Was there last night. Breibart has lifted two comments out of context and juxtaposed them in the headlines. Classic.

What they did not say in the headline was: Bobby stated he would approve medicinal psychedelics and would have to think about any other use. (Since the SSRIs have damaged so many ppl, I can’t see this being good for us as a society).

The headline also did not include that the ‘healing center’ idea is modeled after a successful program in Italy which has very large farms in which young ppl can go for tx for addiction.

Some hard work/playing in the dirt seems in order for a lot of our screen addicted, multi addicted friends, children, grandchildren.

It was refreshing to listen to a candidate who refused to be baited into ad hominem attacks, has a deep understanding of the capture of regulatory agencies and stated the details of such, can trace the history of our nation’s foreign policy actions and broken promises and expects of the citizenry--the capability to be able to follow complicated discourse involving sentences which contain more than one independent clause capturing a platitude.

Psychodelic drugs have been used universally for spiritual development and healing. The attack on them has served the purpose of keeping people anxious while worrying about arrests and trying to buy the drugs. It creates a secret underground economy which causes divisions in the population. But it has been used to justify ridiculous prison sentences. However, it mainly pretends that the problem is a racial one attacking the communities of color when in fact it is mainly white people who use these drugs just as was seen with cocaine vs crack. We see this division based mainly on race and to some degree on class with marijuana. Again a fake issue that was created by the government which actually supported the transport of illegal drugs. It was the CIA that was running heroine from the SE Asia during Viet Nam into the US. So I leaned back then how the government uses drugs to control people and that the alleged 'war on drugs' was just another phoney program that made money for select people at the expense of the public. RFK's platform is trying to undo this travesty and it needs to be explored in greater detail and supported.
