    Oh good they listed them all in one place so if a doctor references it I know to just get up and walk the fuck out.

    True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed “Here is a prescription for some meds” while handing me the prescription.

    It wasn’t a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote “Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything.”

    Big Pharma is everywhere! /s

    […] psychedelics […]

    I’m glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.

      Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.

    […] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]

    I’ll be honest, I don’t really understand this one. I’d guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don’t really understand why it’s still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren’t we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.

    […] raw milk […]

    I’d support raw milk being legal for consumers to purchase so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn’t safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.

            What is it with this americans aversion for raw milk, it’s not like you’ll fall down dead if you drink it.

            Do you also burn your salmon and cook your meat?

            In france there are lots of cheese (no really?) and many are forbidden for import to the USA because of stuff like raw milk. Guess that’s why we have the watch coming by getting all the dead babies every tuesday.

            Maybe I’m missing something, please do enlighten me!

            I also think insurance shouldn’t cover cancer treatment for smokers. Or diabetes treatment for overweight people. Or broken bones for skiers. Or literally anything for anyone who has ever done anything bad for them. /s

              Why shouldn’t they be able to sue cigarette companies or companies releasing unsafe products?

              Why should my insurance be higher whilst cigarette companies are benefiting off their shit marketing

            What if a child were given raw milk by their parents? Should a child be forced to pay for their parents’ decisions, potentially with their life?

      Oh, he knows. They took him on an airplane and made him eat food he had just called “poison” for a photo shoot.

      He couldn’t say no, because of the implication.

        Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn’t make him eat it. But the thing is, he’s not gonna say no, because of the implication.

    I actually met this mother fucker in Mexico in 1999, giving a talk on habitat preservation at Lagoona San Ignacio to a bunch of C list celebrities who were there to support the Natural Resource Defense Council and it’s efforts to stop Mitsubishi from building a salt extraction plant in the middle of a gray whale breeding sanctuary (super good cause).

    I was there with a bunch of high school students who’s rich white parents paid for them to go on an expensive ass field trip to watch whales fuck (and do eco protest activist tourism). Coincidentally, the NRDC was there too and they got really excited to invite a bunch of American highschool students to their media shindig.

    RFK Jr. got SUPER drunk and gave a sloppy, rambling, barely coherent speech, thanking people for their generosity. The kids were like “WTF is up with this dude? We’ve never seen grownups act like this!”

    We did get to hear some really cool marine biologists talk about gray whales. Then one of THEM (Roger Payne, I think) got really drunk too and told us “Whales are people damn it! But you can’t publish that! You can’t fucking publish that!”

    Wait so he is pro psychedelics?

    Huh, it would be really weird if the US legalized acid.

    If maga starts doing acid to own the libs maybe they would finally start questioning things.

    I know I’m wrong, but one can hope can’t they?

      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

      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.
