alt texttweet by Johann Hari: The core of addiction is not wanting to be present in life, because pour life is too painful a place to be. This is why imposing more pain or punishment on a person with an addiction problem actually makes their addiction worse.

Nobody? You really want to speak in absolutes here? I wasn't just talking about cocaine. I also think cocaine is not a good drug to use, too expensive, too addictive, and not a very helpful experience, just a form of hedonism that in the end is not rewarding. But let's talk about shrooms. I started shrooms on a small dosis to discover my response, if I had a predisposition to psychosis I would have backed of then, but I discovered it was a very healing experience for me. So I became a regular user, I eat shrooms once a month. I lay in my bed, I reflect upon my life and my experiences. I work in a psychiatric hospital and have to deal with a lot of intense stuff, suicide, aggression, etc. The regular consumption of shrooms helps me deal with these things in a proper way. I reflect on what happened and process semi-traumatic experiences that come with the job. It also helps me empathize and reflect on why patients behave the way that they do. It's also just a lot of fun and increases my creativity. Now tell me, how am I hurting anyone?

Are shrooms a white powder? Pretty sure I clearly singled out white powders. I guess other parts of my comment might make it sound like an absolute blanket statement, but I shouldn't have to reiterate that condition in every sentence.

I never said we were talking about white powder and you've been saying I am in denial.
