Also, I'm skeptical that decriminalization has caused more pain and suffering than the mass imprisonments.
- josephg 3y agoYep. Psychedelics like magic mushrooms and LSD just aren’t addictive. Taking them is existentially exhausting. It’s like going for a hike - when you get home you just want to have a cup of tea and rest. You don’t want to set off again immediately after. You also lose some agency about what you’re thinking about. Having a bad trip while homeless could be utter hell. I think it’s very unlikely that they’ll displace alcohol and friends as the drugs of choice for homeless people. If you want to dissociate from your shitty life, you will hate LSD.
