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.

    Most of them would probably just turn into Joe Rogan. Not all psychonauts become wise.

    Either it would have inspired some much needed self-awareness, empathy and consciousness of guilt, or... It would have driven him to fervently implement his 12 hour long Boschian hell-vision.

    Well, no. But that was rather my point: As helpful as I think infrequent responsible use of hallucinogens can be for those already given to self-reflection, when a person who've spent their entire life dodging their moral obligations and rationalizing away their doubts is suddenly confronted with exactly who and what they are and left with no way out, the results are not often beneficial.

    Non consensual tripping can be a nightmare, it's not the way to go.

    Especially on 5 times a normal dose. ESPECIALLY especially for a guy with a nuclear launch button in reach.

    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.

    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.

    Does Trump really have access to nukes? I don't think there's any way an order like that would be followed, all the most evil people on his staff are cowards who moved into military bases to feel safe

    What’s a “standard” dose?

    50–150 μg. 600 μg would severely fuck you up – let alone if you've never used it.

    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.

    No but audio tape of Nixon describing hearing colors would be the best selling comedy album ever recorded.

    I bet the ones she gave him wouldn't do anything at all.

    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.

    he inherited Vietnam from Kennedy

    He co-authored the Southern Strategy, he deliberately sabotaged the Vietnam peace talks to win the election, he explicitly targeted racial minorities and the anti-war left by starting the war on drugs, and need I even mention the obvious?

    That what Slick wanted to do would not have helped is not an invitation to whitewash this monster.

    Edit: And you mean "from LBJ", unless you mean to say that Kennedy started US involvement, which he didn't.
