I feel like if he gets his way I’ll be prescribed sunshine, exercise, raw milk, and whatever drug a pharmaceutical bribed him to sell, instead of the immunomodulators I really need.
He’s like a mix of your uncle who thinks your chronic illness would go away if you “go outside and get some sunshine, stop being so negative, and eat more xyz” and your aunt who believes “acupuncture and supplements will cure you and all other medicines are a conspiracy”.
He has one point I do agree though… Psychedelics should not be banned and get proper study for everything related to mental issues.
There’s a lot we don’t know and there are a lot of studies world wide who do agree that psychedelics in controlled environment can elevated some symptoms; fear of death for terminal ill persons, hard drugs addiction, anxiety, depression… among others.
But hey, just take your SSRI from big pharma which most of the time does worst than help ! (Personal experience).
I do an annual camping trip with a big hike to a fairly high point in the area. Most years the group and I will take a small dose of psychedelics. It almost feels like some sort of pilgramage. The fresh air, the wind through the trees, the accomplishment of the hike, the exercise, it is all great and the psychedelics just seem to bundle it all together.
That’s nice !!
Yeah that’s mostly my experience :) It’s somehow “freeing” your mental constructions and you’re just there in the present moment !
However don’t fall into the trap of doing it every time while hiking and being in the fresh air !
I agree, but neither should we be selling it in the supermarket.
Of course, there’s a huge range of options between those two.
