On some strains 3.5 grams is a serious therapeutic dose requiring a sitter. My last trip was about this much with another 1.5 set aside but I was blasted out of time and space and opted not to re-up. It all depends on the strain.

With the right set and setting you don’t need absolutely need therapy in order to get good results. Writing down some intentions/questions can be enough. Eye shades + music, such as the Johns Hopkins playlist is HIGHLY recommended.

To think of Twitter as one-size-fits-all is a mistake. People aren’t staying connected with just friends and family like Facebook. It’s scale allows niches to spontaneously coalesce and grow stronger over time.

"suicidal for most people". You are flat wrong. Read the research. I would point people to Michael Pollan's new book "How to Change Your Mind" if you're interested in this type of therapy.

Psychedelic medicines allow people to attempt to heal themselves. Individual-driven intervention is not utopian.

One note of caution here - I tend to overdue it on the chest work which shortens the pec minor and exacerbates upper back pain. I need to mix in a lot of pec stretches and rowing work to balance things out.
