Part A: Initial Post

Hallucinogens and Psychedelics have been used for centuries. Many cultures have believed that these substances take them to a spiritual place where they are able to see beyond the earth. However, this appears not to be the case in American culture where the use of hallucinogens and psychedelics have no clinical benefit but are used to enhance the party effect. For this discussion, you will use the text, and at least two other sources, to take two opposing positions.

One; you are a “salesperson” of hallucinogens and psychedelics at a party. Convince me why should buy these substances and use them, (investigate how much these substances cost), at the party. Two; you are my best friend who is knowledgeable of the cons of using these substances. Convince me not to buy or use them. Read these out loud to someone in your family and ask them which “convincing” sounds more appealing.

Part B: Responses to Peers

Add an additional perspective to what each student has presented for them to consider.

Part C: Expand and Integrate the Discussion
Refute what the other students presented, challenge the idea or assumption and modify it, or accept the other students’ responses to your answers. Explain and justify why you did refute, challenge and modify, or accept their ideas. How did what they say help you clarify or expand on your original answers?

Your grade will be determined according to the Discussion Rubric embedded in this discussion assignment.
