I wonder if this pill would’ve made Dick larger or made him small.

    Unfortunately we now know very well that simply doing a lot psychedelics is not going to turn you from a shit person into a normal person.

      the thing is…psychedelics can make psychopaths feel empathy. wish i had a source for that, but i think i heard it on behind the bastards. me and robert went to high school together and we always smoked weed while trolling libtards on the chans (robert was different back then)

      but my point is that maybe LSD would have been a good thing to give nixon! maybe it would have made that cold-blooded drunk psychopath feel enough empathy to stop bombing vietnam and cambodia! that’s right, folks. drugs save lives.

    It probably would have helped. Honestly, someone needs to get all of the world leaders tripping balls in one place. I, for one, would welcome a shaman-led society.

        Can confirm. Someone put several hits in my beer when I was twenty. I did not enjoy it. I did in fact start violently questioning everyone who was there about it for the next few months. To the point everyone who was there was tired of my asking about it. Due to my persistence I finally found out who did it I showed them how much I appreciated it several times. The idiot told his dad about it and he came to straighten me out. I weighed 200 pounds with no fat. I worked slinging scrap iron all day. It did not go dads way. He called the cops and stupidly admitted why he came to my house. Cops cited him and soon his asshole son was not in town anymore.

        To this day I wont drink from a container that has left my sight. One of the first things I taught my daughter when she was old enough was how not to get roofied. She in turn passed on that knowledge when she went to college and became a RA. It prevented a young lady from getting assaulted when some of those young women noticed one of their peers who did not get the message acting way out of character.

          All drinks that leave sight are dead. Rip drinks. A lesson I was also taught by did not have to learn the hard way yet. Because they’re dead the second they leave my sight.

        I wish more people understood this. I hate people that don’t respect the right of other people to choose with their own free will.

      Ali G got all of the British politicians in a room, spiked the tea with Mary Jane, and got them all talking. They ended up solving world hunger, poverty, or something else.

      Another comment claims that’s 4-12 times a normal dose, so I can’t imagine it’d go over very well

    She was trying to change his mind.
    Read a great book by Micheal Pollan, *How to change your mind. *

    The problem is psychedelic effects need proper setting and context for users to get a positive experience. Just poisoning people will not work as intended. But put Nixon in context, he inherited Vietnam from Kennedy, he started the war on Cancer, he even started a plan for universal healthcare that was rebranded Obamacare. While he is quite villanized, there have been worse Presidents since him.
