In a world where everyone is on a never ending acid trip, would drugs that make you feel what we consider to be normal be illegal?
If pharmaceutical companies made drugs that made you feel normal then it probably would be illegal. But I can't really say for sure how the world would be if everyone was always on acid. It could be that nothing would be illegal.
evrybody would be naked...The cops would give out hugs instead of tickets...Everything would be controlled...Murders would vanish....The world would have reached Nirvana
Man this is a weird question. I mean, I'm assuming that if the norm state of conciousness is that of being on acid, then we'd be so accustomed to it that if you were to experience anything differently, that state of conciousness would be considered tripping or going out of your head. But since being on acid is sooo strange, I could not say for sure what the masses would think if they were on it all the time. Very strange and intriguing, but pointless question.
Tripping is chemistry and joules. We are always tripping. Also you control you what you trip over although you may do so both consciously at one time, and without regard or mechanically at another. The mechanical or disregarded is what people refer to as normal.
Yeah if everyone was used to tripping and being sober now means being fucked up then there's a chance it would be illegal
this isnt a popular experience with some-but i tripped every 3 days like clockwork for years and functioned--worked drove lived while on acid----had some problems but never got caught-----and always on 1 hit--which in those days was 100-120 mics--approx----maybe 70 -80 i really dont know---it was a time of life of magic and syncronicity and i'll never forget it and it shaped how i am today for better or worse
I know...I have the peter pan complex too. I can't even relate to most people my age. They're old fogie's already. :cheers2:
When I thought of this idea, my understanding of the reason acid is illegal was that it allowed people to experience a totaly different side of reality, and that scares our society. My understanding of acid was that it was the world as it is, but we don't experience the world as it truly is because our minds filter it to what we know as reality. My conclusion from this is that people are scared of opening their mind to the real world, and would rather stay trapped in the little box their mind has put them in. It made sense to me that it could work both ways
LSD is illegal because a few assholes who had never done LSD rammed legislation through congress and the news reports about LSD were all negative. It took a Constitutional Amendment for alcohol to be legalized after it was made illegal.
