Ooh I really welcome your perspective! That sucks. Most of the therapists and doctors I know are really interested in their therapeutic use —wary, but open if rigorous studies show benefits. Hopefully there will be less stigma as their supervised use begins penetrating our culture.
- P_I_Staker 3y agoI'm not really saying that they're all against research, but I just find it interesting how few people seem to realize that the mental health community is insanely anti-drug. It's like a purity cult. Also, it seems to strangely follow cultural tendencies. So cigs are unhealthy but okay, you can drink a little, have your coffee and now some cannabis is okay, but no psychedelics, stimulants, etc... they really seem to be pulling bullshit out of their ass. I get the reason why drugs are viewed as such a problem, but I think it's crazy that people aren't considering mass discrimination and stigmatization by the medical community as a problem in mental health and drug addiction... it's wild. I haven't heard a single mention of this, and I follow this issue. So many people acting like doctors are part of the solution when they're one of the biggest parts of the problem. One of the most dangerous things you can do is talk your doctor if you have an issue with mental health or substance.
