in another thread I mentioned psilocybin mushrooms and how it helped depression in a lasting way I was downvoted to oblivion because it was "shaman and not based on science".
Good to see more and more science come out to explain the mechanics.
We are on the verge of drastic improvements in mental health across the board but I fear that a certain industry with commercial interests will naturally seek to do anything and everything to make sure their interests are unaffected.
- whalesalad 5y agoI’ve been surprised by the negative opinion of self medicating held by a vocal group here. I can honestly say this medicine saved my life. I put my hands in the care of “the system” for too long and it never got me anywhere. A few months of microdosing, occasional tripping, and meditation/breathwork has completely changed the trajectory of my life.
- tomatowurst 5y agohappy to hear that brother, I also note that this might be geographically related, I saw at one point (posting outside west coast 9~5pm) rise to 20 upvotes, and then downvoted (during work hours in west coast). consequently when I type some comment near the end of the work day, it gets downvoted initially but then drastically attracts upvote outside the said work hour.
