Yeah this is actually really hopeful in a fucked up way. I really hope they legalize psychedelics. They are an extremely effective way to get people to stop voting republican. Worked for me. It woke something up in me that made me realize how selfish and self-serving that entire party is. I'm the only one in my family who no longer votes republican, and also the only one who has tried psychedelics. I think that says a lot.
When people talk about psychedelics converting everyone to the left, I think about Joe Rogan, and how he has had many many more psychedelic experiences than your average person. Also, assholes like John McAfee, exist. So, psychedelics don't seem to automatically make everyone empathetic, like is so often preached.
I would love for this to be true, and I believe there are many benefits to psychedelics…but then I remember the Manson family existed
Edit: I fully support psychedelics..just saying.
And on a friendlier, non-Manson note. Please share your favorite psych related music @ !psychedelicmusic@lemmy.world
