It sounds like it might be a better deal than Paxil.

Why not just legalize hallucinogens?

If you are in a flat 50m high, and you think you are a butterfly, it is not safe.

With DMT, Ayahuasca have been cases of murder, deaths of going to the wrong place, and one that he throwed himself to the fire because he saw an animal in the fire.

It is common sense the potential danger when you are in a trip.

I'm in favor of use of drugs. I would like to try LSD. And of course I agree for therapies.
But it's not always something funny. You can have a bad trip. And is difficult to manage that situation.
Nobody is going to prevent you from using LSD or any other hallucinogen.
Now I see it more like a way to go deep into your mind to solve problems. For that I tried Ayahuasca. I even went to Colombia to see shamans to treat my depression.
I'm sorry about being nasty closing the idea to legalize hallucinogens. I'm not sure, but I think there are two types of them. One that you remember & know that you have taken the drug, and another one, that you forget. The one that you remember you taken the drug I think is safer. That one could be legalized. I think it can help to anyone to grow inside.

The difference between benzos & psych-meds are that aren't free to use. You have a doctor that follows you and gives you the drug.

The only drug I really wouldn't like to legalize is cocaine. I haven't tried also. I could change my mind. But I think cocaine doesn't teach you nothing.

ok ... let's legalize hallucinogens. You win ;-)

I think that giving responsibilities to people is better than prohibit things. I think people should have the right to choose if try or not. No drug is better than another, for example alcohol. Any if used wrong is bad.

I caught this on the news this morn. Maybe i wasn't listening close enough but it sounded as if it was derivative of K. Manufactured for the sale.
