first of all, i know more about E than most people
.
you can't actually die directly as a result from the drug. you can only die either by being stupid and not drinking or drinking too much and hence drowning your own body form the inside. (no such thing as water poisoning unless there is actualy poison in the water
)
in either case i don't consider it to be hardcore.
as for LSD, it's in between, it has long term effects like flashbacks and stuff and supposedly it leaves a "scar" on your brain *shrug* haven't double checked on that. but neither of those drugs are addictive and that's what makes them not hardcore in my opinion.
