I don't see how you need some sort of health benefit as justification to enjoy psychedelics. Why not do it for its own sake?

- smitty1e 6y agoLong-term negative effects?
- tpetrina 6y agoYou mean more or less severe than long-term negative effects of sugar or alchocol? And there is greater stigma for non-drinkers than for drinkers in our societies so go figure...
- poppabox 6y agoMore severe than sugar. There is not a greater stigma for non-drinkers unless you're hanging out with alcoholics. People whose opinions you should care about don't care either way as long as you're a kind person.
- currymj 6y agoi am honestly slightly worried that in certain social circles, things will get to the point where not taking psychedelics carries a stigma. i am guessing this is already the case in certain subcultures but I think there is a chance it could reach the mainstream in blue coastal cities.
- doctorbuttes 6y agoI have friends that believe there is a moral obligation to take psychedelics to expand the mind and increase empathy. That’s a little extreme for me, though.
- smitty1e 6y agoNo, I don't. As a relatively boring person, mucking about with the body chemistry is not preferred. If the doctor says so, OK.
