California Might Legalize Magic Mushrooms

And we can criminalize tobacco and alcohol. At least tobacco.

Why Georgia Home Boy?

I didn’t realize ketamine was that high on the physical harm axis.

- we should reign in harmful drugs where possible, as was partially achieved with smoking

- if there are more drugs legalized and therefore out and about, people can use and abuse more different drugs and compound their negative effects (i.e. smoking and drinking often goes together). People might drink alcohol as usual, try mushrooms at a party and also take steroids (yellow on the chart) for muscles.

- some drugs might have random effects and can be hard to dose (magic mushrooms?); single may have permanent or long term effects; alcohol is 'safer' in the sense that the effects are linear.

What is your main intention here, minimize potential harm from drugs overall, or responsibly legalize a drug that you find very beneficial and intend to use?

I really do not believe, given equal usage patterns, that ecstasy is lower on physical harm than alcohol. I have immense respect for the work of Alexander Shulgin and his efforts to explore the psychedelic space. But we know that single doses of ecstasy have neurodegenerative effects, with loosely established knowledge that taking it more often than ~once per month leads to compounding degeneration. As horrible as chronic alcohol use is, I don’t think it is anywhere near the same dose-frequency sensitivity for harm.

All said, MDMA offers opportunity for therapeutic upside that alcohol likely doesn’t, so maybe thats’s weighed in there somewhere (probably not).

I can already get it from my dealer in California.
