I knew a guy who never came down. Bad trip.
Sad.
I've seen what LSD can do too. Keep in mind that it was developed to help schizophrenics.

Sometimes stating the absurd or being hyperbolic is necessary to getting the point across.
That sounds like a wonderful place to live. :roll: Freedom wasn't designed to encourage self destruction. :roll:
Do you think Free Speech was designed to protect Mickey Mouse or people like the KKK?
Sounds like you believe the government should protect us from ourselves.

Yes. The whole purpose of the government is to ensure that the citizens may enjoy a safe environment. Otherwise, who needs a government?
People like the KKK. Why do you ask? Art wasn't a part of an oppressive government. It was the government locking you in jail for making antagonistic speeches about government officials.
It was designed to protect political speech not vulgar speech. (If that is what you are getting out.) Silencing Mickey Mouse would be totally acceptable under the intent of the constitution. Silencing the KKK is unacceptable under the intent of the constitution.
Again, why are you asking?
I thought the U.S. Army developed LSD ?

While we're at it lets legalize EVERYTHING! Get rid of all laws! That way no one will get in trouble!

Wouldn't give it to my favorite enemy.
What would it take to convince you I am purest evil?
oops. I must have misread You said wouldn't.
Never mind.
You know, I did some Microdots and some weak Blotter that at best were like potent weed or mild shrooms and made me giggle a lot and brighten colors. But when some retard gave me a hit of "4-Way Window Pane", I didn't know to break it up and took the whole thing. Ended up in the ER, over dosed and almost permanently demented.
Freedom of speech DOES protect vulgarity.
Yes. In our current legal environment it does. There is a term called, "intent of the law". Nobody was around December 15, 1791 when the constitution was ratified. It's anybody's guess.
I personally think the freedoms found in our constitution was to protect citizens from an oppressive government.
I have a heard time believing the government envisioned degradation of culture and a nation where citizens destroy themselves as the ultimate goal for the United States.
:cuckoo: I just don't think it's likely but I don't know. I wasn't there. Your guess is as good as mine. :shrug:
It's been a point of discussion in my apartment recently, whether acid should be legal or not. One of my roommates is pretty strongly supportive of it and the other believes that it should never be legalized. I'm kind of on the fence, so I thought I'd throw it out here.
I asked both of them to give me some arguments for their side to put out here.
Pro arguments-
-LSD is one of the least addictive drugs out there with no chance of physical addiction.
-It is nearly impossible to OD on. People have taken 1000's of times that of a single dose and survived.
-One of the most dangerous things concerning acid is the fact that different research chemicals are often passed off as LSD and the fact that it is nearly impossible to tell what dose it is. Legalization would bring quality control and make sure that it is what it is advertised.
-LSD has almost no negative side effects either short term or long lasting.
-LSD's potential to cause crazy behavior has been generally overstated. It is unlikely to the extreme for people to put their children in ovens or jump out of windows thinking they can fly.
-For a drug like LSD where people under it pose less danger to themselves and others than alcohol or marijuana, there is no excuse for the government to be making it illegal.
Against arguments-
-LSD is a drug that dramatically alters the person's mind dramatically. It's dangerous not only for the person taking it, but those around them.
-LSD can cause psychosis in rare cases and can lead to Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder. HPPD causes visual changes like those under LSD chronically, sometimes appearing months after taking the drug.
-Having it legal would dramatically increase its use. If people used LSD like they use alcohol, that could cause serious problems.<br><br>
