Look, I get people saying "use LSD for depression!" even if i dislike it thoroughly..their ideal goal is to deal with mental illness and chemistry in the brain using a different substance.
I cannot look at this and not say "slippery slope."
This is not biochemistry, this is not a medical condition, this is couples counseling. There isn't a condition you need to use drugs to get yourself back to the center to be able to act normally. This is more like thinking you need to drink alcohol to ask a girl out.
I literally wonder what is next. It keeps getting worse every time I see posts here.
- JacobSuperslav 6y agoyou could say the same about antidepressants. of course we need to deal with the underlying problems but why not use the tools if they help?
- tpm 6y agoEverything in our lifes is biochemistry. Apart from that, MDMA was used in couples therapy before it was banned, because it just makes sense when you try it. For many people, they can talk about stuff they otherwise can't, they can process it, which is why it's also used in PTSD / trauma therapy. It can cure PTSD where there is no other known cure (there are already studies for that) so why not try it for couples too?
- pombrand 6y agoI think you're missing the point, the thing is that LSD gives you a new perspective on yourself, not necessarily that it just boosts the happy molecules in your brain.
