Yea, it seems to me that a problem with the "movement" is that "we" see "them" as enemies. This shouldn't be the case.
I agree with whoever said that you should try to convert 15-20 people instead of starting some mass campaign.
Changing society from the inside is bound to work eventually, because there will be no one left to resist. It's a slow process, but I don't see anything wrong with that. Better slow and steady than oscillating all the time and never really getting anywhere.
To tell the truth, I don't really see psychedelic drugs as being legalized anytime soon. Pot, sure. But pot really isn't where it's at compared to, say, LSD or psilocybin. I think that I can handle hallucinogen use, sure, but I've read several stories of kids on shrooms who run around outside naked and attack cops...obviously, not everyone is ready for it.
I don't think our society really values fun at all. I think fun is the only real thing in life. I only live for fun. I see this difference between my view, and grown-up society's view (I'm only 19, and I admit that perhaps that's the reason for this difference) and I respect both views. Maybe I don't understand their view, but they also don't understand mine.
I think perhaps psychedelics will be legalized in the form of therapeutic chemicals in the somewhat-near future (as shown by the new MDMA studies being done now) but I don't see them being legalized.
Which sucks, because I just wanna take some sid on a Friday night and talk to my friends without opening my mouth, and I don't wanna have to be considered mentally unstable in order to receive these chems!
