Many people here are speaking from experience. I trust my own judgment over some knob in the FDA that is steeped in a culture of drug control.

- phoronixrly 2y ago> Many people here are speaking from experience. I trust my own judgment over some knob in the FDA that is steeped in a culture of drug control. Let me paraphrase this: Many people here are parroting stuff based on a sample size of 1, who lived to tell the tale. You trust your own judgement based on those people before the rigorous safety and effectiveness studies for the FDA, on a whim that the FDA approves or rejects drugs based on their... ? Culture of hating recreational drugs?
- tastyfreeze 2y agoThe FDA exists to tell you, a free individual, what you are allowed to put in your body. It has been a very long time since the FDA has been about safety only. It is wholly captured by business interests in food and drug industries. So yes, they, and the government culture as a whole, hate recreational drugs that they don't control in some way. No shooms for you but drugs that cause suicidal ideation are prescribed by the millions. I am wary of people "looking out for your safety" when there is financial incentive to do otherwise.

- mistermann 2y agoNotice how you downgraded your confident claim of knowledge to a tentative question. What's going on homie?
- phoronixrly 2y agoIt just seemed incredibly stupid so I wanted to make sure I understood correctly what they meant.
- mistermann 2y agoOk, but you were spreading misinformation in the process.
