Well I have 2 plants one is almost 3" tall with just 2 rounded leafs and 2 pointy ones, and the other is just now forming the first 2 leafs. I have had the light on all day and night ever since I started the grow, when do I turn them off? . It has been maybe 5 days since I started them in soil. What actual stage am I in now? I have heard of states like VEG,Flower,Bud...Im just wondering what do I do next? Start turning light off in intervals or what? and if so what times are best to ensure the best grow.

I have also heard that you can crush up some sort of pilll in your water when u water them it makes em hallucinogenic. Is there any truth to this and what are ways of making a plant more potent like that?

How long will the grow take til I start seeing buds?

I recommend you goto Barnes and Noble, or your nearest bookstore, goto the gardening section and pick up SeeMoreBuds' 8oz for less than $100. Day by day happenings in the grow cycles. Best $16.95 you'll spend this year! Also goto the GrowFaq up top there, it'll teach ya a few things.

Leave lights on 24h/day until you decide your plants are big enough to flower (normally around 12 inches but whatever, you decide) then do 12h ON / 12h OFF to start the flowering and continue like this until harvest.

How long depends on your strain and conditions but as a rough guide, normally you might veg for 4-6weeks and then flower for 6-8weeks.
