Society conceives drug users as a menace to society by way of nonproductive individuals whose only concern is the next hit. We are seen as derelicts, unsavory people based on stigma associated with drugs the addict, the pusher, organized crime and corruption. Seldom is pictured the casual user, contributor to society, tax payer, and family man considered criminal because that is not how society sees us. How do you educate modern society after years of propaganda lies and mistruths spawned by government policy war on drugs?

LSD and other psychoactive substances are not harmful in the traditional sense of dependency or addiction unlike alcohol, tobacco and opioids which have at some point in American history were all promoted as safe by government standards. This has never been true about psychedelics which were experimented and distributed to the military and public sectors as a means for mind control. When that failed to meet the criteria of forcing people to carry out crimes against humanity sponsored by the military psychedelics were deemed useless and without therapeutic value. All research stopped because psychedelics did not perform the way government planned through mind control. Can you imagine the military or government agency forcing you to do things you cannot refuse, scary. This was the objective mind control LSD testing.

50 years later, scientist are taking a second look at the potential value of psychedelics related to mental health and recreational use. The stigma associated with these types of substances will change as society learns to accept psychedelics as the new norm.
