Many of the drugs mentioned here are illegal (and if they're not, they probably are illegal if they're not supplied to you by prescription).
That means that you can be fined or arrested for possession of drugs, possession of used drug paraphernalia (such as a marijuana pipe, bong or roach clip), and growing, manufacturing, selling or dealing drugs. If you are caught and convicted, you may not be able to travel overseas to the places you want to go (some places won't let people with a criminal record visit), or it may have some bearing on whether or not you get the job you want. Being involved with drugs could also bring you into contact with organised crime and some pretty scary people.
Drug types:
GHB (Gamma-hydroxybutyrate or Sodium Oxybate)
Heroin, Homebake and other Opiates
LSD, Magic Mushrooms and other Hallucinogens
