Don't give me hope RFK. Like you're really gonna legalize psychedelics for therapy.

Can't wait for the war on sunshine to end!

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

Oh good they listed them all in one place so if a doctor references it I know to just get up and walk the fuck out.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 2 hours ago

Time to dust off the ol' snake oil dancing shoes!!

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 30 points 6 hours ago

Dumbfucks wanted this.

Oh no it's the Sun everybody run inside -the FDA probably

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

By that he means sunning his arsehole, of course. Great excuse for exposing yourself to minors.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago

And a healthy swig of bleach for good measure. Cheers!

True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed "Here is a prescription for some meds" while handing me the prescription.

It wasn't a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote "Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything."

Big Pharma is everywhere! /s

Dude needs to take his Sméagol-sounding ass back to Middle Earth and leave science to those who hat the least have a rudimentary knowledge of it.

[…] psychedelics […]

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

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It's a win-win!

but on the plus side, maybe the us can start getting some decent cheeses...

[–] dolle@feddit.dk 15 points 6 hours ago

Yes, but it shouldn't be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 25 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That's why it's included and it's the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 15 points 7 hours ago

The carrot got dangled in front of the US population for decades and now it's going to be handed out by the guy holding a knife in his other hand.

[…] 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.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

horse

I see what you did there

[–] Liz@midwest.social 20 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

I'm literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There's no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.

He rants about the FDA suppressing things big pharma can't patent... Did they not develop and patent these?

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 9 points 7 hours ago

It's a call to action for people still pissy about having to wear masks

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 20 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Feels like beating a dead horse.

At least that horse won’t have parasites with all the ivermectin RFK Jr. is going to feed it.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

why would he waste perfectly good ivermectin on a horse he's just planning to run over, beat, and then dump in central park anyways?

[…] 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.

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

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 41 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 9 points 7 hours ago

Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn't make him eat it. But the thing is, he's not gonna say no, because of the implication.
