All of them, but especially psychedelics

Everything. Legalise them all.

It's the only way to go whether you are pro or con drugs. The usual argument is: but more people will die—everyone will be using them. I do not think so. About the same number will use and about the same number will OD. William Burroughs covered this way back in the early sixties.

Exactly right. I'd understand a fear that there'd be a n initial influx of new drug use should anything be legalised, but it would level out to something similar to what we have now. The differences would be that the financial contributions would be legitimate and not a gap in the economy, and substances would less likely be something random and unknown as it would be manufactured correctly and sold more honestly. The vast majority of 'ecstacy' deaths don't even involve MDMA.

I concur completely. I think it was Aldous Huxley who said it was natural for humans, or some humans, to want to escape from ordinary consciousness.

Some funny names there but "jenkem?" Oh my Buddha.

Jenkem is a drug made by Africans by leaving their piss and shit mixed together In a jar out in the heat.

Illegal ones aside, I'd like to see pharmaceuticals available OTC too. Getting a muscle relaxer for a sprained back, or codeine, should be a non-issue.

Over the counter ivermectin.

They sell it off the shelf in countries with less brainwashing.

The government should have no say whatsoever in what a person decides to ingest, nor what they must ingest.

Until they do, almost everything has fentinal in it right now.

It's really weird that Biden admin was giving out crack pipe and needles in harm reduction kits (confirmed)...but not fent tests strips...
