Neutrality of the article

Under the section "Resistance and prohibition", underneath the quote it says: "They fail to mention that these "adverse reactions" are almost exclusively the result of a "psychedelic" dose", which seems as if the writer were offended by the conclusion which the government had come to. I suggest the paragraph be re-written in a more unbiased fashion, but if I'm wrong feel free to say why.

Bicycle Day

I removed the subsection titled "Bicycle day" as it was highly tangential. There is already an appropriate reference to "Bicycle Day" in the section titled "Discovery and history". TR166ER (talk) 15:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Roberts should be cited as he coined this phrase Turkeyphan^t 02:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

last paragraph claims ingestion was on the 16th - which conflicts with first paragraph which states original event was on 19th § — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:8A9:6700:4A1:EA70:CD8:C3DA (talk) 09:54, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"inventing a word"? Rhetorically, Is it patented, copyrighted?

More erudition. Perhaps "coined" 98.144.238.191 (talk) 13:56, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not "promoting" an idea. It is "promulgating".

Lack of erudition is appalling. 98.144.238.191 (talk) 14:13, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
