how about decriminalizing instead?

legalization comes with all these regulations and restrictions

Regulations are a pretty important part of treatment.

Also pretty important so you know you're not getting PMA or bath salts.

that's what marquis and mecke reagents are for.

or quick analysis via hplc. which would be more readily available through decrim.

Not everyone has a degree in chemistry.

true story. neither do I.

you need not possess a degree to hold a certain level of understanding about a subject.

treatment can still happen in a decrim market.

you would have both legit treatment centers and grey markets operating alongside one another. look at california weed regulation history for reference

They had my support until that clinical setting part. I think that would just make me more traumatized. Why can't I just do it in my living room while watching brightly colored cartoons, dammit?

I mean, you can, you just lack the expertise of a trained professional psychologist. I know a guy who medicates himself in this way and he claims improvement.

Why would I pay someone who, statistically speaking, has a lower IQ than me to tell me what I already know and accept? Especially when I could spend that money making art or doing literally anything else?

Sometimes I just want to recapture that childlike enthusiasm in a way only drugs can offer.

There's more to intelligence than IQ. Everyone has different talents and skills.
