Comment on Why Are Psychedelics Illegal?parent

Comments

At no time in any of my experiences with various psychotropics have I ever wanted to jump in front of traffic. In fact, while dazzling, that bus is goddamn terrifying in that state.

I would worry more about the folks taking stuff like Ambien and Chantix, as those are legal and have well documented horror stories of people losing complete control.

Dextromethorphan seems to fall into the same category- a friend of mine lost his son recently to an overdose of it. I'm not sure whether he was using it because it was more readily available than LSD, or because he preferred it, but he was a frequent LSD user and it seemed tragic that it was cough syrup that killed him.
