It is always hardly predictable where a trip might lead to, especially without guidance or in a hostile environment. Whereas most consumers, especially in the 1960s, were enthusiastic about the drug’s physical safety, some few cases showed that LSD could also break down the mind, especially of those who already suffered from psychoses. But, on the other hand, for many more the hallucinogen bore the potential to open a new age where the unconsciousness can be explored and rationality being replaced by emotionality. While the legacy of many facets of the 1960s has positively prevailed until today, the LSD discourse vanished completely out of attention. Maybe a continuing scientifically research of LSD would lead to a state, where it could be inserted well-directed, yet for now LSD is just another
1.1 The Medicines Act 1968 - this act is there to govern the manufacture of medication and controls the supply of drugs. It does not outline any offence for possession as it is only an offence if the drug is also controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. This act outlines three categories of medicines: • General Sales List, these are medicines which can be bought from any shop without a prescription. • Prescription of medicines, these are only available from a pharmacist if they are prescribed by an appropriate doctor. • Pharmacy medicines, these are available from a pharmacist without a prescription.
Maybe "marijuana recovery" should stop being hoisted as propaganda, and should be a service for those few who truly need it. How many alcoholics would go to AA if Prohibition was still in effect? There is a lot of propaganda out there about pot, and all I'm asking for those reading this is to give the argument for (and against) legalization a fair shake, and to not let beliefs founded on propaganda, someone else's moral standards, or beliefs unfounded in fact to sway you. Look at the arguments and decide for yourself. There are plenty of individuals who don't smoke marijuana (or don't smoke it anymore) and still think it should be legalized, so let the facts help you make your decision, not the propaganda.

Many Native Americans have long used psilocybin and mescaline along with sitting in a sauna type hut to induce an out of body experience, or spirit quests, as part of a religious ritual or healing practices (Ciccarelli & White, 2010). Marijuana is one of the oldest psychoactive drugs and dates back to BC times but did not become popular in the United States until the beginning of the twentieth century (Inciardi & McElrath, 2011). At that time it was mostly used mostly by minority groups and became part of the national prohibition movement being outlawed as a drug of major concern (Inciardi & McElrath, 2011). Today, marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the United
Sixteen years later the state has had time to evaluate how successful the medical marijuana program has been and how it has helped the state and its patients. The state currently has well over 200,000 medical marijuana users who lawfully use and cultivate marijuana. Sixteen years ago these 200,000 patients purchased marijuana illegally on the black market. Often drug deals would go bad, ending in patients either being killed or robbed or arrested by the police. Proposition 215 has provided a safe and efficient way for patients to obtain and use Marijuana legally without fear of incarceration.

Crack is not a drug it is an epidemic; it has ruined millions of lives and will continue to do so until it is completely removed from out country. Cocaine, while not as highly addictive as crack, also has a steady if not rising demand in our country that will only subside if the supply is completely removed. It can be disputed whether or not morphine is more addictive than cocaine or crack but what cannot is which is more readily available in the streets. On the other hand, I see morphine use on the steady decline. Primarily, since morphine is a pharmaceutical drug, it is a much more difficult for people to come in contact with it.
When Lane says, “ Recreational use is not the smartest thing” I absolutely agree. A lot of adolescents start smoking marijuana because they are peer pressured. The more they do it, the more they seem to want to keep doing it to “fit in”. It seems that the earlier someone is to start smoking marijuana the more decided they are about legalizing it. Legalizing marijuana would make our government look terrible; because marijuana is a drug that most people use to “escape” or just because they like the feeling.
