President Joe Biden’s youngest brother said in a radio interview Wednesday that the president has been “very open-minded” in conversations the two have had about the benefits of psychedelics as a form of medical treatment.
Frank Biden made the comments during a call into The Michael Smerconish Program on SiriusXM. The host had just interviewed a Wall Street Journal reporter who recently wrote about powerful Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and employees who believe the use of psychedelics and similar substances can help lead to business breakthroughs.

Frank Biden added that he had “done a great deal of research” on the issue “because I’m a recovering alcoholic for many, many years.”
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Some researchers believe psilocybin, the compound in psychedelic mushrooms, changes the way the brain organizes itself and can help users overcome things like depression, alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder. A drug that’s related to the anesthetic ketamine was cleared by the FDA to help people with hard-to-treat depression.
But medical experts caution that more research is needed on the drugs’ efficacy and the extent of the risks of psychedelics, which can cause hallucinations. …

How could you tell?
The brother is exaggerating. Biden said LSD isn’t half the high of sniffing a sixth grader.

Yeah?
How is he on prison food?
My opinion is that we are on the cusp of a consciousness that needs to be brought about to solve a lot of the problems in and around addiction, but as importantly, to make us aware of the fact that we’re all one people and we’ve got to come together.”
I remember this type of blather from the ‘60s. Back to the land, man.
The BIDEN CRIME FAMILY is ONE SICK CARTEL!!
At least most psychedelics don’t have a disgusting odor, unlike the pot smell that pollutes every street corner in NYC.
This week or at least very recently, the news from Russia speaks of a a kleptocracy, a nation ruled by kleptocrats.
The word applies in America even more. The Biden family is a family of Kleptocrat’s.
In the case of Joe, “open-minded” means a hole in the head.
Biden is so open-minded that his mind actually just fell out.
The Onion?
Well, that could be the problem with Puddin’ Head. Ok, one of the problems.
A guy who has had CHUNKS of his already pea-sized brain cut our due to aneurysms, should not be making decisions on mind altering drugs, or ANYTHING for that matter!
