    I suspect they’re not trying to do a good thing–what they’re doing is likely making psychedelics as easy to access as possible, get everyone doing them, have that (obviously) go poorly, and then say "See? Nixon was right, minorities bad.”

    RFK spoke positively of psychedelics in the same sentence as raw milk, so I think we’re about to see decades of progress reversed.

      Is there any evidence of this? Not saying I disagree (and honestly wouldn’t be too surprised if this were the case), but just because it’s the “other team” that’s making the claim doesn’t necessarily equate to automatically being “bad”.

      We gotta take statements, evidence, and arguments at face value. I have no idea what their intentions are or what the actual plan is (since it’s almost impossible to find any consistency within the GOP), but opening up psychedelics, in a controlled manner, could do wonders for society.

        They’re fascists, it absolutely means that, we cannot give them a micro inch of trust or benefit of the doubt
