As soon as it kicks in, I'm growing pounds of psilocybin to give away. At least five colonies in a constant rotation. :vot

    It's such a vague conspiracy that runs counter to how this initiative passed that yeah, it is. The only difference is that you said government instead of big pharma. Protect Colorado's Kids used big pharma as their control boogeyman.

    Again, just read Pollan's How to Change Your Mind. It's not the authority on the subject, it's not the primary research itself, but it's an introductory book about the part of this you don't understand. If all you otherwise have is a conspiracy theory you haven't yet defined, what am I supposed to call you? Certainly not comrade. You want to preserve a worse system for the sake of your ignorance. To keep these drugs criminalised knowing what that means and how much a means of control that is. The nicest word I could call you for saying something so fucking stupid is reactionary.

      Im not saying to keep them criminalized

      Where did i say that

      That's you jumping to conclusions.l and throwing out words that aren't appropriate than trying to make them stick when you are called out about not knowing how to use it properly.

      Legalize it. Im just questioning why it's happening now? The same thing that happened to herb will happen to shrooms. It'll become so strong that all these positives you talk about will slowly disappear. It'll just be another doping agent to keep the populace in line.

        Comparing it to cannabis is again just not understanding the fundamentals of this class of drug. It's happening now because people have read books like How to Change Your Mind and seen what tryptamines actually are. The research ban was lifted and the subsequent flood of research has shown the psychiatric potential in the way research before hippies was beginning to hint at. It being in the realm of hippie mysticism is a consequence of it not being available in research settings or clinics. That's the repression and control, this is the popular and scientific response against both.

          I'm not reading the book bro. Why should I. Where do you think in your happy badgering that you've convinced me to do anything?

          All you have done is shove words in my mouth and when i call you out you just try to flip the script.

            You should read it for the same reason you hopefully read anything else. You don't currently know something and might be capable of learning. When your current position is this misinformed, reading anything about it would be to your benefit. It doesn't even have to be that book but that's normally the book I give to people before they understand anything about these drugs or how they're used. If I shove any word in your mouth it will be more correct than the ones you shit out of it. Those are some good words so I recommend them in particular.
