This genuinely seems like a psychedelics hit piece. This joombah mentions taking psychedelics with zero preparation: alone, on a whim, without concern for dosage. For real? I have no sympathy for him. Nobody is this naive, and if he is perhaps it’s Mother Nature doing her magic.
- InSteady 3y agoShit take. Young people make mistakes. So do full grown adults. This person isn't asking for your sympathy in any case, merely raising awareness of risks that sometimes (often in some circles) get glossed over.
- raydiatian 3y agoYa but I mean the potential of psychedelics today is their use in controlled therapeutic settings, so it’s not a shit take. Every aspect I pointed out from this article runs directly counter to the goals of establishing psychedelic therapies: that those therapies be guided, prepared, and dosed by body weight. > merely raising awareness This is so dumb it hurts, have we not been living in a war on drugs since the 1960’s, whose awareness is being raised, “drugs are bad mmkay” And that pulls back around to my point. We’ve been living in an anti-drug context for so long, both the emerging markets and the mental health benefits are not served by anecdotal accounts of idiots not looking before they leap.
