I really try not to underestimate my enemy, but this mf really does just legislate and take action based on whoever the last person he spoke to was, huh?

[-] deforestgump@hexbear.net 62 points 1 week ago

Can I just go to the dentist annually?

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 week ago

On the one hand, this ☝️. On the other, it's been really stupid that psychedelics can't be used therapeutically. Or any drug for that matter.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Not to mention the war on drugs 1) straight up doesn't work 2) serves the profits of the prison industrial complex bigly 3) giga funds police. If you could get clean drugs at the pharmacy next to the supplements that's BiS

Yeah it's worth taking the wins when you can.

[-] Arahnya@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

you're permitted to do mushrooms about it once a year

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

They're going to ban fluoride and replace it with LSD so you hallucinate a trip to the dentist every time you brush your teeth

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

doing mushrooms about your teeth makes you realise that death, decay and rebirth are all natural, that nothing will last, least of all your enamel. it's the way of the universe. just like the tallest mountain will slowly but surely turn into dust, so will your teeth. toothache is no more "bad" than the sun passing behind a cloud. agony-shrooms

I’m with you tbh I couldn’t give less of a fuck about this

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago

Really is the podcasting presidency isn't it?

[-] thefunkycomitatus@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

I know the bill mentions it's using ibogaine as an example, not a limit, so the field is open to all psychedelics. But then again that wording is very particular and exists for plausible deniability. He's naming the one he wants to win, or the one he's being paid to push. Rick Perry and the CEO of Ambio Life Sciences (Jonathan Dickinson) are financially involved. This is more insidery bullshit and fixing markets to benefit Trump's court of nobles. Next is for totally organic redditors to rave about the stock next week and get a bunch of retail suckers to buy in and HODL for the next few years while insiders sell.

Rogan has spent the past few years developing an immunity to ibogaine powder.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Yes but he fell for the classic blunder - never start a land war in Asia!

Seems to be only specific to ibogaine, which is good but still quite restrictive to many other valuable therapy research potentials.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

(b) The FDA and Drug Enforcement Administration shall facilitate and establish a pathway for eligible patients to access psychedelic drugs, including ibogaine compounds, under the Right to Try Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-0a), including any necessary Schedule I handling authorizations for treating physicians and researchers, consistent with 21 U.S.C. 823, and any applicable waiver authority under the Controlled Substances Act.

The executive order linked below. It says "establish a pathway for eligible patients to access psychedelic drugs, including ibogaine compounds". It gives ibogaine as an example, not as a limit.

I think the catch is that they will limit the "eligible patients" to be mostly US Military Veterans.

American Vets are famous for their stringent lack of sharing of drugs with their non-veteran friends

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

i gotta be friends with an american veteran to get drugs? maybe i don't need the drugs that badly

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 6 days ago

If you're friends with a veteran then you do need drugs about it

[-] Vampire@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Cool and good.

Wish he'd waited one more day so the date on the Order was Bicycle Day.

Schmoe Rollover gets his belly rubbed by Pump and Dump Rump. Isn't that precious

[-] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Damn look how short he is. They should have put him next to Ka$h Pate£ to make him look a little taller.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
