I've heard people go on tangents and make arguments about the legality of psychedelics, stating how safe they are and how nonsensical their illegal status is. Basically, they focus on how they are not nearly as dangerous as other legal drugs, and them being illegal for being too dangerous is nonsense.

The reason they are illegal has nothing to do with our well-being. It's known that they don't cause much harm, and they don't cause nearly as much harm as legal drugs out there, like alcohol, tobacco, even coffee..

It's because these drugs really do expand your mind and make you see the world as it is, and how f***** up it is. The government is trying to control millions and millions of people, and the easiest way is to turn us into sheep that just go about their everyday business making no problems. This is the same reason they fluoridate our water.

Consuming excessive amounts of fluoride, which we do every day because it's been added to almost every city's tap water, effects our pineal gland in a very negative way, stripping us of energy, motivation, etc. Making it harder to give a ****, basically.

It's all covered up with the "We care about your health" card, but really has nothing to do with it. There is plenty of scientific evidence proving that fluoride should absolutely not be consumed, and that mushrooms actually alter your mind and personality in a most positive way, and that DMT and LSD have very, very few, if any, negative side effects.

A lot of people bunch MDMA into this category as well. I disagree about that entirely. It doesn't make sense for it to be illegal whilst alcohol is legal, but I do believe that MDMA does have negative health effects and is not categorized with Psilocybin, DMT, & LSD for a reason. I don't remember the exact details, but it has negative effects on your serotonin and dopamine receptors, and the effects can be permanent, helping to trigger, cause, or worsen depression. If you've ever taken MDMA, you know that the next few days are going to suck, and that's the first sign that it's not good for your body. You don't have a bad comedown off of good psychedelics, in fact you feel better after the comedown than you did before you took the drug (unless you're extremely sleep deprived).

Anyway, the point is that none of what they say actually matters to the government or will make a difference. It's not new information. They want to be the shepherds, while we are the sheep, and they want absolutely nothing in the way.

However...

I do believe that psychedelics can be overdone though. Not in a way that is dangerous to the public (unless you count never-ending, one-sided conversations dangerous, which I sometimes do), but to the individual. They need to be taken respectfully, and as a tool, not for fun.

I've met way too many burnouts that took acid everyday just for kicks, basically abusing it, and they are unable to socialize like an intelligent, socially aware being. They can talk and talk about crazy s***, but they've lost the part that is necessary in order to properly convey any intellect they hold to others.

Use it respectfully. Psychedelics are like the salt on your life that liven it up.

No salt: Your life will be bland.

Too much salt: Your life will be just too d*** salty, and nobody can enjoy that. All they can taste is the salt.

The right amount of salt: You will have a beautifully balanced meal, where life is still the focus, but the salt has brought out all of it's wonderful flavors that seemed to be too dull to notice before dosing, er, salting.
