== Stand-alone lists ==
Does anyone mind if I make stand-alone lists and link to them in the article instead of having these lengthy lists that take up so much main article space?

:Probably not a bad idea. I spun off [[List of designer drugs]] from its main article since the list was growing large. Are you proposing [[List of recreational drugs]]? My only concern is such a list could become extremely large as more and more obscure substances are added. [[User:Sizeofint|Sizeofint]] ([[User talk:Sizeofint|talk]]) 07:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
::True, but at least it wouldn't be an extremely long list in the middle of the article. I haven't really thought this all the way through yet. Right now at least, they wouldn't be too too long if there were lists named after the subsections, like... [[List of popular recreational drugs]], [[List of routes of administration (recreational drugs)]], etc. Some already exist, like [[List of psychedelic plants]]. We should add [[List of designer drugs]]. I just did ctrl F "design" and that word isn't even in the article at all apparently. I bet lists like the one for psychedelic plants will need to be synched with what's in the article, so only keeping them as stand-alone lists would help that problem. As a "class" of drugs gets longer, it could get its own spin off list similar to [[List of designer drugs]]. I think it's ok if there's overlap, like [[synthetic cannabinoids]] might be on both [[List of designer drugs]] and [[List of cannabinoids]]. I'm just thinking out loud. Tbh, I haven't even finished scrolling through the entire article yet, because it's so long.

:::Just came across this long list [[List of ethnic slurs]] and thought the layout could be good for recreational drugs too. It's like a glossary list format.

:::There is also [[List of psychedelic drugs]] already. [[User:Sizeofint|Sizeofint]] ([[User talk:Sizeofint|talk]]) 00:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
:::: Oh man, there's also: [[List of psychoactive plants]], [[List of plants used for smoking]], and [[Drugs controlled by the UK Misuse of Drugs Act]] (which is really a list article). I think I might have hit the end finally, maybe. I'm putting them here to keep track, because I had too many tabs open.

:::::I don't know if going into the legal status lists is necessary. It would probably be easier to link to [[drug prohibition law]] which should then link to relevant articles/lists. [[User:Sizeofint|Sizeofint]] ([[User talk:Sizeofint|talk]]) 19:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::I'm thinking maybe the common recreational drug list could stay in the main article if the others had their own list articles. This is my first draft: [[Talk:Recreational_drug_use/Druglist]]. Anyone can feel free to edit as you like. A few of the lists were already tagged as needing sources, so I left that. '''<font color="indigo">[[User:Permstrump|PermStrump]]</font>'''<font color="steelblue"></font>
:::::::Yes, that seems reasonable. [[User:Sizeofint|Sizeofint]] ([[User talk:Sizeofint|talk]]) 19:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::::I'm thinking the prose of "Types of recreational drugs" should be a part of the main article. We could then link to [[List of stimulants]], [[List of depressants]] etc. [[Template:Recreational drug use]] may be helpful for assembling the lists. [[User:Sizeofint|Sizeofint]] ([[User talk:Sizeofint|talk]]) 19:48, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::::: And delete the prose from list page, like this... [[Talk:Recreational drug use/Types of recreational drugs]]? I only did the first couple because I wasn't sure if that's what you meant.

Yes, that's along the lines of what I'm thinking. [[User:Sizeofint|Sizeofint]] ([[User talk:Sizeofint|talk]]) 03:33, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
==Legality should not be mentioned in this article ==
This article is about recreational drug use not legality. Statements like "caffeine: A legal drug, often" and "A legal drug contained in tobacco leaves" are controversial. Caffeine is illegal in many parts of the world including some LDS isolated communities. in The country of Bhutan, Tobacco use is punishable by 3-5 years in jail.
