That's what I was trying to say. They want to do it differently than they did with pot. With pot you could easily get a doctor to write a prescription and you used THC and CBD as needed in the comfort of your own home. With hallucinogens it sure seems like they want you to take them under the supervision of a therapist, who will guide your experience in a therapeutic direction. A few reasons come to mind for why they might be doing this
- To reassure the legal authorities that the use of them is properly supervised and safe
- To bring them to a wider audience, such as a depressed grandma who needs to accept her approaching death but would never take them on her own
- For their own status, power and money needs. It worries me that once they achieve this, they will fight legalization for recreational use
That's all fine, but don't tell me I can't take them for my own pleasure and purpose when I want, such as at a music festival, on a hike in the woods, or just because. I really don't need a therapist to guide my trip, thank you very much.
Edit: Another thing, I've raised the issue on Twitter that doctors and therapists who used them in therapy settings should have some experience with hallucinogens. They shut me down really quick. It's the elephant in the room apparently. How are you going to guide someone when you have no experience with them?
