Victims of the permanent psychedelic trip demand accommodation

 From the LA Times here:

“This disorder has stigma and shame attached to it. People often dismiss people with HPPD as druggies,” he said. “We deserve the same amount of caring and attention as people with any serious life-altering condition. … For that to happen, doctors need to know this is a thing."

I'd be more sympathetic if there were even one word in this story suggesting that drug liberalization laws have been a big mistake, but no. There isn't the slightest hint of remorse.

We've known since at least the 1960s that psychedelics can cause permanent harm, removing users from productive society and making them a burden on us all.

There is no excuse for this sorry state of affairs.
