FDA TO CONSIDER RESCHEDULING LSD TO LEGAL

IS LEGALIZING ALL DRUGS RIGHT?

By: Derek Varsalona

I am not an avid drug user.  I am not even in the camp of legalizing all drugs right now but I seem to be coming around to that position.  Legalizing all drugs would bring people out of the shadows and get people the right treatment that they need in the long run.  We could finally solve the drug epidemic as a medical condition addiction and have people come out of the shadows.  The FDA is considering doing that at least with LSD.

On Monday, March 11, 2024, the FDA recognized the medical benefits of LSD.  They acknowledged the fact that LSD can reduce anxiety in patients.   They also claimed that the drug shows promise for a medical need in the long run.  The concern is that manufacturing is hard but do not tell that to a hard-core drug dealer, I am sure they know the trick.

The FDA, finally admitted that LSD shows some medical breakthroughs for relieving anxiety.  I support this concept.  I am not a user but I feel that legalizing this drug would help relieve anxiety.  If the drugs and all drugs are legal in America it would help people come out of the shadows and let people get the treatment if they choose to.  You could also be forced by court order to seek drug treatment.  With drug addiction, the better approach is to get the people treatment instead of locking them up in jail.

I am actually surprised that the FDA would legalize LSD or even consider it, before legalizing marijuana.  But this is a great first step in the fight to legalize all drugs.  Legalizing all drugs would get people the help they need if they choose to go to drug treatment without society's hostility.  I am proud that the FDA is considering legalizing LSD and if all drugs are legal people can finally come out of the shadows and obtain the help they need.  As always comments accepted.
