I believe that everyone should try magic mushrooms or peyote at least 1 time in their life.

Have done once...pretty fun, but I wouldn't make it a regular thing, but yeah, it's an experience. I'd add Salvia Divinorum extract to this list.

I believe that people who complain about smokers need to shut the fuck up and mind their own business. I don't hear too many smokers walking around telling non-smokers that they are too fat for their own good or that they shouldn't drive SUVs.

But then, the nonsmokers "habits" don't as directly effect the health of those around them, whereas smoking can. Actually, not ALL smoking, just smoking (I'm sure this sounds unfair, but hey) in public. When you look at it, it's essentially a drug habit that's been made acceptable at large because a lot of people do it, and the govt. ok's in on account of profits...I personally believe that as such, it should be kept to the home and/or away from those that don't have a choice but to breathe it in. A far comparison, but it's almost like if a junkie were to stick you with a needle, and you had no choice in the matter.
The car driving thing isn't really something you can blame the consumers for either, more the companies for not making more environmentally sound products.
That said, my only beef with smokers is that a lot of them are inconsiderate, and consider their "wants" the be all and end all, fuck everybody else. I've said this before, but if one more person lights up right in front of me when I'm exiting a train or bus, they're gonna be spat on. Why? At least they don't have to INHALE my dirty habit.
But, I should point out here that I'm all for smokers only clubs/locations, I think that it's only fair with the eventual banning of public smoking, that if people continue to smoke (which face it, it's not looking like stopping anytime soon, it's their choice), that they should have locations for just that, just as us non-smokers should also.
I think if there's a mutual respect of rights, and the smoker/nonsmoker makes decisions based only on their own health, it's not a big problem. But...it's a mutual respect that has a long way to go yet. EG - If you're a nonsmoker, don't walk into a location/residence primarily occupied by smokers, and complain about it (and no, I'm not referring to "in public in general"), just the same if you're a smoker, don't go into nonsmoking residences and locations, and complain that you can't smoke.

I believe that marijuana should be 100% decriminalized.

Damn straight. We've been through the ol' alcohol/weed thing so many times here, and I still stand by the simplest of arguments - if alcohol is legal with all the health/personality/fatality related issues it causes, weed should be too.
That said, I also believe that everyone that smokes weed ought to at least TRY vaporisation, it's a cleaner, less smelly, healthier, and believe it or not, more effective method.
I believe that cheese is just about one of the greatest culinary inventions ever.
I believe more people should ride bikes/walk, and less people should drive cars. Not only will it help with the lifestyle in general, it helps the environment too...I mean, within reason...you're not gonna walk/ride for AGES, but if it's just to the local shops (as I've seen many a driver do), help yourself and the world, walk or ride it.
I believe that the first person to think eating a potato was a good idea, was a brave person, that made a very great discovery.
I believe that everyone ought to take a little time out of each day to excersize, even if it's just jogging on the spot, doing pushups or the like...as long as it gets your blood and oxygen flow going, it's more'n nothing.
I believe that (especially in this day and age...with all the bullshit you see and hear about) there should be some form of liscensing to have a child/children. There should be means testing, criminal background checks, and mandatory short courses on conflict resolution, anger management, and parenthood in general. It's becoming clear that over half the people that pop out kids these days are either irresponsible as all fuck, or don't have a clue what they're doing...being as that'll only effect the kids in the end, I think parenthood ought to be a privaledge, not a right.
