In some capacity. Plasma propulsion for use in deep space travel, generally within the bounds of the Oort cloud (though sometimes used for orbital stationkeeping and maneuvers).

drink up broski
The only drinkin' I do is from a styrofoam cup 
Seriously, though, I don't drink.
not even rye whiskey??? this is why the prohibition was fought, so we could drink rye whiskey
Rye? I like whiskey, but not rye. Wheat whiskey is where it's at 
I like whiskey, not the buzz from alcohol.

They're not anal, they're just stupid. Imagine being lied to your entire life, youd never know what was true and what wasnt. That is, unless youre able to disregard whats been told to you, and learn to think for yourself.

Her i thought you were a transgender male? I am not trying to say anything negative about the transgender community as i support peoples right to do what they want. But if you have a penis you are a male. Unless it is removed

I know im not going to flame op. Or say anything bad about transgender people because i dont feel negativley towards trans people. But saying genitalia has nothing to do with gender is wrong and so is calling me a dipshit for not saying her when i refer to you

ReaperAndRaven said: So yeah. Why is it that weed, LSD,LSA,Psilocin/Psilocybin,DMT,Mescaline and many other things are so strongly and universally frowned upon by western culture? Like, I feel like they are a window to some very amazing, beautiful things. Yes, you should not drive while tripping, but alcohol presumably has a similar risk factor in vehicular situations. There is nothing morally wrong about seeking a new perspective.
This has been bugging me for a long, long while. My mom was a lawyer, minor alcoholic, and used pot at parties a few times, but never agreed that weed (or any other mind altering substances) could be neutral or beneficial.
When you turn 18 and move out you can do all the drugs you want
please don't do drugs
The subject at hand is a very good one, but unfortunately the original post has so many things to throw this discussion overboard.
Not many people understand social programming is a must. It's how we form first world societies, however messed up they may be, and it's how cautionary "faerie tales" came popular.
A common misconception/perception I've seen over the years is that there's some massive reptilian overlord bad guy syndrome or ideology.
If someone can tell me how to best manage 300 million people in the world's leading superpower I'd like to hear it (literally not sarcastically).
You answered your own question: social manipulation/programming
Getting people to want to do things is easier than making them.

Because 1. they are illegal 2. most do have some serious potential for negative reactions 3. most aren't feel good drugs, which is what most uninformed people assume all drugs are for 4. they are intellectualy and emotionally challenging -the psychs 5. they aren't that widely used, and many users are involved in criminal activity which the general public then associates with these substances 6. the 60s 7. there isn't a long history of use in western cultures 8. etc etc so many reasons. Honestly its a testament to how amazing psychedelics are that they are even starting to be discussed again in this culture

No, trans female. In other words, I am transitioning from male to female. I don't have the money to throw at vaginoplasty, sadly. And not all trans women get it-- there are a lot of downsides. Seriously. And it's a mildly life-threatening procedure, as the blood loss sometimes horrendous.
