bonus reading: for Virgo week 8/31:

Editors at the prestigious UK medical journal Lancet have called for the legalization of LSD and other psychedelic drugs.

[I thought it would be most hilarious if it stopped there. But.]

They're not envisioning a thousand totally buzzed freaks dancing deliriously at an outdoor festival, however. [god forbid] Rather, they want to make it possible for researchers to carefully explore the therapeutic benefits of altering consciousness. "The blanket ban on psychedelic drugs continues to hinder safe and controlled investigation of their potential benefits," they said. Be inspired by their example, Virgo. What taboo is it high time for you to break in a discerning way? What inhibition no longer serves you, even though at one time it might have kept you safe and sane? What conventional wisdom based on fear has infected you, preventing you from experimenting with exciting possibilities?
