    Mostly they end up kind of boring or being jerks. That is a very well known outcome.

  Shamanic rituals have been the cornerstone of many of the great civilizations of the past. Why are substances that induce introspection and a sense of belonging to something greater than yourself banned?

    Sometimes they cause psychotic breaks and Timmy eats off Becca's ear or runs buck naked into the woods and dies. You know, that sorta stuff.

      Well today's society causes people to shoot up schools and parades, so frankly biting off an ear sounds pretty preferable.

  I'm sure lots can go wrong, but the justice department is the wrong place for these issues to be resolved.
