You and the parent are both "right." Psychedelics are notoriously unpredictable YMMV things, which is part of why they haven't been mainstreamed as a treatment for anything. For mainstream drugs we usually want something as predictable as possible.
- harshreality 7y agoMaybe for general medicine. In modern psychiatry, however, the standard approach is to throw psych drugs at the patient until one works. Some of those have horrible side effects, too. Since psychedelics would mostly be used for treating psych disorders, I hardly see a difference.
