Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Dont diss psychadelics
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
Oh it's all "touch grass" this or "logout" that, but when I go on a heroic spirit quest naked on my unmowed front lawn (IT'S FOR THE POLLINATORS JANET) after eating 20 caps I'm somehow being irresponsible?
So much for the tolerant left.
