I used to think like that, then I met someone who's best friend committed suicide while under the influence of psilocybin mushrooms.
Psychedelics are powerful, and it is irresponsible to suggest, let alone guarantee, that they will benefit everyone.
- cakemuncher 6y agoI met someone who's best friend committed suicide while sober. Those stories of suicide on psychs usually turn out to be fabrications, exaggerations or miscalculated cause and effect.
- mStreamTeam 6y agoMost of the suicides I know of happened because of booze. And the drug is available for mass purchase at the store down the block...
- throw51319 6y agoI think one of the biggest fallacies is that alcohol "shows who the person really is". It definitely loosens you up, to a point. Maybe 3-8 drinks in it is definitely closer to "the true self". But in large amounts it definitely creates an over-emotional person. In it's own way it creates emotional reaction spirals that could cause suicide, or lashing out at people, irrational love or hatred of self, etc. Like i said, biggest fallacy.
- nicoburns 6y ago> Maybe 3-8 drinks in it is definitely closer to "the true self". 3-8? 8 drinks in and I'd be passed out on the floor.
- bigbubba 6y agoWell they did say 3-8. A petite short person won't be able to drink as much as a tall heavy person, all else being equal. Tbh one or two beers is all I drink these days, but six or seven is what it takes for me to be 'properly drunk' (which I don't enjoy.)
