You see, some laws are wrong, authority CAN be wrong. Murder should be punished, doing drugs should not, simple as that.
Show me someone serving 10 years in prison for using acid and marijuana

Christianity does not involve poisonous chemicals.

I would agree that using drugs should not be punished IF the user (or voluntary charity) pays for the consequences of the use. That is currently not the case.

Suppose you take your LSD and wind up in a tax-funded mental institution? You wind up punishing the taxpayer (taking money from him) when, to quote you, the taxpayer "didn't alter anyone's life and certainly didn't harm anyone." How do you justify that?

LSD-Topic Overview

Quote:
Serious psychiatric conditions can develop after even one use of LSD. The cause of these effects is not known. The effects include:
  • Drug-induced psychosis. Psychosis is a serious condition in which the person has lost the ability to recognize reality, think rationally, or communicate with others

She was a drug dealer dealing out of her home, having her children make the change. Good riddance to this open soar on the community.

Umm.. LSD is not a poisonous chemical, it rejuvenates your body and mind, it's 3 lousy NATURAL compounds. The only current dangers of "lsd" are some jerk passing off some chemical as LSD to unsuspecting victims, if it was legal it would be tested for and regulated.

If you're pre-disposed to mental illness you're a ticking time bomb, it would happen no matter what. I believe LSD is an important experience for the human soul, psylocybin mushrooms as well to an extent. If everyone did it once in their life around the age of 19-21 years old we'd have a much more understanding and spiritual world.

Most religions become very angry at those who contact the divine without first being put to death.

She got tagged for $31 worth of pot. Sentenced to over a decade at a cost to the tax payer exceeding a quarter of a million dollars.
