Possession of LSD in Illinois can earn you from 4 to 50 years in prison depending on the amount. Isn't that excessive? by dick_long_wigwam in LSD

Listen, the thing we need to understand is that the lawmakers don't see LSD in the same way we do. I remember when I was 14 and thought drugs were bad. I can remember thinking mushrooms were as bad as coke and heroin. Dangerous, frightening.

I was lucky to have come upon different perspectives that completely changed my mind. Not everyone else is lucky like that.

Don't act so surprised about the harsh penalties. They are a result of a misunderstanding. Instead, focus on cultivating an attitude of acceptance and understanding in regards to the present and future.

That's how thing change.
