


Otherwise fun i love these little quizzes!! Maybe we should have a thread in each drug category with extensive quizzes on that particular class/substance. Made by users here with a little more knowledge than some random guy on the internet. With of course more in depth question needing more than a basic understanding of drugs in general. i think that would be fun. And it could give folks credit/ or discredit them, as a source of good information pertaining to different substances.

[matti_2003]

Swim got 40 out of 40 There was a couple that he wasn't totally sure on but made an educated guess. IHrtHalucingens i think the Ritalin question was something like "which drug is Ritalin most similar to" or something along those lines.

[Nagognog2]

I got a 40/40 also. Then they said I was 92%. I wonder what they're smoking. Hope they send lots of spam to my phony email! Hehehehe!!

[bewilderment]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the number ones got me as well...I wish they had some sort of a key at the end so I could go back to see what I'm missing, but I suppose I could always go through and cheat using erowid and find out

[IHrtHalucingens]

Nagagnog you might be in the 92 percentile for people of your gender and age. Although with a 40/40 there must be alot of people in your demographic that got 40/40's. Thats the only way i can see you getting a perfect score and being told something about 92%. But what do i know?

[psyche]

Yep, got 40/40 too, altough there were some that wasn't sure about. Hated the questions "how many species there's something" but apparently they went fine. You don't often see tests this good.

I was quite sure that it was something like 4-Hydroxyl-DMT(bufotenine) wich is found in toads though... still went for 5-Meo-DMT 'cause there weren't better alts.

oh my bad, didn't get 40/40 and there was some problems in server

Ok sorry about flooding but as a newbie again I have no edit button. So I got 82% which is a little disappointment.

[enquirewithin]

Nice one-- a bit harder-- only 80%. I have no ldea about US drug laws and schedules, apparently.

[Micklemouse]

Again, 80%, but kinda rushed through it, & didn't cheat. Where are the answers though? Would've liked to know which ones A Certain Mouse got wrong...

Not a bad little quiz though.

[Alicia]

40/40 ! all it shows that swia is a drug geek, damn erowid for being so friendly and cosy lol

[a-SalviaLover]

I answered them, too. The test was rather easy and except for the first question if you think a bit more logicslly you can always exclude the wrong answers. You either have to be completely out of touch with drugs or you have to be very stupid to fail it.

[psyche]

There's also another quite quality drug test about chemistry and pharmakology where I got 80%.
