For the record I fully agree with decriminalization, I just don't think a synthetic experimental drug researched by the CIA in mind control experiments is safe.

I fully respect the fact that others have had many positive or religious experiences with it. I've also read that people with ASD already have elevated lysergamides in our brains, possibly related to our visual thinking tendencies.

:shrug: People should be able to experiment as long as nobody's hurting each other. I've seen some different stuff.

But there is still some way to go if they consider LSD - which is even less harmful than marijuana - a hard drug.


I don't really think you know what LSD does.


Care to enlighten us?
It connects people to the spirit world.

I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm saying experiences differ.

Why? Did they find evidence he didn't commit tax evasion? :lol:
Because we know the government officials were hoarding the liquor for their buddies and themselves. The prohibition was horses**t.

So the DEA might have kept all that weed they have been confiscating throughout the years.... And now they're going to sell it?

Sure, why not? That'll probably cover a decade's worth of federal deficits...


Who wants to buy 30 year old weed? :?
Age gives it extra flavor.

I support full legalization of marijuana nationwide, but I do disagree with decriminalizing the hard stuff. They’re just too dangerous.

Even so, the focus should be on destroying supplies, not busting users.

Portugal decriminalized everything except for crack cocaine about 20 years ago. In that time violent crime, non-violent crime, theft, burglary, addiction rates, and usage rates, have gone down significantly.

Hard drugs are dangerous and have no benefits that I am aware of.
Psychedelics have irreparably damaged some minds.
If there is value in psychedelics, it is in guided therapy.
None of this is safe to use for fun, and if freely accessible, people will be hurt.
