How socially-suitable is that?
I think a key part of freetime2's quoted excerpt is the part that relates to social acceptance.
Right now (well, not exactly now, but tomorrow-now) I can pop into any random over-21 bar near me and buy some drinks for myself and whoever else happens to be around.
And that will be perfectly OK, socially-speaking, according to anyone I'm buying a drink for, and the bartender, and anyone who sees me behave in this fashion.
Even leaving aside such notions as legality and length-of-trip: LSD is a long, long way from reaching that level of social acceptance, don't you think?
- pjerem 1y agoI do agree with you :) I was just saying that a short duration psychedelic could, chemically speaking, be a good replacement for alcohol with pretty much all the benefits without a lot of downsides. But I agree we are far from there. And there is also the case for the taste of alcoholic beverages.

- freetime2 1y agoYeah I definitely didn’t have replacing alcohol with LSD (or any other chemical) in mind when I made my original comment. That being said, I do wish that psychedelics were more socially accepted as I do think positive outcomes are possible when used in moderation.
