  1. Despite the encouraging things you seem to be saying about psychedelics, my personal experience with them hasn't been good. When I was 19, a horrible kid in my dorm slipped a DMT pill on me at a party and I ended up freaking out for most of the night. A few years later, I used mushrooms with some friends on a camping trip. I nearly freaked out again the first time due to some scary hallucinations in which some pickup trucks on the road looked like they were turning into cows! Since then I've avoided hallucinogens and I don't think I'll ever go back, even under medical supervision. I've even hallucinated a few times from edibles, and I didn't enjoy that either! However, if as some research seems to be indicating, hallucinogens turn out to be beneficial to people with severe mental conditions like depression or mania, then I'm all for legalization and medically supervised treatment with these drugs. Meanwhile I'll stick with drugs I feel more comfortable with, like marijuana and alcohol, but mostly life!

  3.  @Ryan88881  Marijuana clearly has different effects on different people. Some people can't handle it, but I can, and as I said above, I don't handle hallucinogens nearly as well, so as they say, to each his own!

  7. A friend of mine recently told me that the US government was secretly trying to get people hooked on LSD during the 50s and 60s and was even promoting many of its proponents, like Timothy Leary, Ben Kesey, and Tom Wolfe. Can anyone else here concur with this rumor, or is it just unsubstantiated folklore?
