Guy’s looking out the window like, “yep, not really depressed anymore but still, fuck the outside world”
Yeah, its gonna take a LOT more than anybdrug to “cure” my depression. Fuck society and all the idiots in it.
He’s looking out the window thinking woah, the grass is the waves of the ocean.
It’s hard to know in my life what role psilocybin had in my anxiety and depression. I never felt specific effects I could attribute to micro dosing, would only do it for a few weeks at a time, but within a few months I’d weened off my anti anxiety and anti depression medications, made big changes to my life, stopped drinking, moved cities, and haven’t been on the medication since. I’d been on and off anti depressants since I was 9.
I think I saw stuff like this and was picturing one big trip and sudden insights, when it was a really subtle shift over time.
Or it had no effect and the other changes in my life are what did it. Or it helped me make those changes when I as otherwise stuck.
Anyway. Glad we’re moving towards legalization and researching it more. Seems very promising.
And therefore it will never be allowed. Gotta keep people manic or depressed to control them
Trump signed an executive order intended to speed up access to medical research and treatment based on psychedelic drugs.
One of the few genuinely good bits of policy to come out of this administration. There’s no reason hallucinogens should still be classified as schedule 1 substances in 2026.
I commented about this a while back and got shouted down.
Theres a TON of promising compounds out there that dont get looked into by the drug companies because the process of developing a drug is so prohibitively expensive they are only interested in the patentable compounds that they can sell for mega dollars. It is POSSIBLE that a relaxation of some FDA rules might lead to some very interesting compounds finally getting some attention because they are finally cost effective to research.
Look at bodybuilders and peptides, you cant patent most peptides because they are organic compounds which means no serious drug company is doing research on them and because no serious drug company is willing to put the money in they dont have FDA approval, and because they dont have FDA approval theres no guarantee that what your buying is actually what the label says or the concentration its supposed to be meaning any results attributed to them is dubious.
and got shouted down.
Well, they’re stupid, because you’re absolutely right. This is some fantastic stuff happening. 2026 is way too late, frankly, but better late than never!
