Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I am not American and I only heard bad things about West. This hippy part was also discussed but as an example of how immoral West is.
The "west" isn't immoral. Anywhere in the world, you can find terrible people.
Taking LSD isn't immoral. In fact, I would go so far as to say it introduces morality.
Corruption happens everywhere. The "bad trips" people have with LSD are:
you realize how terrible the world is
you realize how terrible you have been
you realize that you have hidden personal traume
Now, an experience relative, MDMA, is awesome! Not talking about rolls, kiddos, nor was I just talking about acid.
MDMA is so damn wonderful that we are treating soldiers with it to recover from PTSD.
Seriously, I felt like I was seeing the world as a child again.
Of course, watch your doses. Serotonin shock is real and fatal, and at worst, will cause long term damage to the brain: a fate worse than death.
But too much of a good thing can be fatal.
I once said that you can overdose on anything, and the girl I was hanging out with said, "that's not true! You can't overdose on water!"
I sardonically replied, "They call that drowning."
Not LSD but that hookup culture and destruction of traditional family structure
You can overdose on water, and it is different than drowning.
Drink too much water too quickly and it can cause a potentially fatal electrolyte imbalance.

I know, it happened to a woman who was trying to win a Wii on a radio contest.
Note I said, I sardonically answered.
