That, and most of these drugs are made from common house hold chemicals and poisons. That an propane. Honestly, who wants to pump that stuff into your veins? Not me. That's just dumb. Don't just jump to calling it "dumb", because LSD is not just a random mixture of poisons and hydrocarbons. It's made from a long chemical process, turning these things into something that they were nothing like before. (No, I have not, and will not try make it myself, nor have I ever taken this drug or any other drug discussed, for the record). Do you eat bread mold? Would you eat bread mold? Do you think eating it is dumb? Well, guess what! Penicillin is made from bread mold! Now I know that ventures a little bit because penicillin is meant to cure diseases, but don't forget that hallucinogens like marijuana and even rarely LSD are used as painkillers for incurables like cancer. I'd rather be depressed on my deathbed (I already would be) than in pain AND depressed with the knowledge of my inevitable, soon-to-come death. About this "thought process", more on the subject of recreational drugs: I've found an interesting parallel. You see, we all know the problem America has with obesity, people get depressed because they're fat, and then eat even more to soothe the emotional pain, blah blah blah. Those lacking enough self control to deal with the side affects of overeating, just like with drugs, will eventually be destroyed by it. (Remember "taking the safety labels off of everything"?) Everything in moderation: Avoiding eating too many fatty foods is just like not overusing drugs. Yes, you'll still have to deal with the little amount of fat/depression you put on, but if you have the ability to cope with it and get over the state of depression just as one exercises fat off, is there really a problem?
