i’ve always thought about this and mushrooms r my personal example how they’ve been used to cure depression and help with anxiety even in micro doses.

luckyember-39

not to sound disrespectful

luckyember-39

but thats just medicine

olivemaple-24 OP

exactly, but it’s considered a class something drug by the government

jadetiger-51

yes.

swiftorchid-87

yess

sharpdolphin-67

just weed only idk about the rest

olivemaple-24 OP

weed it more damaging than shrooms

sharpdolphin-67

wait what? how?

olivemaple-24 OP

weed kills ur braincells and doesn’t help with mental health at all, while shrooms have been proven to cure depression and anxiety and have no impact on the brain unless used stupidly. you can’t overdose on shrooms, u can’t damage ur lungs on shrooms, it’s the best natural drug

sharpdolphin-67

idk about killing braincells exactly its a way to relax yourself at least

olivemaple-24 OP

it does kill them, that’s why there’s a high chance of it putting u in physco sis

sharpdolphin-67

so weed puts people in physcosis?

sharpdolphin-67

lol

snowyorange-96

I dont think

snowyorange-96

It should be

snowyorange-96

Addiction exists

olivemaple-24 OP

yea it’s a real thing

olivemaple-24 OP

u can’t get addicted to weed or shrooms, it’s impossible

olivemaple-24 OP

unless ur mentally retarded

oceanranger-15

not addiction in the traditional sense but you can still become mentally dependant on them

olivemaple-24 OP

alcoholism is a thing, let’s remember that

olivemaple-24 OP

and it’s legal

oceanranger-15

yeah i know, i dont disagree with the main point lol alcohol is way worse than weed but alcohol has been used for millennia for religion, honoring the dead, medicine everything

oceanranger-15

its been around for like 10k+ years, its still used for religious purposes and as a social lubricant

oceanranger-15

its cheap, easy to make

oceanranger-15

but yeah its poison and deadly

oceanranger-15

i think most of not all drugs except the worst of the worst like fent should be mostly decriminalized across the country, dont lock people up over having a lil bit of weed or shrooms or crack or whatever

oceanranger-15

focus on helping them and rehabilitating them instead of incarcerating them

oceanranger-15

putting people in jail over an oz of weed has never helped anyone, it costs the taxpayers money, it potentially loses them their job, their home, car, family etc. and then what? you think theyre gonna get out and never touch pot again when they already have nothing? recidivism is something thats tracked for a reason

olivemaple-24 OP

honestly drugs need to be incorporated into our social system, and almost decriminalized. lacing and other forms of tampering have to be dealt with and there needs to be a single safe place to buy from. that’s kinda what countries should incorporate. especially for shit like crack and lsd and dmt, there has to be a safe place to buy it from. usa was run by drug money at one point and even if there was a government owned drug clinic for like phycedelixa it would be better than buying from a sketchy dealer or off the dark we

oceanranger-15

exactly my point yes, a place to get clean needles, proper healthcare, education about the dangers of sharing needles, drug testing kits, access to rehab for people without insurance or family stuff like that

oceanranger-15

it would cost money yes, but it could help cut down on overdoses, drug use, crime rates, HIV/AIDS cases, etc etc

oceanranger-15

id be fine with my tax dollars going toward social programs aimed at helping addicts instead of funding prisons full of people who just wanted a blunt after work
