Asking my local political candidates if they will legalize drugs if elected.
    #29702549 -

There are 4 Republicans running for my local house seat. It's a very conservative area so the Republican primary is essentially where the election will be decided. Three of the candidates are your typical cookie-cutter conservative nutjob type. The other comes across as more pragmatic. Well, they are all doing a forum where members of the general public can ask them questions. I might go and ask if they support legalizing marijuana and shrooms and maybe some other drugs. To make it harder for them to blow my question off, I think I'll tie the issue to the state's sky-high suicide rate, and how substances can help bring it down.

This event might be recorded. If it is I'll post the video here for you all to watch. Otherwise I'll just recount what happened.

I know there's a snowball's chance in hell drugs get legalized here, but at least we can put the assholes on the spot for being assholes. I hope I can inspire other people to do the same.

Candidates will likely say yes to legalizing drugs in order to get your vote. Then after elected will do no such thing. Even though legalizing drugs will save lives. That's politics.

Legalized drugs are buden on socially health and well being able to have  legal weeds is a trap. Your better off it being illegal with crimal charges that can be reduced then getting caught with weed you didn't pay taxes on, because financial crimes can not be lessened or pardoned.

Colorado suicide rate was 17.5 per 100,000 in 2011. Colorado suicide rate 20.8 per 100,000 in 2026. It's an increase, legalizing weed made it worst and it's made it worst for every state that has been.

Correlation is not causation.  It might hint at a link, but without further investigation and actual evidence, all that shows is the suicide rate went up in Colorado.

I'm sure there aren't any other reasons at all why the suicide rate might be up in the last 15 years.  None whatsoever, must be the legal weed.

I didn't say I accepted the other assertion, either, I was being snide.  I just wanted actual evidence.  Also, I wouldn't give too much credence to a survey, even one with a high population like that one.  They're breeding grounds for multiple strong statistical biases that taint any inference one might make off of them.  Does it warrant more research?  Absolutely.  But, the results are far from conclusive.

My guess is the suicide rate increase is due to all the Californians who moved there due to legal changes, then realized there's no beach.

They weren't getting enough sodium from the air and the resulting hyponatremia drove them off the deep end.

I still assert that legalizing drugs will save lives. In case no one has noticed, the nations illegal drug supply is tainted. Primarily with fentanyl, but other drugs as well. Many people die from that every year. If drugs are legal and regulated, no more fentanyl or other deadly drugs. Lives are saved.

I have seen no studies that cannabis prevents suicide. But there are numerous studies over the years that psychedelics do. Suicide primary cause is from depression. Psilocybin and LSD prevents depression, sometimes in just one dose for many months and even years. Think about all the veterans and health care workers whose lives will be saved after legalization. They wouldn't have to travel to Mexico. They can be treated right at home.

That's like say those peptides drugs are pure cause legal. They are just tainted. Same with prescription drugs.
A better argument for legalizing all drug including fentanyl is its safety at its effective dose.

Where is your saves lives data.

Don't forget to ask about about tax free legalizing.

Taxes are good bait for legalizing drugs though. If there's one thing politicians like, it's money.

I did it guys.

They read 2 of my questions:

To 2 candidates: Would you be open to allowing access to psychedelic drugs like magic mushrooms and LSD to treat depression, anxiety and PTSD?

Candidate A: Blabbed about maybe legalizing marijuana if there is clinical evidence it helps. Didn't talk about shrooms or LSD.

Candidate B: "You said LSD? I think people should get back to work" (scattered applause in the audience".

And then later I had another question read to a candidate: Would you legalize marijuana for medical use? She said she looked into in 2014, but recently looked into it again and because of how it turned out in Florida and Colorado, she doesn't support it. But she said she supports other natural remedies and she makes her own tinctures.

After the questions, some candidates got to stay in the lobby and I talked to whoever I could and most of the reps and senators I talked to were open to drug reform.

I talked to the sheriff and he said he personally believes a drugs laws should change, but said he just enforces the law, he doesn't write it. I pressed him on that because he has a lot of discretion over how the laws are enforced. He also said something about a case of someone who got lost after doing shrooms in the forest.

I also talked with candidate B from earlier, and he said he isn't necessarily against legal marijuana with lots of guard rails but is against legal LSD. He thought it was like battery acid. I told him it's like shrooms, but then someone else cut me off before I could elaborate.
