Title: Recent Studies Show That Psychedelic Drugs Are Not Bad For Mental Health — But Alcohol Is

It is a matter of provable fact that psychedelics are the safest compounds within the modern drug culture. The strongest hallucinogen known to man dimethyltryptamine is actually less damaging to the human body than America’s favorite fix, caffeine.

Many substances that are deeply embedded in American culture such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine or pharmaceutical narcotics are in fact toxins, while psychedelic compounds are actually physically benign and many times already occur naturally in human chemistry. What this means is that the chemicals which make psychedelics do what they do are actually naturally occurring compounds that are chemically suited for your body.

Study after study confirms the safety and natural composition of these substances, yet psychedelics are vilified in our media, politics and other cultural institutions. This massive public smear campaign exists because the establishment fears the impact that psychedelics would have on their control structure.

You see, these drugs are not dangerous to the individual or the community, but they make us seek our own answers about the world around us, instead of swallowing the line of garbage that we have been fed by the establishment.

Psychedelics will break down the personal ego and cultural barriers that our society has corrupted us with and will make negative cultural norms such as war, poverty and oppression seem completely insane. This kind of social clarity could be very dangerous for the establishment and their control system, which is why they insist that these substances are bad and cannot be introduced into society.

A recent study conducted by the Research Council of Norway has found that psychedelics do not have any long-term negative effects on mental health.

According to the study:

A recent large population study of 130,000 adults in the United States failed to find evidence for a link between psychedelic use (lysergic acid diethylamide, psilocybin or mescaline) and mental health problems. Using a new data set consisting of 135,095 randomly selected United States adults, including 19,299 psychedelic users, we examine the associations between psychedelic use and mental health.

After adjusting for sociodemographics, other drug use and childhood depression, we found no significant associations between lifetime use of psychedelics and increased likelihood of past year serious psychological distress, mental health treatment, suicidal thoughts, suicidal plans and suicide attempt, depression and anxiety.

We failed to find evidence that psychedelic use is an independent risk factor for mental health problems. Psychedelics are not known to harm the brain or other body organs or to cause addiction or compulsive use; serious adverse events involving psychedelics are extremely rare. Overall, it is difficult to see how prohibition of psychedelics can be justified as a public health measure.

The study went on to point out that, “drug abuse experts consistently rank LSD and/or psilocybin mushrooms as much less harmful to the individual user and to society compared to alcohol and other controlled substances.”

Another study published in 2010 linked alcohol abuse to suicide and depression.

The government isn’t against all drugs, they shove drugs down your throat every day through your food, alcohol, and prescriptions. What the government is against is people thinking about the world differently and questioning the authority that they have been trained to live under.

Psychedelics can catalyze this thought process, and it is for this reason that the American government took quick action to make these substances illegal and to vilify them in the public arena.

These psychedelic compounds are so important that we cannot let them be suppressed in the extreme manner that we see in western culture. Psychedelics offer us a glimpse into the final frontier of humanity, the consciousness. With these substances, we can explore the human imagination for profound insight that will help us in our own personal lives and the bigger picture as well. We must push for new legitimate scientific research into the therapeutic uses for these drugs. These studies will prove, as they have in the past, that psychedelic compounds have many medical and spiritual uses that are necessary for our species to continue the evolution of our consciousness.

Of course a candidate can be a little of both... but my point (lost in your empty head) was that Buckley would have considered himself more libertarian than Republican/Conservative AND he would have run on the Libertarian ticket (like Rand would have) if it was possible to win while associated with that kook filled party.

Reagan was both... but more conservative than libertarian. He was a great president. Conservative with just the right amount of libertarian principles to keep him from being an LF KOOK.

Of course not. Not if the article is attempting to paint hallucinogens as "not bad for mental health".

But LSD, peyote, psilocybin, DMT and PCP are drugs that cause hallucinations.

The war on drugs does not change human behavior.

There will always be a percentage of people who will use and a bunch will be addicts. The war on drugs is an incredible waste of resources. Which is hilarious when people say the addict is going to cost society money if drugs are legalized. They pretend it will cost more if legalization occurs, common sense says otherwise.

Before addictive drugs were criminalized, they were incredibly cheap, and sold by mail order to anyone. -- They were NOT a 'problem', -- although prohibitionists saw them as a political opportunity to gain power.

I believe the number of addicts would stay the same.

I have seen no evidence to suggest otherwise. People become addicts because they are predisposed to it.

Regardless, it's really a moot point, in the first place, I am not a smug POS who feels like he has the right to tell another what they can put in their body. That POS would be you.

"Drug laws aren't unconstitutional, dummy."

And we haven't spent $1 trillion on "the drug war". The federal ONDCP budget (which includes drug treatment programs and anti-drug marketing and border patrol and overseas interdiction) is $26 billion. In a $3.8 trillion federal budget. That works out to .6%.

....four decades after Richard Nixon declared the war on drugs in 1971 and $1 trillion spent since then.

The federal ONDCP budget (which includes drug treatment programs and anti-drug marketing and border patrol and overseas interdiction) is $26 billion. In a $3.8 trillion federal budget.

In the United States, if illegal drugs were taxed at rates comparable to those on alcohol and tobacco, they would yield $46.7 billion in tax revenue. A Cato study says legalizing drugs would save the U.S. about $41 billion a year in enforcing the drug laws.

