It isn't. The notion that it will forestall human extinction is, though.

Well, this is why I didn’t wanna list it earlier. Then I would have to explain how collecting billions of dollars could be used to prevent extinction.
Ideas that until we’re able to even tax them more than one percent. Would serve no purpose in this thread.
Ideas I have had.

Drugs suck at connecting people. You know what's great at connecting people? Cellphones.
And most of those so called "poor people that don't have toilets" have access to cellphones, so are they really all that poor when they got the latest iphone?
I think we should tax those people. The ones that have poor financial planning, leading to a phone and no shitter. Having a place to spew verbal diarrhea is less important than a place to spew actual, tangible diarrhea. That they get from all the dysentery, from all the shitting they otherwise do in a not-shitter. Street shitters.
Healthier, too. Mentally and physically. Instead of figuring out a place to poo, people complain about Shitler in politics.

That’s just squeezing more out of the lowest denominator. We should be taxing the people that are making the most. It would cost them very little on the hole, and it would be enormous because of the volume.

Stoner street knowledge ...
Drugs do, in fact, bring people together... albeit sometimes in a crack house.
Sometimes in the Telesterion...
Sometimes in the club, the bar, the break room at the coffee pot, the hospital waiting room, the pharmacy counter.... Drugs bring people together indeed.

people also murder eachotherr for drugs.
you sound like a kid after his first dose.
its dangerous and will get you in trouble big time with that attitude.
drugs are dangerous. they are not a panacea. they are a tool.
but like any tool must be used by people who know how to use them.

I lived only a few miles from where some meth heads murdered and stuffed a guy into a barrel. I think I may have got that one already...

My old maintenance man was murdered by his meth head girlfriend and some guys. They faked his suicide by hanging him. She is in prison now.

Drugs connect people the same way that communal street pooping connects people.
You're gonna get dysentery. Or full blown AIDS.

How about endogenous phenethylamine?
How about
Quote:
Simultaneously the breath was monitored for VOC and CO2. While some breath compounds (methanol and acetone) changed uniformly irrespective of the film order, several compounds did show significant arousal associated changes. For both genders CO2 and isoprene decreased in the sex clip. Some male individuals showed particularly strong increases of indole, phenol and cresol coincident with sexual arousal that decreased rapidly afterwards. These VOCs are degradation products of tyrosine and tryptophan, precursors for dopamine, noradrenalin, and serotonin, and therefore represent potential breath markers of sexual arousal.

Emotions and brain function are altered up to one month after a single high dose of psilocybin

Honest answer: they’re actively stoking the prophecy of Revelations, which will invariably lead to all us good folk getting raptured before the seas boil over.

But the way in which they affect the brain.. Psilocybin changes the brain... does not merely affect it temporarily. Hence "cum spe meliore moriendi." Cicero was writing about a lived experience of change, which is exactly what Aristotle said about Eleusis, that it is for the sake of deeply changing you, and accepting that change.

You are not correctly interpreting that study. The affect of psylocybin on the brain persists for 1 month. That would be the definition of temporary. It did not say anything about a permanent change.

Watching my dog get run over at the mail box changed my brain forever. Such is life and drugs are not so special in the brain changing but just another thing. I do admit to liking documentary type brain productions though.
