cut them out of your life or get them help. use profits to fund rehabilitation and education. if you're stupid enough to get into heroin and meth, you're probably not going to let the law stop you, but you shouldn't go to jail for possessing it or making it out of plants in the privacy of your own home. i do agree that dangerous drugs such as meth and heroin would be better off decriminalized rather than legalized, so that it remains illegal to sell but not to posses, but i don't think anyone should go to jail for acquiring them by their own means.
we do have to draw a legal limit to what humans can morally get away with on earth, or else people would be stealing and killing without consequence, but the war on drugs is a travesty and is hindering the mental progression of humanity. most people who have had a psychedelic experience will attest that nature is trying to help us (i'm looking forward to reading the book how to change your mind by michael pollan), yet we've let nixon convince the masses that the counterculture is bad and therefore people are losing their freedoms and spending their lives in prison for trying to open their mind and become better individuals or even form a religious belief from it.
more specifically, if we legalized psychedelics, we could help people overcome their addictions to more dangerous substances because like it or not, these substances work with your neurotransmitters to achieve what used to be seen as impossible. we would also see humanity looking past all this political money bullshit and focus more on the reality of love and nature and what's really important. so while i'm not saying we should make it easy to get harmful drugs like meth, i still don't think it should be a criminal act if you figure out how to acquire it on your own, and i sure as hell think it's a sin to have a war on psychedelics. as far as cocaine, i see that as no different than alcohol. it's harmful but fun in moderation and if you're gonna let us poison our livers, might as well let us poison our nostrils.
the whole thing is complex, but right now the war on drugs is a blanket over too many useful substances to accept it as a good thing. but you are right, in that i shouldn't make a blanket statement such as "humans should be able to do whatever they want". we do need order and protection from chaos. i just think politicians are trying too hard to boss us around in unnecessary ways and ruining a lot of lives over plants and what mother nature gave us.

>Deliberately taking things to impair your reason and "have experiences" is put right up there with murder and idolatry.
There are drugs that do not impair reason, even during the temporary duration of taking said drug.
>We are likewise given reason and the longstanding traditions of the Church to guide us. And both of these clearly stand against deliberate impairment of the reason. God made man in His own image, and this is usually taken to mean that this "image of God" refers to the uniquely (among animals) human ability to reason and think in abstractions. So in deliberately impairing this God-given reason, we are defacing the image of God--just as surely as if we practiced self-harm or harm to others. The Bible and Church tradition completely concur that drinking in moderation is OK, but drunkenness and use of drugs for recreational purposes (at least when they impair the reason) are seriously bad things to do.
Psychedelic drugs have the potential to actually make you more sane - by harmonizing the brain's neural network which leads to novel and creative patterns of thinking which is particularly helpful in curing many mental disorders such as depression or anxiety.
>For years, the field of mental health has been largely barren of meaningful treatment advances. But now, scientists have new hope in the least likely of places: psychedelic drugs.

>LSD CAN TREAT MENTAL DISORDERS BY 'HARMONIZING' THE BRAIN
>
>In a new study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers from the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) in Barcelona, Spain, investigated why and how LSD relieves symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder, and how the drug triggers changes in consciousness.
>
>For the study, the researchers scanned the brains of 12 participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Some of the participants were given either a dose of LSD or a placebo, and another group was given the drug during or after listening to music.
>
>The researchers decided to include music listening in the study to find out if it could boost the therapeutic effects of LSD. Previous studies have shown that the drug can enhance emotional responses to music.
>
>LSD, short for lysergic acid diethylamide, has the effect of ‘harmonizing’, or synchronizing, electrical activity in different areas of the brain. In a process the researchers referred to as “repertoire expansion,” this harmonizing encourages the development of new, more ordered neural networks. Over time, the creation of these new networks may help sufferers develop different patterns of thinking that may alleviate the symptoms of their condition.
>
>“Exploring the combined effects of music and the psychedelic state induced by LSD provided us an opportunity to reveal not only the LSD-induced dynamical changes in the brain but also how these dynamics are affected by the presence of complex, natural stimuli like music,” the authors wrote in the study.
>
>Indeed, they found that taking LSD while listening to music actually made the drug more effective at ‘reorganizing’ the brain and synchronizing neural networks.

>And just look at the overall fruit of using these substances throughout society. Have they brought about a better, more loving society? Or do we rather see strewn about the wrecked lives of those who abuse drugs--wreckage which impacts families for generations. It is just another fruit of the culture of self-indulgence which causes so much harm to so many people.
I would categorically say that the use of mind altering substances have made the world a better place. Certainly drugs as a whole is a great mercy to the world that God ordained for us to receive. All things are created by God.
Most of the harm from mind altering drugs comes from the effort to criminalize them. I am reminded of the Alcohol Prohibition era. So much more harm was done by alcohol being made illegal than it is when it is legal and manageable like in the present.
>This new double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that LSD tends to reduce a person’s ability to recognize negative emotions while enhancing a person’s empathy and prosociality. “The present study also showed that LSD was well tolerated in a controlled setting in healthy subjects,” lead researcher Patrick C. Dolder and his colleagues wrote in their study.

>The researchers recruited 40 adult participants from the University of Basel in Switzerland. Eleven participants had previous experience with LSD, but the remaining 29 had never used the psychedelic drug before.

>Participants under the influence of LSD were less likely to recognize fearful and sad facial expressions. But the drug had no effect on the recognition of neutral, happy or angry facial expressions.

>LSD decreased cognitive empathy, but increased emotional empathy. Participants under the influence of LSD had trouble correctly inferring the mental state of a person in a photograph, but were more likely to feel concern for the person’s well-being.
>
>In addition, the drug increased prosocial behavior as measured by the Social Value Orientation Test. The test asked participants to choose how to distribute a small sum of money between themselves and other participants. Those under the influence of LSD tended to choose a more equal distribution, rather than seeking more for themselves.

Why not? We bring up tripping with our straight friends all the time. Maybe give them Michael Pollen on tripping. He is pretty mainstream and quite popular.
I would also suggest investigating your regional burning man community. They generally ahve facebook groups, and local events. They skew a bit older, and are pretty ok with tripping.

When I grew shrooms, it was really easy to give them away. I swear once someone found out I had them, I would get so many requests. Be aware that they do go bad, faster than LSD in my experience.

The research all suggests both are necessary to bring about the types of transformations most people are seeking, and whether the integration work is with a trip sitter, therapist, shaman or mate I don't think would really make much difference.

A worthy read on the subject of psychedelics: How To Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan:
cut them out of your life or get them help. use profits to fund rehabilitation and education. if you're stupid enough to get into heroin and meth, you're probably not going to let the law stop you, but you shouldn't go to jail for possessing it or making it out of plants in the privacy of your own home. i do agree that dangerous drugs such as meth and heroin would be better off decriminalized rather than legalized, so that it remains illegal to sell but not to posses, but i don't think anyone should go to jail for acquiring them by their own means.
