A comment on The high-stakes race to engineer new psychedelic drugs. Parent comment
Remember how gay activists used to be the craziest fringe gay people you could find, back when there was a serious stigma around it?
Now most gay people I encounter or hear about ar just as boring and sensible as the straights.
This doesn't prove that the same will happen with psychedelics. But it tells you why treating the outspoken minority as representative is not right.
