AND I AM FINE WITH THAT! PETITION: I ACTUALLY DO NOT WANT YOU TO DRAW MORE ATTENTION TO PSYCHEDELICS! Thank god you didn't follow through.. Psychedelics aren't for everyone, the hippie's prime mistake was their misguided idea you should roll out LSD to the broader population. DO NOT DO THAT. I want mainstream culture and even more so Big Pharma to stay away from psychs because it will end in either excess and/or exploitation for profit, and repression again after that. I hate to sound like a gatekeeping cunt, but that's my firm conviction, let psychedelics be around at the fringes, and those who really want to seek them out will find them.

Honestly, I'll glad you were picky about it. I've read a lot of interesting things about psychedelics and admit I'm curious, especially since I also have a tendency to stubborn depression. I can't take them myself though; I have epilepsy, so promoting oddball electrical activity in my head isn't what I'm after. But I'm really skeptical. Michael Pollan's book talked it up, but all of his more striking "success" stories were from well-off people who were facing a tough, one-time emotional challenge. The one time the shrooms were not effective was a poor-to-working-class person living in a trailer park struggling with money, total lack of support, and chronic depression. This is why the biggest red flag in your story for me was the word "luxury." The shroom trend always seems to help rich people with temporary problems the most. Even helping terminally ill people face death is a solution to a temporary problem that only needs to be faced once. If you have to face a chronically draining problem like constant depression, constant pain, a toxic family, chronic poor health, or poverty, these things don't seem very effective. I also don't buy the argument that some civilizations used them for religious purposes, so they must be wonderful and spiritual. I'm just not seeing how tripping balls by ingesting a mushroom, licking a toad, or drinking a bowl of warm snot is going to turn everyone into peaceful, huggy hippies. An AWFUL lot of the societies that have used these chemicals for spiritual purposes were -- and are -- some of the most vicious, murderous, bloodthirsty, warlike societies in history, and in every single one of them, to be a girl or woman was ghastly. And the one thing more American than wellness garbage is the delusion that ANY community dysfunction can be cured by a magic pill and moreover one that gives you an unshared, completely individual experience. Nope, and nope. Sorry, that was awfully long. I think you made the right choice.
@AlistairKarim10 күн бұрын
My overall advice (as someone who "tried" around 20 substances), is to forget about any psychoactive drugs as a solution to life problems. But, if you have some stuff lying around, or it's very accessible at the moment, it really is worth exploring it as a space of "perspectives", ... rather than "solutions". Some specific perspective will be a solution, like stimulant perspective is a "solution" to attention deficit disorder. And probably in a space of perspectives of psychedelics there is a solution to your specific depression, but i dought it would be achieved in one trip. And don't forget, that the only working psychoterapy is either to actively live and try things, or to find a better stable routine, which are ultimately the same thing. My two cents, as an anecdot, around depression and psychedelics specifically is about 2c-b, which was proposed back in a day as an aid in psychoterapy. Known to public as a mild, warm psychedelic, easy for a novice, ... as they said. Complete opposite for me due to muscle spasms as side effect (appears to be ultra rare). I was very fast tired by it, but continued to intentionally trip, not out of curiosity, but out of boredome, for about 36 hours straight to the point of complete mental exhaustion. On a next day, *everybody* around were talking outloud about my awesome mood, and easy-going productivity. Like, EVERYBODY. And i don't recognise what they were talking about. At all. Cause, my legs were in pain, and i was barely holding up mentally. I didnt have any mood uplift, but something deep within me nevertheless had actually changed. My behaviour actually became easier and smoother in every detail. I do not recomend 2cb though. I've got much easier time with 100-200u of acid, but it could be a personal thing due to me, quite possibly, lacking dopamine a lot (have undiagnosed severe attention deficit for life), so, *possibly*, I perseive dopamine overflow in an acid trip as calmness and confidence, while for others it's anxiety and overstimulation.

I think you're right to be skeptical about the range of people for whom psychedelics will help with serious mental health problems. I have mental health problems, and while I really love psychedelics, they haven't cured anything. But, if you do a high dose of a psychedelic with the appropriate set and setting, you'll see why they generally do make people "all peace and love", at least while they're basking in the afterglow of the trip (it fades quickly and it takes effort to integrate anything permanent into your behaviour). It's in the common character of the experience, the feeling of being connected to all other beings, etc. The hippies weren't making it up. I think a risk/benefit analysis comes out overwhelmingly favourable, but that's case and context dependent for sure.
