There are even a couple that are really psychedelic, albeit shorter lasting. These kids definitely know what they’re doing.

Maybe they are university labs being used “after hours” to do extracurricular research.

With most labs, the only people who ever set foot in them are the researchers who work there, and they’re the only people who understand what everything is anyway. So assuming people in the lab were “on board”, no-one would ever find out.

And the financial incentives are obvious.

Tis sad that our country will risk killing its people on this crap instead of just leaving it to personal choice.

The actions of governments only serve to increase the equilibrium price, which ironically, attracts new suppliers to the market.
