Next this guy is going to tell us that LSD bring him closer to God, and you're going to believe him?
Anecdotal evidence about the effects of drugs are mostly worthless.
- swombat 16y agoFor what it's worth, depending on your definition of God and how much LSD you take, I'd be inclined to believe that second statement. I agree that anecdotal evidence is not worth much, however the problem with psychoactive drugs is that many of the most interesting effects are subjective (and thus the best data is always anecdotal) and that scientific studies of certain interesting drugs is illegal. Anecdotal evidence may not be worth much, but it's certainly worth more than prejudices based on zero evidence. Also worth pointing out that not all interesting things in life can be studied with objective double-blind studies.
