      still need someone to explain me why a chemical that can make people happy has to be illegal.

      if there are also very dangerous, I get it. but if the risk is taking a long nap and changing your mind. then why would the government care?

        The (US) government has a long history of outlawing useful, helpful or otherwise enjoyable things (MDMA, weed and psilocybin) while allowing more destructive things to proliferate (alcohol, opiates). Many governments worldwide still outlaw marijuana and some places will straight up execute people for it (singapore). Keeps the population in check and helped fuel conflict within the lower class to keep them from looking upward.

      It’s not difficult to say, allow nature to do its thing and allow cubensis to grow naturally, in a shoebox.

        Their brains are literally wired wrong. They will not learn empathy, but assume they are capable of more than they are.

          They’re evil; not biologically different. You too could be an evil rich fuck, but instead you’re just a stupid poor fuck.

            Some are biologically (that is, neurostructurally and neurochemically) different as a result of genetics. This is one of the key differences between psychopathy and sociopathy, as a matter of fact, in terms of the root cause of the condition.
