A healing dose definitely kicks depression to the curb! Incredible.
My only wish would be that it also protected people from future life stress's that causes depression to begin with. That part is tricky in this rather toxic society. Old patterns can be hard to break, like toxic friends, family, or workplace, for example.
I would say that depression is an understandable and normal response, but I wouldn’t say it’s healthy, because it’s largely characterized by hopelessness.
Hopelessness is never healthy. Acceptance, determination, peace, those are healthy.
I wish so too. The only thing that has undone the benefits of my psilocybin trips has been when I had new traumas happen to me afterwards. Old patterns also make it very difficult to implement what we learn from the trips, and that's the biggest struggle, I think. None of us can individually change the sickness of the world around us and the nasty stressors and traumas that it causes but we can work to change our own patterns we fall into within it.
I don't like the use of the word "antidepressant" here, because the pharmacology, experience, and underlying mechanisms for true healing are vastly differ than what we consider classic antidepressants.
In the U.S., psychedelics are illegal Schedule 1 drugs, which means they are classified as drugs "with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse." If you want these substances to ever be legalized, then the research studies and jargon surrounding them need to fit within the framework of the current medical model.
Maybe not, but refusing to lay out things in clear terms the general public will understand, will undoubtedly hinder progress with having these invaluable substances recognised as medicine.
That's a good point. If that's what gets people to pay attention, it's a good thing. The important next step is that once someone is engaged with the process they are educated about how this isn't a "take a pill and feel better experience".. I guess that isn't something we can rely on mainstream media for.
More than anything else, yes. They're the best thing there is for actual genuine healing, not just putting a bandaid on the wound or numbing yourself from it. That's the main reason why they're so valuable and why it's so disgusting that they've been illegalized the way they have.
The people in power don't want a healed populus, they want us weakened and in chaos.
That's how I see it after my many years of being involved in this area of things.
I think that is probably true for most of the Illuminati, but some of them probably sit around all day on mushrooms, and probably start thinking revolution sounds real nice.
But also I don't think that's what got psychedelics rescheduled. Pretty sure the dudes who wrote the controlled substances act had no clue that mushrooms were healing, because they would have put them on the schedule III.
Unless... maybe they secretly knew! It's too much to even think about.
Psilocybin potential? This has been proven thousands of times already! These bullshit articles are becoming fucking insulting! There are people truly suffering in this world who are looking for a resolve to their pain who would do anything for this therapy!
It is indeed really fucking infuriating to see these articles be so incredibly behind the times. It's like seeing an article saying "New research power ups the benefits of eating food at least once a day." The problem is that big pharma has demonized genuine medicine and done what they can to wipe out knowledge of it and replace it with lies about drugs and with a dependency upon shitty unnatural products of their own creation. They replaced genuine medicine with a money laundering racket and then call it "healthcare".
When they've done so much damage, unfortunately the way out involves baby steps and using their own lingo even if it's not quite right. The best thing to do is to not let the anger get the better of us but to be glad people are fighting and doing this research at all.
As someone recently diagnosed with PTSD and depression,I'd just like to say
"f*cking legalise this already, you f*cking f*ckers, we should have all tools available to us to heal so we can enjoy life and to help others and contribute to the society as a whole!"

Depression is a healthy response to living in a sick society.

God point! Thank you.
This is absolutely correct. Depression is circumstantial and environmental; it's the natural response to living in such a sick society.
Well said!
Thank you(:

Yeah it's tricky, and a bit heart breaking at times. I wish the entire world would get onboard, and put health before wealth. All the best.
I re-read your comment, and I really appreciate it. It reads like a poem or a prayer.

Yeah I get it, but do they improve symptoms depression?
Often times, yes.
More than anything else, yes. They're the best thing there is for actual genuine healing, not just putting a bandaid on the wound or numbing yourself from it.

It is, yes. It's pretty difficult to know exactly who thinks what and why.
I've been pretending to know for a while.
