Why didn't the hippies get into the jfk assassination ?

[Jan Klimkowski]

My own beliefs would be along the lines of those expressed in the italicised section. It is becoming increasingly apparent that there are numerous potential health benefits to psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelic drugs, above and beyond their abilities to positively alter consciousness when used responsibly. But that does not preclude them from being used as a tool of social control when combined with weaponised culture, psyops, manipulation of the education system and any number of other factors. It is not simply a case of the drugs being good or bad, and we must be wary of conflating explication with exculpation.

But LSD wasn't useful as a tool of social control.

All hell broke loose when it was first unleashed because of the massive doses people were dropping, but within a few years marketable doses became the norm. It's use has remained fairly consistent.

Next week tens of thousands of young people are going to gather in the Nevada desert at Burning Man and lots of acid will be dropped. Nobody is going to make a big deal of it.

Yeah - we did this on page 4 of the thread.

The enlightenment of acid replaced by the hedonism of coke

Sometimes the deepest of deep political insights can be expressed in a single, poetic line.
