Well everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine is that I would decriminalize drugs. Except LSD. For LSD I would have those who produced it or sold it executed. There are few drugs that drive people permanently insane after one dose. Producers of those should be killed without mercy.

MARIJUANA is not panning out as the ultimate GOVERNMENTAL CASH COW. Legalizing ACID has a better chance at filling government and pharmaceutical coffers.

There was a story recently about a “feminist man” who was hanging out with some of his feminist buds just having a good time, he ate some shrooms, started getting paranoid and shot a young woman to death before the night was over.

There was a story recently about a guy who got drunk and murdered someone. Actually, prisons are full of guys who got drunk and murdered someone.

The most accurate depiction I’ve seen of LSD in any movie ever is the scene in Harvard Man with Adam Grenier and gobbles down a bunch of Harvard avid and proceeds to have a very strong and uncomfortable trip

It was a silly movie but the visual melting panorama and the runaway internal dialogue was very accurate

>>Mine is that I would decriminalize drugs.

I generally agree with Wm F. Buckley - legalize everything and impose the death penalty on anyone who supplies drugs like LSD to minors.

Let the Darwin Awards begin.

I take it you've never tried LSD.

Acid will never be a popular recreational drug like marijuana is. It's just too powerful. You can smoke some weed and go about your day. Typically, not on acid. Whereas people smoke marijuana daily, LSD is a "once or twice a year" type of experience. Furthermore, there's no great public movement to legalize it.

As far as cash cows are concerned, Colorado sold $1.3 billion in marijuana last year. That's pretty significant.

The trip scenes in “Easy Rider” are very accurate.

You and me both

The main issue was worrying every light behind you was the cops

We had a friend who broke his leg karate kicking one night when we were tripping

We had to take him to the emergency room

Now that was a trying experience

Best environment was camping at a lake or the beach

This is from the hufpost, a useless leftist rag founded by a hateful shrew. Anybody who takes Psychedelic Mushrooms or LSD needs to be thrown in jail and forced to work to pay for the cost of incarceration.

Obviously won’t happen, since the left needs all the voters it can get. (people on Psychedelic Mushrooms or LSD don’t vote, but other democrats happily vote for them, two or three times.)

Been There...Done That. God was watching over me.

There was a time I did more Mushrooms & acid by accident than most people did on purpose.

It’s a life style choice Not to be recommended.

My recruiter looked me in the eye and said, "Just remember, 'no' means Navy Opportunities!"

Are you butthurt over something I posted? Don't take it personally.

Drop some acid.

Then try to drive a car.

I did just that, many years ago.

A friend and I were tripping pretty good and decided to go for a drive. The speed limit was 25, but I barely got above 10. My friend kept telling me to go faster or we would get pulled over.

I got up to 15 a couple of times but that was way too fast.

After a while, I needed to turn around so I pulled into someone's driveway, drove across their yard and down their neighbor's driveway back to the street. It didn't occur to that was odd until some time later after we had returned home.

Works for me.
