On the other hand, I'm not sure if I want to abolish the FDA. I do like having the belief (true or otherwise) that I know what's in whatever I'm ingesting.

Given the size of the herbal supplement market, which is completely unregulated, I suspect the average person doesn't give a damn.

Scientifically-credentialled research into the therapeutic benefits of LCD has recently begun in ernest again ... after decades of government cover-up of beneficial research results, and refusal to allow any futher research be done.

I don't know why anybody would want to do acid (I found it to be an incredibly false experience) but if they do it shouldn't require a proven medical benefit to do so.

The government interferes with our lives long enough and we start licking their hand because they only hit us twice.

No, but it's nice that it's got a medical benefit for people with intractible psychiatric problems.

It was incredibly beneficial to me, as a person. My experiences with it were quite the opposite of false-seeming.

Agreed. But while I disagree with the arguments for banning recreational use, I can certainly understand the reasons behind them. There is a rationale behind it, no matter how short-sighted I may think it is. Whereas banning research into the effects and possible controlled beneficial uses seems completely irrational to me.

Hmm, yes, I see your point; but now let's light up and re-lax.
