In case it needs to be stated - please don't take illicit substances because a random poster on an internet forum tells you it's helped in x or y ways.

(For the record, I do believe this class of substances can help a lot of people. Do your own research, know your own body, and think for yourself before making a decision that can have possible adverse effects)

There's no such thing as "illicit" and "legal" substances on the internet - it depends on where each poster and reader is located.

Unless it's LSD. I enjoy LSD as much as anyone here, but it's globally illegal.

And it's pretty unlikely that anyone is posting on HN from the international space station, so it's safe to say that LSD is definitely illicit regardless of their location.

Technically true, but it’s decriminalized in a handful of countries and thus “tolerated”.

Wouldn’t matter, it’s illegal there (for US astronauts at least, can’t confirm for Russians, but I’d highly doubt it).

Which is a shame.

I think I used to think like this, but realized it doesn't particularly accomplish anything. Moving our collective walls takes concentrated, but subtle effort.

Can I interest you in some flax? https://www.principiadiscordia.com/bip/1.php
