A Million Trips Later, What was LSD All About? Was it a Recreational Drug? OR Was it More Like a Telephone that Allowed People to Call GOD DIRECTLY?

Was it a Significant Event in The History of The World or as Trivial as a Roller Coaster Ride? We Did Get a Lot of Excellent Rock Music Songs. Is it Even Possible to Buy a "Stairway to Heaven" anymore? 

My Opinion: It Awakened Me to The POSSIBILITY of True Enlightenment. I Realized That There Were WORTHY Goals in Life... and That I Ought To Put Some Effort into...

Creating Art, Writing Music, Writing Fiction and Publishing a Political Opinion Blog... Marching in Anti-War Protest Marches... Campaigning Against Evil Political Candidates... and IN GENERAL... Living a Moral Life... Not Doing Evil... That SOUNDS OBVIOUS But... So Many "Corporate-Corporate" Greed Freaks DID NOT TAKE A TRIP AND DID NOT GRASP THESE SIMPLE CONCEPTS... SAD... 

I Took Jobs That Made a Difference... I Did Work That Made the World a Better Place to Live EVEN THOUGH Doing Evil Paid More Money! For Example: Early in My Career as a Draftsman, I Designed Weapons for the US Air Force... but... After I Got Laid Off, I Chose to Design Mail Sorting Machines for the United States Postal Service... AND WAS MUCH HAPPIER! Doing Evil All Day Every Day is NOT A Great Way To Live...

I Have Noticed that People Who Had the Psychedelic Experience Turned Out to BE NICE, KIND and HAPPY. 
CORPORATE GREED FREAKS Missed Out on "The Sixties..." 

The CIA Project MKULTRA Concluded that LSD Had No Value as a "Weapon of War." Does it Have a Value as a "Weapon of PEACE?" In General, Populations that Took LSD Turned Out To Be LESS VIOLENT than Similar Groups... Acidheads are often interested in Art, Music, Poetry, Organic Farming, Love, Peace, Ecology... GEE, What If Everyone Was Like That? 

We are Seeing a Movement to Legalize Magic Mushrooms... What About LSD and Peyote? What IF We Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics FIRST and then Recreational Psychedelics Later. The Main Advantage to Legalization is there Would Not Be the FEAR of Getting Arrested as a Setting for Your Trip. I Have Experienced that Tripping WAY OUT IN THE WOODS has a FREEDOM aspect to it. On Occasions where My Friends and I Were the Only People for Miles Around... We were More Relaxed than Tripping in Public. 

ANOTHER Massive Advantage is that the Chemical Fabrication of LSD Would be Better Quality. Often, Illegal Chemists Make a Substandard Product OR Sell an Entirely Different Chemical (DOM) and Call it "ACID" - I Have Spoken with People that Took DOM (sometimes called STP) and their Three Day Trip was Frightening and Awful. We Would Certainly Reduce the Number of Trips to the Emergency Room with Quality Control. 

What about all the recent talk about embracing Death? Will We Be Grateful?

People That Have Had The Psychedelic Experience Are, In General, Nice. It's The "Straights" That Are Destroying the World.

What IF tRUMP Took a LSD Trip and Had the Realization... "Gosh, Maybe I Ought To STOP DOING EVIL!" The Whole World Would Be Grateful... Ya THINK? Well, Since it No Longer Matters What tRUMP Thinks... Substitute The CEO of DOW Chemical... HE'S Pure Evil... 


MEME - Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics - gvan42 Gregory Vanderlaan

What If There Really IS Medicinal Value to Psychedelic Drugs?
Will CRAZYLAWS Prevent Real People From Getting Medicine That Could Benefit Them?

Why NOT Let Doctors Make Decisions About Medicine?

Do Politicians Have ANY CLUE AT ALL ABOUT PSYCHEDELICS?  

Psychedelics Are Interesting... I'm Glad I took LSD, Peyote, DMT, MDMA and Magic Mushrooms... for a Brief Moment I experienced Oneness with the Universe... Enlightenment... Then The Feeling Evaporated... However, Eventually The Psychedelic Experience Became Boring... Predictable... Unworthy... Kinda Like Riding a Roller Coaster... FUN as a Young Person but Not as an Old Person... We would ALL be better off With Legalization... It's ABSURD to Incarcerate People For Psychedelics... The Entire Era of the US Government Behaving Insane Should Stop... https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2017/06/legalize-medicinal-psychedelics-let.html
