Governments around the world consider mushrooms and LSD to be among the most dangerous illicit substances, but a new survey of drug users suggests that these psychedelics are actually some of the safest.

Some people know how to accentuate the experience, while others find the journey difficult to maneuver. That’s too bad.

The safest drugs, except when you decide to fly out windows.

Observing a sunrise while navigating though the winding mountain roads in southwest Pennsylvania was breathtaking.

Love all the opinions by people who never actually experienced L, heh heh, and by the way, it is NOT SAFER.

Window Pane, Orange Barrel, Purple Microdot, Blotter, sugar cubes, Chocolate Mescaline, Mushrooms, HEH HEH circa 1970.

“...marijuana users are likely to use heroin or other more potent substances.”

Cool story. Too bad there’s no real scientific data to validate this long debunked claim.

I began using cannabis at age 54 in Feb 2015 for medicinal reasons. As I’ve posted in numerous threads previously, I thank God in Heaven every day for this wonderful plant. I have a set schedule of use & very rarely deviate from that. I have zero interest in crap like Heroin or “other more potent substances”.

I know many other folks who use cannabis medicinally. Like me these are people who never used cannabis after their early 20’s or at all. None of them to my knowledge have ever had an interest in harder drugs nor have they used them.

Reefer Madness was & remains a lie. The BS prohibitionists spew today hasn’t changed though. Thankfully, via anecdotal evidence & studies from Israel (who has an excellent medical cannabis program for their elderly) pretty much all the “reefer madness” BS has been throughly debunked & proven to be false, IMO.

>>No problems on the SoCal Freeways or desert roads.

How'd the Beemer and Triumph handle those rocks in Goler Canyon - Just fly over em' like Charlie "flew" the school bus?

Hell of a place, Death Valley - Undoubedtly even more so for the kids unlucky enough to be trapped there with Chucky and his psychodelic crew.

“The safest drugs, except when you decide to fly out windows.”

Never met someone who decided to fly out of a window before. I’ve read that they existed & hope I never meet one.

I would never classify LSD as a “safe” drug based on my personal experience. Especially past the age of 25. Tripping for 18 to 24 hours or more is hard on a body for a few days after. Just not worth it to me.

It can also be an incredibly powerful, joyful, exhilarating and unforgettable life-altering experience.

Russian roulette with a 38 revolver can give you a similar high. After all, there's only one chance out of six that you'll experience a bad trip that would be a life altering experience..........

I tripped 3 times in my life. All before I turned 23. Had a ton of fun & laughed & laughed for many hours. Downside was feeling terribly wiped out for 2-3 days after the high went away. After the last time I decided I didn’t need to experience either ever again.

My father lied about his age to get into the Army during WWII. They discovered it after boot camp and gave him an honorable discharge.

Lying to get into the military? Happens all the time.

A year later he joined the navy with an honorable discharge from the army.

So in other words you lied.

FAIL.

So, let's say sometime in the future some authority person asks you an illegitimate question about something that is none of their business and your future hinged on your answer....

maybe if you have ever owned a firearm or if you have ever used a racial slur....

Would you lie?

Neither of your posts to me address my question. You merely seem very wound up over this topic.
