I am not understanding this. The abstract us testing the anecdotal belief that consuming cbd BEFORE thc (thus filling availabke receptors with cbd in the dominant position) reduces amnesia, panic, anxiety. Then testing the 2 substances commingled together, which of course will fail. The test dies not measure the veracity of the original anecdote.

I mean I would like to think that people that are suicidal every day, hence they have major depressive disorder, I would like to think that you know eating a mushroom would give them one day without those feelings. But it's more likely that it just opens a window, it may not even be an entire day, without depression.

I think everybody's being pressured into accepting a scenario that's not real. I tried the psilocybin and was surprised at how sick I got, and it wasn't sickness before I was tripping but it was sickness during the trip. The sickness was coming on slow and the tripping was coming on fast and it was very unpleasant. And when I reported back to the group, everybody said yeah that's how it is. these symptoms are under reported, by the people that are extremely zealous and getting grant money.

I had an interesting conversation with someone who was sexually molested by their father at the age of seven, basically they have suicidal ideation every day, and they are on prescription medication, the the best most effective whatever works. Yeah it's a big problem in this study. It's what I call jumping to conclusions

oh really? I am active in the sub Reddit for psilocybin, and these side effects are very common. And it's also very common for people that are already diagnosed with major problem depression to experience suicidal ideation, because in order to get the diagnosis that's one of the necessary symptoms. So that aspect of it is a bit disingenuous but the headaches nausea etc. is the common reaction to a healthy dose

The hundreds of trillions of dollars that Wall Street is pouring into the Internet still hasn't found anywhere useful to go. When these companies start to act as though they had customers, then things will change. But right now all they do is shit on top of you. And that's because they have a monopoly. there are very obvious solutions, and alternatives, but for some godforsaken reason people always prefer the dominant paradigm rather than the alternative that actually fits their needs. Once again, sooner or later economic reality has to come in to play and you will see those things disappear also. Right now the whole world is looking to make a quick buck without having to do any work, and it will fail. and by the way I just left Twitter.
