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?
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.
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.

The thing with psychedelics is that you only see what you bring with you
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.
People like RFK don't get it. Also, has anyone seen a fucking microchip in a syringe... ever?
I think it’s a large variation of a syringe needle that chips our pets, but aside from that monstrously large setup that isn’t even used on humans, no.
Closest thing I can think of is the capsule sized camera that can be swallowed to collect data as it travels through that long tube that connect mouth to anus. Even then, I’ve never seen that setup used on anyone.
Yeah, that's what I mean. You can feel the microchip under the skin with the real ones. But we're shown a clear liquid going in. Where are the 'chips?
You're looking for logic in the wrong place friend.
Nanotechnology exists. Not in vaccines, but it's still a thing.
They give modern tech too much credit. But I wonder what we could create if we wanted to.
Damn that FDA and their suppression of...*checks list...sunshine?
Was the solar eclipse an inside job?!?
I think it's like the FDA having just reasonable guidelines on how much UV you can safely be exposed to. RFKJR prolly thinks sun lotion prevents all the healthiness from the sun and crystallises your amygdala or something along those lines.
It's quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.
There was a finding a few years ago that while preventing skin cancer, sunscreen was also causing people in some places to get less vitamin d which was increasing instances of colon cancer. The solution isn't banning sunscreen, it's making sure people get some small amount of sun or supplements vitamin d.
Being from Oz I never really considered issues with vitamin d until I moved to the UK for a few years and discovered that limited vitamin d is a real problem in winter. Im not sure on the deficiency you need for colon cancer but a few weeks of little to no Sun really messes with your head and body.
It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people.
I mean, it halfway is:
"Sunscreen" -- stuff with a decently high SPF rating -- is a good thing that prevents cancer.
"Suntan lotion" -- usually glorified coconut oil with fuck-all SPF rating -- is a bad thing that harms people.
"Sunscreen lotion" -- a confused amalgamation of the previous terms -- is not a thing and only misleads people by conflating good things with harmful ones.
This is not truth everywhere. Where I grew up suntan lotion is sunscreen.
When was the last time your big FDA doctor told you to sun your butthole? Why would they hide that from you?
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?
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.
In all that crazy, there's, shockingly, two good points:
Psychedelics. There's at least anecdotal evidence they're good for treating certain traumas / PTSD. So, yeah, we should be looking into their medicinal applications. But is it the FDA or the DEA that's cockblocking those?
Stem cells. Abso-fucking-lutely yes. But wasn't it the "pro life" people holding that up?
Stem cells.
He’s not talking about the stem cells that can cure a select few diseases.
He’s talking about an alternative medicine thing which is basically sticking cells from your right arm into your left arm and calling it “stem cell therapy” then claiming it can cure hundreds of diseases.
There is zero evidence (or RCTs) showing his version of “stem cells” works.
The FDA bases approval on two highly successful phase 3 RCTs of a specific drug for a specific condition. You can read more about that process here
Neither psychedelics not RFK’s version of stem cell therapy has that yet.
Thanks for clarifying. I took the mention of stem cells in the wall of crazy tweet to be the more credible form of stem cell therapy. Considering I was fully aware of who was making the statement, the fault is mine.
I mean psychedelics really shouldn't be suppressed as much as they want, but with him gutting all actual medical science, they're not gonna be helping much.
They have tons of potential and power, but binging mushrooms for three days and dancing in circles isn't probably the only way we can utilise them. (I'm not saying it's a bad one, just not necessarily suited for everyone.)
And actually if psychedelics gets lumped into his shit it might just be a step back for research on psychedelics when eventually this craziness of his blows up in his face. Hopefully before he implements any of it. Or even gets into office.
My guy, Peptides and SARMS are also super interesting,think of it as the middleground between sports suplements and steroids, chemicals to fuck with your hormones in specific ways. Im taking 4 seperate ones at the moment and my biggest worry is "Am I getting whats on the label" and the biggest reason I dont know is that the FDA wont approve them for human consumption, even though thousands of people do.
I know I might be placing myself at risk of side effects, but I'm already doing it! I'm going to continue doing it, at least let me know my BPC157 is legit.
"You know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine."
Unexpected Tim Minchin!
They're suppressing my ability to digest food?
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.
It’ll cost you less than $300
Except for the multi-thousand-dollar drive.
Lto6 drives are more in the sub 500 realm now. Still pricey but far more affordable. Of course more modern lto.... Yeah
“Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway”
High latency though and particularly catastrophic if you get packet loss
Don't worry, everyone! While we will ignore science and make sure you don't have vaccines, you'll have shrooms, rock crystals, and essential oils when bird flu finally hits.
Or I eat a dead bat and become patient zero for Ebola. It's all good! - RFK Jr
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.

Evangelicals: I think you're getting ahead of yourself
I think we should take full advantage of this opportunity. Ok, here we go.
"Robert F Kennedy Jr Is a 👶🗡️BABY MURDERER👶🗡️!!! He thinks people should inject 💉themselves with stem cells which is just a Demoncrat code name for little bits of 💀unborn baby💀! 👏President Trump 👏 is appointing a pro-choice Demoncrat 👹 BABY MURDERER to head up the FDA !! Pass it on and tell PRESIDENT Trump to not appoint ☠️BABY MURDER RFK JR ☠️ to run the FDA."
How am I doing so far?
Edit: Facebookified it a bit.
Yes, make psychedelics legal!
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.
