[…] psychedelics […]

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

A broken clock is right twice a day. A random number generator will also occasionally give you the right answer.

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...

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

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.

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.

I mean there's already quite some research with psychedelics showing positive results. Expecting RFK to act on facts and science is wishful thinking. We can just be thankful that his twisted mind aligns with science at least in this position.
