>Everyone should take LSD at least once in their life .

Or mushrooms. I agree, mostly - it's an experience that an incredible number of people could potentially benefit from, but most never will simply because of social stigma, misinformation, and difficulty of access, and although growing your own isn't that difficult, the illegality prevents most people. Wild identification is possible, but you have to be really careful and know a decent amount about mushrooms. All of the above applies to LSD as well, except it has to be obtained via a dealer, which the vast majority of people don't have access to. Almost anybody can order a spore kit online and buy the basic equipment required to grow them at the local hardware store.

Unsurprisingly, terminally ill patienrs respond resoundingly well to psilocybin.

>“All of a sudden, everything familiar started evaporating,” he recalled. “Imagine you fall off a boat out in the open ocean, and you turn around, and the boat is gone. And then the water’s gone. And then you’re gone.”

>Today, more than a year later, Dr. Martin credits that six-hour experience with helping him overcome his depression and profoundly transforming his relationships with his daughter and friends. He ranks it among the most meaningful events of his life, which makes him a fairly typical member of a growing club of experimental subjects.

But whether or not everybody should take LSD is questionable, as I can imagine a great number of people would have a negative reaction - use has to be controlled very carefully, otherwise you can set your self up for a bad trip and long-lasting mental problems. Even trips that are tightly controlled and are undertaken by experienced users take sinister and terrifying turns.

You should take drugs that deal with the root of your problems and fears and force you to confront, deal with, and most importantly, accept them.

>We all know alcohol, weed, illegal drugs and other shit is bad for you

lol.

>What if we hid the information about side-effects; say such as effects of marijuana. People take that shit, get sick, eventually need medical care. This will bring in revenue for hospitals.

lol.

>Doesn't have to be weed; could be anything that people do not have much information about.

lol.

>People are responsible for their own actions. Just because they end up diseased and with cancer, doesn't mean we have to spend for their wrongdoings.

lol.

>Can't we just fucking use these people, I mean if it's illegal in the first place, why the fuck would they complain?

lol.

You are fucking retarded.
