I predict he will be unseated within a year

Don't give me hope RFK. Like you're really gonna legalize psychedelics for therapy.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It would suck for the rubes who can be fooled into taking poison, but it would be kinda based if RFK just legalized everything. Reality might turn to shit, but at least we can get high however we want!

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

I wonder how hard it will be to tell the good stuff from the poison. Depending on just how unregulated they go, labels might not even match contents.

Can't wait for the war on sunshine to end!

[–] burrito@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

The solar panels are sucking all the energy from the sun and not allowing anyone else to use it.

[–] codemankey@programming.dev 4 points 4 hours ago

Big Sun will get its day in the … eh sun.

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 hours ago

He's going to ban sunscreen isn't he

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 11 points 11 hours ago

Time to dust off the ol' snake oil dancing shoes!!

[–] banana_lama@lemm.ee 31 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Oh no it's the Sun everybody run inside -the FDA probably

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 hours ago

As if! That would violate the proscription on exercise!

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

By that he means sunning his arsehole, of course. Great excuse for exposing yourself to minors.

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 34 points 15 hours ago

Dumbfucks wanted this.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 53 points 17 hours ago

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

And a healthy swig of bleach for good measure. Cheers!

[…] psychedelics […]

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

[–] Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It's a win-win!

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

but on the plus side, maybe the us can start getting some decent cheeses...

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 30 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 16 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] dolle@feddit.dk 16 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 26 points 16 hours ago

Dude needs to take his Sméagol-sounding ass back to Middle Earth and leave science to those who hat the least have a rudimentary knowledge of it.

[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]

I'll be honest, I don't really understand this one. I'd guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don't really understand why it's still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren't we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago

horse

I see what you did there

[–] Liz@midwest.social 25 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

I'm literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There's no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.

[…] raw milk […]

I'd support raw milk being legal for consumers to purchase so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn't safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.

Stem cells? Does he know what party he's hitched his wagon to?

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 54 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.
