Ending the Drug War Would Unleash the Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelics

The value that designer arylcyclohexylamines (3-MeO-PCP, 4-HO-PCP, 3-MeO-PCE, 4-HO-PCE, O-PCE, deschloroketamine, and 2F-deschloroketamine) have added to my life is immeasurable in terms of challenging my preconceptions on reality, the reliability of my senses, and the possibilities of my mind.

Tryptamines, phenethylamines, and lysergamides, on the other hand, do very little for me, even at extremely high doses.

I believe that with the advent of acid, we discovered a new way to think, and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts in your mind. Why is it that people think it's so evil ? What is it about it that scares people so deeply, even the guy that invented it, what is it ? Because they're afraid that there's more to reality than they have confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in, and they don't want us to go in there either, because if we go in we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.

Always said that you shouldn't use psychadelics (including marijuana) until age 50 but if you'd already nade the mistake if starting early then you should at least do it properly. He for example refused to smoke with people that slouched or had shallow breathing.

I think it'd be clever to allow psychadelics (recreationally) for people aged 50+ to start with. Slowly it'd become a better understood thing and the age limit could go down.
