  That’s why it’s included and it’s the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.

    The carrot got dangled in front of the US population for decades and now it’s going to be handed out by the guy holding a knife in his other hand.

  Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.

    Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons.

    This is kind of an interesting thought, imo. If one agrees with the resultant policy, does the rationale used to get there matter? Perhaps it does in principle, but I wonder if it matters in practice. The end result is the same.

      I think the implications here is that the reasons it gets legalized can have an impact on the specifics of the policy. Which would mean that they wouldn’t agree with the policy beyond the legalization itself.

      It does not matter morally, but does rhetorically and politically

      If the end result is that psychedelics get used as an excuse to take power away from the FDA, then everybody’s safety gets compromised in all areas of healthcare.

    I mean there’s already quite some research with psychedelics showing positive results. Expecting RFK to act on facts and science is wishful thinking. We can just be thankful that his twisted mind aligns with science at least in this position.

  Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It’s a win-win!

    but on the plus side, maybe the us can start getting some decent cheeses…

  A broken clock is right twice a day. A random number generator will also occasionally give you the right answer.
