Spirits (was RE: [extropy-chat] Qualia Bet.)

[Samantha Atkins]

Spike, you have no right or reason to tell people they can't make  
positive comments about drugs you may not approve of.  LSD, despite  
the fact I haven't used it in a whole lot of years, got an  
undeservedly bad rap.  I will not be silent when I see more of the  
same here.  It is powerful medicine and in the right hands and  
setting truly useful.    It is not "too dangerous" per se.
