Comment on Anon takes the pink pill
shneancy@lemmy.world 3 weeks agolsd my beloved :( ostracised because they had to put hippies in prison for something. schedule I with no medical uses my ass too, that ban stopped every ongoing research into how lsd could help in psychiatry, and though research wasn’t finished it sure as hell didn’t look like it was useless. The US drug enforcement administration lied in nearly every single part of their statement following the ban
Quick LSD anecdote: LSD literally reminded me what actual happiness feels like. I’ve struggled with depression for much of my life and had a stretch of about a decade where my mood never rose above the level of “meh” and was often much worse than that. LSD filled me with joy and allowed me to feel happiness again even after I came back down.
For that reason I will forever be an LSD advocate.
I love the “afterglow” of psychedelics. It’s one of the main reason I take them. They have changed so many lives and I can’t wait to see how widely accepted they are in the future.

bruh you have no idea how correct you are on that
“By the mid-1960s the backlash against the use of LSD and its perceived corrosive effects on cultural values resulted in governmental action to restrict the availability of the drug by making use of it illegal.[29]”
now let’s all have a sit down and think about the state of the “cultural values” if feeling love towards your fellow human beings, and jamming to music is somehow corrosive to them… just- i have no idea how people fell for that bullshit
