nah bad idea, a dose of most hallucinogens creates a cross-tolerance that precludes doses from working for multiple days after. it's why it's basically impossible to develop truly crippling addiction

Substitute opium for pot and you've got a great reason to go full Vietnam on Afghanistan!

Also I'm sure there's a bunch of fun discovered and undiscovered dope in the Brazilian rainforest.

they gave that elephant 297mg, humans have survived 55mg (a typical dose is a few hundred micrograms), it's an insane dose but elephants are enourmous and it's pretty likely that the elephant was killed by the pentobarbital they gave it afterwards when the seizures started and not the acid itself

I’m really surprised they didn’t mention Albertsons. They basically followed what Kroger did when it came to hazard pay and bonuses. This week we got a bonus of $100 for part timers and $200 for full timers for our hard work from May to November. Its laughable compared to what other companies have paid their employees.

Does that basically work out to about one hour of bonus pay per month? Because LMAO holy poo poo

Would death by acid trip be more or less humane than the obvious culling method of "shoot them"? This is obviously something we need to plan for, what with elephants not being hunted to near extinction for their tusks.

We should be encouraging the development of new recreational drugs to replace the old problematic drugs in our lives. Drugs that make you feel nice and loose and pro-social, but don't leave a hangover or develop dependencies. Maybe if you take too much, you just fall asleep before you can OD. You could also develop mild hallucinogens that give you a trippy visual experience for a few hours, then wears off gently, no harsh comedown. Fun for a party or a concert or a night at home staring at swarms of spiders on the ceiling with the whole family. Save the heavy entheogens for guided therapy sessions.

It would cost literal tens of millions. We aren't even sure what the ld50 is in humans, there hasn't been a recorded reliable fatality from it.

Brb, I need to write a research grant. I guess to cull the homeless or something?

Is LSD production actually expensive? I was under the impression that it's fairly simple to make, the hard part is the illegality? And I guess the market for non-addictive drugs is less lucrative and thus has fewer suppliers.

Simple in that you just need the lab experience of someone with a masters in chemistry, sure. Oh, and the lab to go with it.

During the 90s, most of the world's LSD was produced in an old rocket silo in Wamego, Kansas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Sand

A lot of LSD production dried up after a big raid on the facility in the late 90s, and also when the Grateful Dead stopped touring, which cut off one of the major distribution networks for the drug.

Yes, I'm serious.

I agree with this, but there's more.

In a car, you could potentially make am ad that says "It has this much power, it has this range per unit of gasoline, it has this and that safety measures." That is, concrete, measurable things.

You cant say anything like that about perfume. Deodorants, detergent, toothpaste, freshener.... the ad can only sell an image, a sensation.
