AOC is like a bad trip and wants company

“I took my [mescaline] pill at eleven ... I spent several minutes – or was it several centuries? – not merely gazing at those bamboo legs, but actually being them – or rather being myself in them; or, to be still more accurate (for "I" was not involved in the case, nor in a certain sense were "they") being my Not-self in the Not-self which was the chair.” ― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell 

Rep. Alexandria Occasionally-Coherent (Socialist-NY) wants to make it easier to check out magic mushrooms, man, and other cool s**t. And she can go for it, man, because she's in a position of unbridled power, she thinks, and after the shrooms, she's gonna want to study other psychedelic drugs and stuff.

The cooler-than-a-polar-bear's-butt congresswoman filed legislation on Friday aimed at making it easier for researchers to "study" the therapeutic and medical "benefits" of psychedelic drugs such as magic mushrooms, man, as her leftist crew is increasingly down for using mind-altering substances. [By down I mean up.]

AOC wants to end a rider that stops federal "frogskins" from being spent on "any activity that promotes the legalization of any drug or other substance in Schedule I" of the Controlled Substances Act. ...Man.

In her brilliant summary she states: "Academics and scientists report that provisions like this create [stigma] and insurmountable logistical hurdles to researching Schedule I drugs."

That's merely due to the stigma attached to those who mess up their lives with drugs and others who die from overdoses. But other than that, we cool

While certain entheogenic substances – such as mushrooms and peyote – have been used for centuries by Native American communities, the drugs were widely made illegal across the globe during the 1960s and 1970s. The tide, however, seems to be turning on these substances amid research at numerous universities into their efficacy in treating mental health issues and addiction.

An analysis published in October in Neuropharmacology, a medical journal focused on neuroscience, researchers from Johns Hopkins University recommended that psilocybin be reclassified for medical use – arguing its benefits in helping treat PTSD, depression and anxiety and helping people stop smoking by removing their will to do anything . . . anything at all.

AOC’s amendment comes on the heels on two major U.S. cities decriminalizing psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms, and some states allowing for the killing of the unborn up to the moment of birth and beyond.

In early May, voters in Denver passed a measure that makes the personal use and possession of psilocybin mushrooms by those 21 years of age or older Denver's "lowest law-enforcement priority," according to the measure's language. It does not legalize psilocybin or permit its sale by Denver's cannabis businesses but it's more of a crime to jaywalk in Denver than to use magic mushrooms, or "shrooms" as the kids call it.

And last Tuesday, the Oakland City Council passed a resolution to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms and make defecating on public streets an accepted past time. 

AOC thinks that's cool, and if she thinks it's cool, then it's cool . . . man.
