The Effects of Hallucinogens

[Bumdark]

Jeez, will morans here stop accusing the maker of this video of being pumped full of bullshit and whatever? First of all, he was *11*. Its pretty hard to be all too informed at that age. And second, today, Balko is a premiere opponent of the War on Drugs (amongst other bullshit). Really, get some perspective.

fuck you

[lastmondaypast1]

The only reason why drugs are illegal is because they make most people not care about anything besides the next hit, even weed. and yea yea you can tell me that you are doing just fine and have all your education but i know lots of drug addicts and they all say that there doin just fine even though they are doing horrible in life.

[doostan13]

you can get addicted to anything man scratch tickets, alcohol, porn it doesnt matter its not drugs any addiction can cause problems get informed man and drugs are illegal? tylenols a drug dunkin donuts sells more drugs than anyone

[lastmondaypast1]

yea true. if drugs didnt ruin their life scratch tickets or cheese burgers would have. Just depends on the persons willpower.

[nameofmeAJ]

@lastmondaypast1 so sending them to jail for their addiction is a great way to help them out right?

[hampstershat123]

@lastmondaypast1 This is a false generalization. I'm not saying this doesn't happen, but from personal experience i can say this without a doubt.

[XxFLUxX]

LSD ftw

[vacantsam]

it upsets me that society basicaly forces children and adults to have these narrow minded simply put idiotic beliefs, it is ignorance at its upmost extreme and nobody even realises that they are quite literaly being force fed this bull-shit belief system

THINK FOR YOUSELFES

[Greenport2]

So having made this video, did you ever get the chance to try any hallucinogen?

It might make you wonder why you made this video in the first place :p

[etnessi]

Watch this long enough to see the checkerboard and the spiral closeups. For some reason i laughed so hard the tears came.

ACID IS AMAZING...I do it and I have a PHD

[piratequeen11]

Thanks for posting! You just answered a question I have been looking for for my homework!

[bigboyburnsy]

wow 1986, thats when i was born.

[demfings]

your so called hallucinations more simulate looking at card board boxes with crapy patterns drawn on them and shineing a flash light through sheets, which is exactly what you were doing lol. Advil is more harmful than shrooms, and and LSD use has never been shown to cuase so called numbness and alchohol is more dangerous than any hallucinogen and only pcp is more dangerous than tabacco

[undefinedego]

wow, they really pumped your brain full of propaganda.

[SanityThreshold]

LOL, really. People on LSD dont go on rampages. I would estimate that about 1 in 100,000 people you use LSD have a bad trip and hurt themselves.

Alcohol is about 1000 times more dangerous than marijuana or LSD. And yet its legal and the others are illegal.

[undefinedego]

obviously the nature of government is not to worry about the safety of its population, its more of a mindless institution growing like a cancer.

[SanityThreshold]

In the past, it were the individuals that used psychoactive drugs that were seen as holy, wise men. (i.e. Shamans, medicine men, etc.) Now our government labels these individuals criminials.

[matshmif]

that was so shiy i think ime now going to take lsd

[patem1]

The Colts suck!

[AlanESQ]

"This makes it exceptionally difficult for law enforcement officers to deal with people on the drug"

Sounds like an endorsement for law enforcement to use "no-knock" warrants and use deadly force when conducting drug raids...

[Rizzosmack]

screw this video and whoever made it. unless it was a joke, this is the most ridiculus and unfactual video ive ever seen.

[LSDude]

It's as if you were reading straight out of my 6th grade text book, which had the same bullshit propaganda.

[MagicPeaceLove]

The kid, Radley Balko, is now an editor at Reason magazine.

[fritzburgh]

That's awesome; thanks for sharing. Perhaps the ONDCP should use this video in their advertising campaigns - if kids expected hallucinations like that, they probably wouldn't bother! --A loyal Agitator reader
