Seriously. Don’t make psychedelics a right wing thing just because of shit like this. The war on drugs is awful and if Republicans end it (they won’t) that’s great

For real, not too jazzed seeing this kind of sentiment here. Psilocybin has been the only thing that has helped my CPTSD in any meaningful way. Years and years of talk therapy have done nothing at best or has been actively harmful at worst. Psychedelics are no magic bullet by any means, but they’re incredibly powerful tools to heal trauma if used correctly. If we actually manage to get some level of legalization/decriminalization/medicalization/whatever on psychedelics from whatever cranks are filling out the various health departments in the federal government, then so be it.

I would imagine a big part of the ‘anti mushroom’ sentiment in the press is that they’re not currently controlled by bayer-bayer. They’re already in the same drug class as heroin in aus, and seeing celebrities go off about how ‘i could never love a man until i was high’ or whatever her point is, pretty frustrating

heroin helped my mental health too, both these things being unregulated blackmarket drugs is what makes them dangerous imo

I think psychedelecic therapy is tenatively legal here, but its guided with a tripsitter counsellor, which is probably better than eating mushrooms you find in a park and rolling around in the garden by yourself
