As soon as it kicks in, I'm growing pounds of psilocybin to give away. At least five colonies in a constant rotation. :vot

This is where you need to actually read about what tryptamines do. Pharmacologically they're like SSRIs but that also cause neurogenesis. Why are people taking small amounts of SSRIs? To keep from shooting themselves because of psychiatric disorders. Psychedelics combine that MOA with the benefits of therapy. It doesn't put you in a fantasy land, the visuals are a distraction lasting a couple hours at most every month. If they're microdosing there are no visuals at all beyond being more perceptive of patterns and colours being a bit more vibrant. I don't microdose because I want to leave the matrix or ignore apocalypse, but because it makes hiking more engaging and art more interesting and social situations less anxious.
Suppressing them. They've spent time and money since Nixon suppressing them because he identified them with hippies and socialists. The MKULTRA research you're about to go into only showed that they aren't useful as mind control drugs and that they aren't effective torture devices. The top-down and conservative narratives toward this are solidly against it being used.
Quit being such a :grillman: and read How to Change Your Mind.
You do know this is feeding into my point right? That life is so miserable, that there is no real help for people. That they have resorted to micro dosing to get through the day.
Hippies didn't exist in the 40s and 50s when psycadelics where being heavily researched.
Could they have a positive. Yeah. But right now. They are used solely as a distraction from how horrible life is. So yes. They are a controlling agent for this capitalist system.
Of course hippies existed. Have you ever heard of bohemians? Hippie shit is just a mid-century rehashing of the same orientalism that crackers have been obsessed with for centuries. Mysticism was a 19th century craze well before hippies appropriated it.
People use any medicinal drug because some symptom makes life miserable and there's no other fix. You're ignoring the word neurogenesis there. It's a neurobiological foundation for that fix which takes them out of the conditioned acceptance of it. The context in which it's being given, a gifting culture in Colorado, is the external social component of that fix. In the psilocybin doses that are used therapeutically, it's not a daily happy drug. As a microdose, it's still not a daily happy drug- it's a once every four days drug.
You're wholly talking out of your ass.
I look forward to Colorado rising up in psycadelic enlightenment and throwing off the shackles of modern day.
My sibling in Christ, people have been using psychedlics since the neolithic
So it's nobler to just suffer? "Let's not take medicine because it's capitalism at the root of our sicknesses" is a take I see on here occasionally, and it's never the insight people think it is.
Also you could apply this to literally any other drug, most of which are worse than shrooms and very legal.
This is where the left, imo, gets kinda confusing.
We are against the system. But also for things that extended it's reign and makes it's misery even longer lasting.
I don't really know. Im going to go out side and plant some flowers and touch some grass.
Psychedelics make people question the system. Psychedelics make people more creative. Psychedelics have never extended its reign at all in any way whatsoever.
