Edit: ha ha. The cdc.gov type URLs means government sites. As in center for disease control, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Census Bureau, etc.
My $.02 is that government should not govern morality. Do what you want on your own property just dont drive on public streets under the influence of anything that can impair judgement. Im a christian by religious definition but I hate republicans and democrats the same. I like to clarify that since most people lump Christian and republican together as synonyms
I love how some that never took this substance thinks they know everything about it because they googled... LMAO!
Well, you know that I have done my share and am overall am in favor of removing the illegal and immoral stigma surrounding hallucinogens, but to act as if there is no danger is also incorrect. Just because I have never shot heroin doesnt mean I can't google it and provide a long list of reasons why one should stay away from heroin, and likewise those who have not dropped acid can still offer their opinion. It's a more complicated issue that most people realize. There are true and tangible pros to using hallucinogens. But there are also drawbacks and potential pitfalls, especially for those who are fragile mentally or emotionally. For those who believe they have a good grasp on reality, I think it's extremely healthy to venture into other portions of our consciousness.
They accept the hype, because they fear actually experiencing life (learning). (Fox News or MSNBC devotees are great examples of this head in the sand approach to life.).
But people do opiates and some are very quite "legal". Anyone take codeine? How about morphine? The reason why is the government can tax it. This is the very same reason why pot ain't legal in most parts of the world. In fact opiates cause major liver issues with over use. I haven't seen a physical health problem with LSD. None... I do agree that idiots can use it and fuck up their day. But doesn't anything?
Alcohol, maxiep's drug of choice, kills 3.3 million people a year just from consumption. Considering that only 38% of the world drinks alcohol the number would be around 8 million a year if we all drank it. Then add accidental falls, suicides, and car accident victims of drunk drivers. Then take your hypocrisy about illegal drugs and shove it up your ass.
You missed my point with me bringing up heroin, I could have said meth or caffeine. My point is just that people can have opinions on meth (or anything) without having done it. Googling and reading up on it is a good place to start. The problem comes in where people only read the portions that affirm their current view. So reading propaganda site material is not the best information. As far as what side effects exist, I have had a few minor ones myself, like tripping for over a day once, and having very mild flashbacks ever now and then for a couple years after I stopped. But my brother had a friend who committed suicide while on LSD although she had tried once before, so I don't blame the acid. Also, I have read conflicting info regarding the increased progression of schizophrenia, but that could be a big issue if it runs in your family.
Missing the point is deliberate, apparently. The assumptions being made about who has or hasn't done LSD is humorous at best. And the attack on your brilliant and true post is amusing. I haven't once said it should be outlawed. I question if repeated use is harmful. It certainly might be seen as reckless behavior - like would you expect to get hired if you say you dropped LSD two days ago in the job interview? Or if you told your employer you needed a day or two to recover from a trip? Smh.
Man you know, after overcoming several drugs of choice, it doesn't take a full blown genius to know you don't need another to battle. The message is clear, once you can see it, no one needs some shit to fuck yourself up, the trick is to learn the lesson, the sooner the better.
If I were stoned, I might perceive you as a fence-sitter or tightrope walker, spitting down only on my side while claiming to be neutral, quoting right-wing websites while excusing them because they have a .gov suffix. I'd see an emperor with no clothes, fooling no one. You are talking to LSD experts and telling us we're wrong by quoting government propaganda written by LSD virgins like yourself. Instead of trying to command the ship with no sailing experience, begin your know-it-all career at the bottom of the mast, not the top. See how I use symbolism, allegory, and word pictures? Practice your poetry if you want to be a fake LSD expert.
