Why is LSD illegal?

[BidenPresident]

When your mind is no longer your own you can be far more dangerous to yourself and others. Hallucinations are more dangerous than being buzzed.

No one drives after taking LSD.

they don't have to, th6ey are still a danger to themselves and others.

and just because you do not drive high is no proof that "no one" does.

You certainly have the statistics. Post them. Debate for once in your life you stupid troll.

The psychedelic drug LSD was first prohibited long before U.S. President Richard Nixon declared an “all-out offensive” on drug abuse in June 1971.

Then in 1968, U.S. Congress passed a bill amending the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to ban the personal possession of LSD at the federal level.

Two years later, on October 27, 1970, the Controlled Substances Act was signed into law.

Who says your mind is your own not in LSD?

wrong. What do you think happened when the Grateful Dead brought 10's of thousands of people to a venue that had no onsite camping?

I have never tried it, but I plan on doing so when my kids are a little older....


Why would it be illegal?

It's been decriminalized in Oregon. It's legal to possess small amounts. I'll never try processed LSD, but someday, I will try mushrooms - the psychotropic kind.

[LurchAddams]

Maybe you should try Fentanyl first. Lots of Fentanyl.

Your humor sucks donkey dicks.

It is on the schedule 1 list. So it is illegal because lawmakers have determined that it has no valid medical use and has a high risk of abuse. I believe that this drug reached that list because of the risks of flashbacks where users who have stopped taking the drug experience effects of the drug even though they no longer take it and have not for sometimes very long periods of time. It has also been related (by the same legislators) to psychoses, like schizophrenia and/or severe depression. Users have also had accidents, etc. under the influence endangering others.

That is the "why" of it, though I'd love to hear some statistics and read some studies regarding the dangers. For instance, how often might somebody have a flashback? Is that still an issue? How often do they cause accidents in comparison to alcohol users? Things like that.

Flashbacks are rare. I've done LSD about 30 times and never had one.
LSD is being used in clinical research to help those with depression or alcoholism.

a percentage of them drove. Arrests were also made. Your retarded lies are demonstrably false.

Do you agree with this being a valid federal law though?

The premise for this authority is the commerce clause expanded via precedent when the courts upheld legislation banning a farmer from growing wheat for personal use. Although he had no intentions of selling that wheat - the mere fact that other people buy wheat means his non commercial activity can be regulated be the federal government as commercial activity.
