IIRC, LSD was legal in California until sometime in 1967. And it was quite commonly used in Hollywood back in the 1950s and early ‘60s.

Got to hit rock bottom for a self induced recovery. Just another step in splitting into 8 states.

I’ve seen the future, I can’t afford it
Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it
Say mr. whispers! Here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjacks - gonna build us a paradise
Larger than life and twice as ugly
If we have to live there, you’ll have to drug me

I am so glad I don’t live in California. I refuse to even visit that state.

Drugs and Democrats. California now can proceed to become Heaven on Earth. No conservatives to get in the way or to blame.

Imagine for a moment what the California legislature would do if they wanted to hurt desperate people and harm their state . . .

Unlike Marijauna, alcohol etc psychedelics, mostly psilocybin, have great potential for therapeutic use. Over 50 universities have research projects towards its benefits in stopping drug and alcohol addiction, PTSD and many mental disorders.

The catch is that it is SUPERVISED USE not the type stuff sold on the streets

Hmmmm, let's see, they've already legalized robbery and common assault.. So, maybe just tickets and fines for murder and mayham.??

And heroin and marijuana and cocaine have legitimate medical applications in limited contexts.

Even alcohol (which I eschew) has medicinal value. Even the Bible acknowledges it: Prov 31:6-7: Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

But when any of the above become available recreationally, humans become addicted. And legislators who legalize such are irresponsible pimps and whores sacrificing civilization for their own job security.

But for "the other side of the story", we'll shortly see FR's own degenerate addicts (libertarians) show up to defend vending machine narcotics.

Of course I could also say the same about high-carb foods. We know that carbs are very addictive as well, and one of the reasons for the obesity crisis. But the Food Industry and their Government cohorts still push a High-Carb/Low-Fat diet.