Have U.S. drug laws reduced drug use? No. The U.S. is the No. 1 nation in the world in illegal drug use. As with Prohibition, banning alcohol didn't stop people drinking -- it just stopped people obeying the law.

What do we spend because of the dopers? They've imposed a lot of medical costs on society, things like emergency rood visits when they OD and crap like that. Plus the potential gains we lost from people who took dope and ruined their life. Jim Gordon's life was ruined by drugs, he murdered his own mother, and has been institutionalized ever since, drug use made him insane. Same with Syd Barrett.

And do you notice the dopers are the biggest anti-Trump people here? Dopers are bad for America, that's why the red diaper babies pushed dope back in the 60's.

That's highly illogical since Trump had said he would legalize ALL drugs.

...it wasn’t too long ago that the real-estate mogul/reality-TV star publicly supported the legalization of drugs in the United States—and called out politicians for not having the courage to end the disastrous war on drugs.

During a luncheon hosted by the Miami Herald in April 1990, Trump slammed U.S. drug enforcement policy as “a joke,” and argued that tax dollars from a legalized, regulated narcotics industry could be spent on programs educating Americans about the dangers of drugs and addiction.

“We’re losing badly the war on drugs,” he said, rightly so, to the crowd of 700 people. “You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take the profit away from these drug czars.”

There's plenty of other reasons to dislike Trump.

Dopers are illogical. Same ones that whine about free trade with Red China, amnesty, illegal aliens and gun control flock to Bernie Sanders. Esau traded away his birthright for a mess of pottage, your generation traded it away for pot. The generations after yours will curse your generation, and they've every right to. The "if it feel good, do it" ethos that defined your generation cheated the following generations of what their ancestors had put aside and built up for their heirs. A dozen generations before yours built up America, and your generation consumed it in a drug induced haze that numbed the senses and destroyed common sense.

Huh, what?

You assume that because someone is against the drug war they must automatically be anti-gun, pro amnesty and for free trade with China?

Here's a clue - everyone doesn't fit neatly into your ignorant little stereotypes.

Trump is a joke, and it has nothing to do with Sanders, Bush, Rubio or any of the fake conservatives currently running under the Republican banner.

The two names on the ticket next November will be Bush and Clinton.

Trump is in the race to make sure that occurs.

Based on the current black-market price of drugs. If legalized, the price of drugs would drop 90%. Plus, they're assuming 100% tax collection.

They'd be lucky to get $3 billion.

The results in Colorado prove you wrong.

The Colorado Department of Revenue, according to recently released figures, just brought in $70 million in taxes relating to marijuana, compared to less than $42 million for alcohol taxes, over the course of a year.

"The Colorado Department of Revenue, according to recently released figures, just brought in $70 million in taxes relating to marijuana compared to less than $42 million for alcohol taxes"

Less than a year ago, the Colorado governor’s office estimated a $100 million tax haul from recreational marijuana taxes in the first fiscal year.

What happened, Deckard?

In Colorado, there is a 10% marijuana sales tax and a 15% excise tax on the average market rate of retail marijuana. It adds up to 25% (excluding the 2.9% sales tax).

Alcohol is taxed per gallon at a very low rate (eg., 8 cents a gallon for beer excluding the 2.9% sales tax). Those numbers are reflected above.

But when you add the 2.9% sales tax to both marijuana and alcohol, alcohol brings in more revenue.

Barry Goldwater made a number of political mistakes in his later life, this was but one of them. Goldwater joined with Democratic Senator Dennis DeConcini to endorse an Arizona initiative, Proposition 200, to legalize medical marijuana….against the countervailing opinion of social conservatives.

Goldwater changed and not for the better. Goldwater became something of an outcast in the political movement that he pioneered. He confronted conservatives on a number of issues. Many worried that Goldwater had lost his bearings and a few even whispered that he had become a loose cannon. Some thought that his second wife, Susan, had led him politically astray. A person’s basic tenets sometimes change and it is not always for the best….especially when they drift from being a staunch conservative. Mr. Conservative did drift, he found himself an unlikely new career: as a gay rights activist.

In 1996 Goldwater said to Bob Dole that “we’re the new liberals of the Republican Party.” That was while Dole was facing criticisms from hard line conservatives in the presidential campaign and Barry Goldwater was facing criticisms from conservatives in Arizona. Goldwater supported the service of gays in the military. He also opposed limits on a woman's right to choose an abortion. He became a vocal opponent of the religious right on issues such as abortion, gay rights, and the role of religion in public life. While Goldwater won support of abortion opponents in his 1980 U.S. Senate re-election campaign, he then voted consistently in his final term to uphold the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion. Later in life, he was honored by Planned Parenthood.

Goldwater drove his disciples nuts. In 1992 he backed a Democrat for Congress over a Christian conservative Republican. His candidate, Karan English, won. He applied the full force of his cantankerous personality change to denunciations of the religious right and occasional defenses of Bill Clinton. He even called a press conference recently to urge Republican critics of Whitewater to "get off his back and let him be president."

After narrowly winning re-election to the Senate in 1980, he wisely chose not to run again in 1986. He took the easy and honorable way out, he retired from the Senate in 1987.
