im okay with ending the war on psychedelics though.
not for everyone but also not worth hunting and jailing people for.
fuck off with all the pseudoscientific garbage.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Speaking of raw milk, bird flu has just been disovered in it. Buckle up, the next pandemic is coming. Maybe it will go down in history as the MAGA flu. Or Trumps.
Surpression of sunshine must end? Does that mean he wants to ban sun blockers?
The god damn FDA and its war on...
....checks notes...
Sunshine and Exercise!
"ivermectin"
aka, the horse paste Trump pushed on us during the covid outbreak.
Apparently now conservatism is just constantly relitigating every minor perceived slight.
For the most part, liberals have moved past the fact that these assholes held the country hostage and killed a million people throwing their tantrum.
Meanwhile, conservatives are like "we haven't forgotten that you made fun of us for the horse dewormer thing."
Yeah. They were pretty adamant lefties were easily triggered a few years ago
Now they believe lefties are destroying the environment, and are having a temper tantrum over a lie as stupid as people eating pets told by a guy who lies about everything
When the government is out to kill the citizens, they are no longer citizens but subjects.
Raw milk and no vaccines. Get ready for the great Bird Flu epidemic.
Start growing your own food, boil rain water for clean water, and avoid close contact with others for the next four years then? Can't wait to hear about all the cases of preventable diseases, contaminated foods, and new, deadly viruses we get introduced to once these clowns take over...
If they break that infrastructure the long term impact won’t be immediately evident, which means the impetus to fix it will match that of climate change.
And last way longer than 4 yrs. Took Biden 3 yrs to fix Trumps fucked up economy.
Finally we can find out how the FDA hid the sun
Actually, the brain worm never died, it is sentient, and this is part of the RFK worm’s long term goal to infect the nation via destruction of the FDA. The rest is there simply as distraction.

Hey, I play Plague Inc too!
fucking morons are going to kill us all with raw stupidity
I guess tripping through the end times is on the table? I'll take it, I guess.
Damn that FDA and their suppression of...*checks list...sunshine?
Was the solar eclipse an inside job?!?
Can't wait for the war on sunshine to end!
The solar panels are sucking all the energy from the sun and not allowing anyone else to use it.
Don't give me hope RFK. Like you're really gonna legalize psychedelics for therapy.
No, he won't. Or he might, ostensibly, but they will never be propery researched and they will never be properly regulated, so you won't really know what you're getting or how it should be administered, so good luck with that.
The only thing you can reliably count on with the incoming administration is that whatever they are doing, they are doing to make themselves and their friends wealthier, at the expense of the rest of the public. Unfortunately, that doesn't only mean finacial expense.
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.
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.
Stem cells? Does he know what party he's hitched his wagon to?
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.
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.
[…] psychedelics […]
I'm glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.
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
"Fuckin-A!"
vape
"not that!"
swipe
"awww, damnit."
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!"
Dumbfucks wanted this.
The worst part is that they really didn't, they just didn't know that they didn't. They won't realize for a while (until it affects them personally). Some never will.
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.
RFK Jr. about to legalize date rape drugs. Mark. My. Words.
