Knight_of_BAAWA: Democracy for Breakfast:Its a lot more then that though dude. Don't let the U.S's stigma of them get to you, LSD has a profound psychological effect on you. The after effect has your mind trained to think beyond its limits with more analytical thinking.Ummm...no. Look, if you like LSD--fine. But don't try to bullshit your way about this by claiming it expands your mind. Just be honest and say you like it. Bullshit apologetics are neither required nor useful, as there's nothing inherently wrong on any level about taking such substances. I realize that you believe you have to justify your usage to a society (as it were) which has been brainwashed into frowning upon it. Please don't insult us here with such nonsense.

This is about right

Honest question.

Listen, Its up to you weather you want to do LSD or Smoke Marijuana or not, I never said you should do it.
Also, I just think its important for people do some research to know what your talking about before they make claims like how addictive the two are. There's sciencifical evidence against those claims such as being addictive, gateway drug, negatively effecting health, ect. Because its usually until people actually do research that they realize all the myths made up by the Statists are bullshit. It's often for those myths that people continue to support The Federal War on Drugs.
These are the popular myths.

See? You just did it again. You tried to justify your like of the drug by spewing factoids about claims which weren't even made here. You don't need to justify yourself! READ THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE AGAIN!

I do love scientifical evidence, particulaly when it scienduces things to a scienterrific conclusion.
Personally, I do believe entheogen substances have the potential ability to "open the mind" or potentially expand the creative insight of the user, but KoB is right, there is no need to use such apologetics. It is as irritating as the "medical marijuana" argument. It is absolutely ridiculous that people have to use the medicinal argument.
Start the argument where it starts: I have the right to do what ever the hell I want to my own body, if it kills me slowly, happy for me, f*** you.
I'm curious... how does the Mises community feel about the use of nootropics?
Certainly these would qualify as awareness enhancers, but without the negative stigma associated with drugs like LSD.
"Code Fuel" "Poor man's cocaine" "Jolt" you know... caffieine.
