I’m all for psychedelic therapy especially for those with a terminal illness and in a controlled environment with a sitter or an experienced psychonaut, but psychedelics are a double edged sword and need to be treated as such. So many going fully mentally ill after taking them.

- lysergia 4y agoBy mentally ill I mean it can cause extreme paranoia. Obviously not in all cases. It depends on set and setting. Imagine taking shrooms at a death metal concert and seeing demons for example. I’m all for the ritualistic set and setting, and eating well beforehand and maybe making a mixtape of good music to listen to whilst tripping. You don’t take these things going in blind.
