But what do I know? I've never experienced LSD for myself. :) I completely agree that the drug war is a farce. We need to step back and reconsider our strategy.

A drug punishment should be as damaging as the affects of it. LSD should not be judged by those who have not used it and should be used carefully, those who decide to take Methamphetamine's and other drugs with LSD are the reason most people have to deal with drama of the American laws. Just because there is a law against something, doesn't mean it is right. In my belief, when LSD is used correctly, the brain is able to experience life without the biological tricks of the mind. In other words, it allows you to see what the brain doesn't. The brain is the most influential thing in the world and LSD allows to experience the things that the brain won't allow us to.

I think the War on Drugs is a farce, just like Prohibition was a farce. I'm only saying that if America wants to be consistent, if we ban drugs like marijuana and LSD, then we should also ban alcohol and tobacco. I would prefer, however, that we give up on the idea of prohibition, perhaps altogether. I agree, Anonymous. I think the War on Drugs is a farce, just like Prohibition was a farce.

I'm not saying all drugs should be legal,there is some really nasty stuff on the streets. but making a substance illegal only fuels the fire for drug dealers. it gives them no regulations and now gidelines. in my opinion things like bud, alcohol, tobacco should be strictly watched and taxed. this would keep people out of jail save the government money. also in the case of hard life hurting drugs, instead of sending these people to jail, they should send them in to rehab. there sick not criminals. now if they go to rehab ever other day then a jail sentence wouyld be ok. lastly in the case of America, were sub post to be free who the fuck cares if you smoke weed, drink at 18, etc. lsd what a drug! the government doesn’t need to do anything but stop the drug war.

The only point of disagreement we have is that some thought processes are only possible while under the influence. This might be true, or it might not. Perhaps those thought processes could be induced without external chemicals. Just a thought. The government would improve its credibility (while trimming its coffers) if it either made marijuana legal or made worse drugs like tobacco and alcohol illegal. As it stands, its policy looks uninformed and extremist at best, cynically calculating at worst. Amen, mike.

I myself have come up with several solutions to problems while stoned (I am an electrical & mechanical engineering student in scotland). On another note, the 'drug war' only succeeds in perpetrating the drug trade, as every seizure drives the price up for a while. All drug dealers I have met are for the war on drugs as they all know that without it they would be out of a job. indeed, the only reason I started smoking weed was because it was illegal. and once you discover that all the government propaganda is bullshit, you are VERY inclined to disbelieve ANY official information on drugs at all. sorry to go on a bit, the war on drugs is my personal bugbear! drugs enable one to see things from a different perspective, most psychedelics and hallucinogens subtly alter the brain’s chemistry which allows thought processes to occur which would be impossible while sober.

I'm not necessarily looking for a recreational experience. I'd be more interested in "cleansing the doors of perception" as they say.
