Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Yes,Steve_porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

[@shadowmime-zeroatrop]

Seem a little shady

[@MortonT1958]

@@cl4998 He was a Confidential Informant (“CI”) for the DEA. If he was registered (“on the books”), he signed a form that acknowledges #1 he is not a DEA Special Agent or employee, #2 he is not employed by any U.S. government, state or local agency and #3 he has no law enforcement authority and is not authorized to carry a weapon. Just before the signature block there is a disclaimer, essentially a hold harmless agreement, in which the CI agrees that the government has no liability in the event of them getting hurt, killed or locked-up overseas. The agreements are tightly written and the CI has no protection if they operate outside their directives. Show up at another deal, get busted and you’re going to do time. DEA will void your agreement and drop you in a heartbeat.

What are you? A gold fish? Did you even watch the video? He's a tough guy because of the sheer amount of push ups he was able to do.

[@stringlarson1247]

Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE! I still struggle with both. Managed a very successful 38+ year software engineering career. One of the things with AD(H)D is often the ability to hyperfocus on things one is highly interested in doing. It's like a superpower right up to the point that one gets bored, and/or something more interesting comes along. People with both conditions (or either of them) often tend to be highly intelligent. In childhood, this can lead down some pretty intense paths in life.

[@juicebox853]

LIES: Eddie Murphy filmed his special, with the red suit, in Washington, D.C., in 1983. He said he saw this show in Florida, after he was busted in 1988. The weapon stories are pure fiction. You think the military does not keep track of rockets and mines? If 1 weapon is missing a base gets locked down. He claims he was held for months with no charges. In the United States, how long someone can be held in jail without being formally charged depends on several factors: In federal cases, the time limit is 48 hours. In some state cases, it can be up to 72 hours. He claims he was held 3 months. Pure fiction.

[@MortonT1958]

@@Arsniclon Most dopers looking at 20+ years are going to flip for all they’re worth. There are two types of private defense attorneys you can retain if you’re charged with drug trafficking. One is a high-dollar attorney that will file every possible motion and go through every government report and recording word by word looking for an opening to attack. The second type of private criminal defense attorney is a deal-maker who will get the defendant a cooperators agreement where you sell your soul for a “5K” sentence reduction. These guys are known for their good contacts with agents and prosecutors than for courtroom theatrics. If you go with a public defender you’re screwed. They don’t have the resources to beat these types of cases and you’ll be found guilty and get slammed (high end of sentencing guidelines). If they say you want to cooperate, you’ll see them at the first meeting with agents and prosecutors. The DEA will thank them and show them the door. The next time you see them will be sentencing. No written deal, no guarantees… even unofficial. You get what you pay for.

Always funny to listen to informants trying to explain how they're actually good people and "not like the other rats" 😆 Apparently it's perfectly fine to bring in tons of coke and weed and when you get busted and you should take accountability, just become an informant instead and go hunting for people doing minimal crimes compared to what you were doing and destroy their lives instead. To me it sounds like he was just always gaming the system, doing what's best for him and doesn't gaf about anyone else. But hey, he never snitched on his hometown buddies so he's a great guy right?
