LSD and other psychedelics make a comeback

I think within psychedelics lay the cure to most, if not all, serious psychological disorders. Even things like violence and bigotry may be curable. I can understand making drugs illegal on the streets but in the lab! There is just no sense in that.

The government is scared of LSD not because of health implications but because people on LSD think differently. Anyone who has ever tripped on any psychadelics is different from someone who hasn't. It changed me and let me say, I'm really happy with the way i turned out.
Tune in, Turn on, Drop out!

This is not surprising, it's a wonderful experience.

If you are going to check out Aldous Huxley, also check out the story "Brave New World."

It presents a world with SOMA; a psychedelic that everyone takes for solidarity.

hey i am all for full legalization we all need to tune in turn on and drop off. hey we need to give the NSA CIA and the secret service something to listen too when your getting high on your private property and your own closed door just let them ask me what i am doing

I'll grant that Leary was a polarizing and controversial figure, but wouldn't it be interesting if some of his theories turned out to be right?

psychedelics are mind expanding. so is religion, unless you get some bad koolaid. making money does not expand the mind, unless you want to buy more koolaid. psychedelics, religion, and money are all good until someone stops respecting their fellow human beings.

As long as there's no Learyesque characters around, things may turn out all right.

Keep this in mind. in the oilfield the low paid jobs on a rig is around 45-55k. Most of these idiots get fired b/c they can't stop using weed or cocaine

I say keep up the drug use, because society and the job force are very competitive. The more idiots that use drugs get fired from work which advances my family.

but you people probably don't real jobs anyway

God bless america
God less big oil

LSD and other pyschedelic compounds should be seriously looked into for medical studies, how can something so powerful be wholely bad?

i like what Cary Grant said about his first LSD trip : " it was like coughing up a psychic hairball " .

I love how people justify these drugs with words like "harmony" "The Great Spirit" "Beautiful." Then they turn around and call religion a "scam", "brainwashing" "Evil."

My opinion is that if you need mind altering drugs to find harmony, and beauty within yourself, then take these drugs, just do it under lock and key in the state hospital next to Charles Manson.

the decisions this administration has made... they HAD to have been on drugs!

L.S.D. is one of the most powerful, fascinating, beautiful, amazing, and perfect man made substances EVER!

it's the REAL truth serum. will put you at harmony.

D.S.L. are YOU connected?

Great news for closet hippies like me but not such good news for the big pharmaceutical companies who won't be to pleased when we have a legal wonder drug which can cure major psychological problems in one session rather than a controlled prolonged prescription.

Also LSD is much more fun, interesting and enlightening than all the cheap coke and E that's going round these days.

I'm a fan.

I realized everything happens for a reason, there are no accidents. We are eternal beings and live on past our bodies. I realized thoughts are the seeds of reality, that we have the power to manifest our destiny will proper thinking...

I got this aided with LSD. I mostly credit the Great Spirit for allowing me to receive higher consciousness...

SO yea, I advocate the use of LSD with respect and proper intent...

The govn't doesn't like LSD cause if we all saw the truth, they'd no longer be able to exploit us, control us, and do things like send us to war to kill and be killed for their own personal gain...

For the record, I don't do drugs or alcohol anymore at all ... I've crossed that bridge ...

Music will get weird. Art will get weirder. Folks will make bizarre observations about life at "Be-Ins" while stripping.
Waterbeds, Beanbag Chairs, Lava Lamps, Tie-Die Everything and those fuzzy green stick-up feet will make a huge comeback.
Pink Floyd albums in 5.1 surround will continually be sold out. (whoa)
Corporate Media will label it a dangerous cult outbreak of Retro-Mind Expansion while Pfiser figures out how to profit from it.

If musicans back then did LSD, then wonder what will happen to the Music Industery? Maybe someone will have the vision to solve the current problem.

This is great. I know psychedelics have enormous potential for healing...I quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey after a very introspective LSD trip.

Psychedelics have been around since the dawn of time. Animals knew about them way before humans discovered their spiritually enlightening & healing properties. Once again, based on completely biased studies, our gov’t groundlessly feels the need to save people from themselves, only to make the forbidden fruit that much more tempting. If we were not supposed to indulge in responsible, recreational psychedelic use for heightened sensory experiences, Mother Nature would not have provided them for us. Life isn't easy; there's nothing wrong with steppin' out from timt to time. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger in this world.

Yes....

This is great, I can't wait to see some of the amazing results that comes from actually being able to research. I seriously hope this is just one step in a wave of consciousness that is so dearly needed in our world (especially in the US).

Viva la Hoffman!!! The story about the kid from Texas dropping-off LSD laced cookie baskets at 24 north Texas Police stations as part of his community service was civil-disobedience at it's finest!!
