Comment on We Will Call It Pala: A Story for the Psychedelic Movementparent

Comments

Psychedelic medicines allow people to attempt to heal themselves. Individual-driven intervention is not utopian.

It is suicidal for most people. They're not equipped to handle these things safely, and however safe and non-addictive these substances are they do have side effects. Sometimes, rarely, lasting and not necessarily pleasant.

You can oversell them like SSRI are as well, that would be bad and easy to do.

Study then first and use them, but be careful about the consequences.

"suicidal for most people". You are flat wrong. Read the research. I would point people to Michael Pollan's new book "How to Change Your Mind" if you're interested in this type of therapy.
