[…] psychedelics […]

I'm glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.

[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]

I'll be honest, I don't really understand this one. I'd guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don't really understand why it's still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren't we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.

[…] raw milk […]

I'd support raw milk being legal for consumers to purchase so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn't safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.

Thoughts and prayers, America.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 22 minutes ago

They're suppressing my ability to digest food?

[-] Wojwo@lemmy.ml 48 points 3 hours ago

Stem cells? Does he know what party he's hitched his wagon to?

[-] booly@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 hour ago

Oh, he knows. They took him on an airplane and made him eat food he had just called "poison" for a photo shoot.

He couldn't say no, because of the implication.

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 2 hours ago

Consistency? Not even once.

RFK Jr. about to legalize date rape drugs. Mark. My. Words.

I actually met this mother fucker in Mexico in 1999, giving a talk on habitat preservation at Lagoona San Ignacio to a bunch of C list celebrities who were there to support the Natural Resource Defense Council and it's efforts to stop Mitsubishi from building a salt extraction plant in the middle of a gray whale breeding sanctuary (super good cause).

I was there with a bunch of high school students who's rich white parents paid for them to go on an expensive ass field trip to watch whales fuck (and do eco protest activist tourism). Coincidentally, the NRDC was there too and they got really excited to invite a bunch of American highschool students to their media shindig.

RFK Jr. got SUPER drunk and gave a sloppy, rambling, barely coherent speech, thanking people for their generosity. The kids were like "WTF is up with this dude? We've never seen grownups act like this!"

We did get to hear some really cool marine biologists talk about gray whales. Then one of THEM (Roger Payne, I think) got really drunk too and told us "Whales are people damn it! But you can't publish that! You can't fucking publish that!"

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 10 minutes ago* (last edited 10 minutes ago)

The biggest mistake was that we didn't nuke the whales.

[-] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 20 points 3 hours ago

This is like, one mention of "nuclear wessels" away from being a deleted scene from Star Trek IV.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 19 points 4 hours ago

Roger Payne is right.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 80 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Wait so he is pro psychedelics?

Huh, it would be really weird if the US legalized acid.

If maga starts doing acid to own the libs maybe they would finally start questioning things.

I know I’m wrong, but one can hope can’t they?

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 2 points 55 minutes ago

I would love for this to be true, and I believe there are many benefits to psychedelics…but then I remember the Manson family existed

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 52 points 5 hours ago

Yeah this is actually really hopeful in a fucked up way. I really hope they legalize psychedelics. They are an extremely effective way to get people to stop voting republican. Worked for me. It woke something up in me that made me realize how selfish and self-serving that entire party is. I'm the only one in my family who no longer votes republican, and also the only one who has tried psychedelics. I think that says a lot.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 11 points 4 hours ago

Honestly, some of these pricks could really probably benefit from getting out of their head for a bit lol.

I could see a world where all politicians are required to do a guided LSD trip prior to taking office being better than this one.

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 hours ago

Careful... this is how you wind up with cabinet memeber Joe Rogan

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 3 hours ago

Make Peyote Great Again

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 8 points 4 hours ago

The thing with psychedelics is that you only see what you bring with you

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 10 points 3 hours ago

Nutraceutical sounds like the most quack shit

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 112 points 6 hours ago

Vaccines are the laziest, lowest effort medicine we have. There is no medical treatment that is more effective for so little actual work on the part of the patient. Which is exactly the kind of medicine we need to have the greatest impact on the population base.

[-] julietOscarEcho@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 hour ago

Even better than that. You take the medicine and it reduces everyone else's risk of getting sick, even the ones that refuse to take the medicine. It's the closest thing we have IRL to literal magic.

As an immunocompromised person, thank you to everyone who gets vaccinated against communicable disease, you make my world a little less heinous to navigate.

[-] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 1 points 28 minutes ago

Counterpoint: RFK doesn't want to admit he got his weird voice thing from hep C from his IV heroin habit, so it has to be vaccines. Checkmate, libtard.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago

People like RFK don't get it. Also, has anyone seen a fucking microchip in a syringe... ever?

[-] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 3 hours ago

You can't see them without a microscope, duhhh.

That's why they're called MICRO-chips.

Waiting for someone to solve the problem by telling him about the dangerous food additive dihydrogen monoxide.

[-] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 hours ago

Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% mortality rate for every person that has ever consumed it.

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 44 points 6 hours ago

Yeah it's the FDA keeping people from exercising.

What he's missing is that people who want raw milk are already finding ways to get it. And people who understand the safety issues won't buy it.

There might be some real self selection and culling of the right wing heard about to happen. Maybe this is for the greater good after all?

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

As someone who does performance enhancing substances and has a keen interest in Peptides and Sarms, I believe that some good could come from this.

Lets not pretend that the FDA hasnt created a walled garden with an insanely high barrier of entry for new drugs and compounds. Its prohibitively expensive to develop anything new and interesting. Especially in the space I mentioned where literally thousands of people are doing those drugs every day. But with precious fuckall in the way of actual literature on doses or quality sources.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 29 points 6 hours ago

127TB of data. That's almost exactly 20 LTO-6 tapes. Good for 30 years when you'll need to transfer them to something better.

It'll cost you less than $300 and it'll all fit into a shoebox.

Become an archivist. The future depends on it.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

It’ll cost you less than $300

Except for the multi-thousand-dollar drive.

[-] UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Lto6 drives are more in the sub 500 realm now. Still pricey but far more affordable. Of course more modern lto.... Yeah

Yes, make psychedelics legal!

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

As much as I want psychedelics to be legal, I think putting RFK in charge of anything important is far too high of a price to pay.

[-] CuriousRefugee@lemmy.ml 197 points 8 hours ago

Damn that FDA and their suppression of...*checks list...sunshine?

Was the solar eclipse an inside job?!?

Honestly, Stem Cells becoming more available is cool. I don't expect his christian overlords to allow it, but it's a cool thought.

I just hope none of his other snake oils end up in products for the general population. If it just killed off willing idiots then womp womp, they get what they voted for, but public health risks are rarely so discriminatory.

One the one hand, yes, I expect there to be internal pushback on this one. On the other hand, the HHS Secretary reports directly to the least Christian man in America.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago* (last edited 31 minutes ago)

But the supreme authority in this case is the senate. If the Trump Admin steps too out of line the senate can remove the secretaries, federal judges, and/or the president themself with 60 votes, which would be as easy as 45 DNC, 2 IND, and 13 GOP.

In fact, Trump was forced into signing steel tariffs / sanctions against Russia when he initially refused to sign S.722 in 2017.

Seems like a lot of the sources on that debacle have been lost to the pile of Russia and Trump ties, but I remember it very clearly.

Christians acting evil starts to make sense if you consider god was never on any of our sides.

"You know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine."
