No I think that's more of a topicbox that normally goes at the top-right of the page. It's a separate template. --

Major?
Is LSD considered a "major" recreational drug? Should LSD be removed, or mushrooms added?
Mushrooms are more common.[1] Also, what about including
Ethnomycology?

Ethno-whut? That's the first I've heard of the term.. So it could be good for informational purposes to add it.. but on the other hand maybe unpopular items don't belong in a navbox.
And yes of course LSD is considered a major recreational drug, next most popular to weed.. in the 60's anyway. That reference is referring to its current decline in popularity. Overall, historically, LSD is more important (see
Wikipedia:Recentism) but I still recommend using that reference in the LSD or Psilocybin article.
Mushrooms? That's a bit more difficult, they ARE quite "major" but I wouldn't say MORE popular than LSD (in a historical context), and I think having one major hallucinogen is enough. --

Yeah, when I created this template with that (highly debatable) section, I decided to place within it those drugs that have shaped the whole scene most significantly, regardless of era. It was never intended to be what drugs are used most currently (
ketamine is big in the UK, and
khat is huge in the arab world). I guess mushrooms would fit, having been used for millenia. Not totally sure about ethnomycology; I guess it could go in the culture section?

I'd add the mushrooms, leave out the ethnomycology. --

Keep drug names "proper"
I've changed alcohol to Ethyl alcohol, ecstasy to MDMA, Mushrooms to Psilocybin mushrooms, and Meth to Methamphetamine. Try not to use shorthand names and slang name (i.e "meth" and "ecstasy") Sincerally,

Yes, they are two different chemicals, methamphetamine being the methylated form of amphetamine. They posses different biological effects and both have been widely used. Sincerally,

Clutter
Really keep this template clean and simple, it is an eye sore with some of the recent formatting. C6541(

Agreed. Enough toying around with it. As it is there's plenty of information available for any reader to easily find their specific topic of interest without having to include every single drug or variation. --

MDMA-Stimulant or Hallucinogen
You guys stop edit warring over this. See the article on
MDMA, it can easily fit in both categories, it doesn't really matter. It's both a hallucinogen and a stimulant, neither is more apt than the other. --

We already discussed it through on our talk pages.

Add Oktoberfest?
I know
beer festival is already on the list, but
Oktoberfest is the biggest one and a huge part of Bavarian (and possibly German in general) culture and it's spread around the world too (I mean there's even a
World of Warcraftholiday based on it, so maybe it should have its own mention?

Not sure where exactly it should go, but it should be on the template somewhere.--

Under "Drug culture" > "Other", alongside "Drug paraphernalia" seems its natural home. The items in "Issues with drug use" are more concerned with side-effects and consequences.

It seems that
Areca catechu is the main species in
Areca that is used as recreational drug. Put Areca catechu instead of Areca to make it more specific?
