Reasonable Drugs

This brings us to the idea of 'reasonable drugs.' Alcohol fits within this Idea. Our collective brain has come to realize that Alcohol is not an entity to be fucked around with, and so it has legalized Alcohol. We wonder about other drugs. Are there other 'reasonable drugs?' We wonder.

Nowadays we are struggling with the idea.

I propose that we consider Marijuana and LSD to be in the category of 'reasonable drugs.' I propose both of those drugs on the basis of 'upside-downside economics.' I am convinced that both drugs contribute much more to 'civilization' than they take away.

In the case of Marijuana, most everybody does it!

In the case of LSD, the argument must necessarily be more subtle: most folks who do LSD are not willing to do LSD more than once. Furthermore, even those folks who do LSD repetitively eventually drop the practice. Therefore LSD ought not be considered 'an addictive drug.'

But most folks who do LSD will say that the experience improved their lives. This is important. Those people will furthermore say that LSD introduced them into an enormous world which had previously eluded them.
