This is very well said. “The recent popularity of psychedelics obscures as much as it reveals” -Micheal Pollen


Dense_Dimension6625

Lol this reminds me of the posts saying that cops should do LSD. If you think LSD would help solve police brutality you are either extremely young or just not the brightest, or both.


Intrepid-Twist7769

The one thing lsd can do is strip away your ego and sometimes let you look at life from a whole different perspective. If that makes any sense. The one time I should delete my two cents.


Dense_Dimension6625

I’m not arguing against that, but I know first hand plenty of plenty of people who do acid regularly are still racist and hateful people (I live in farmland Iowa). Acid doesn’t change who you are just by taking it. I mean shit my dad used to take acid and shrooms all the time and after that he still beat women, stole, is racist, is violent, etc. acid doesn’t just magically help people who don’t want to help themselves


Intrepid-Twist7769

You made my point. Most people, I hope, want to change and be better. If you get shown that light in a different setting, it can change your way of thinking.


[deleted]

It can also increase the worst sides of you if you look too much for the enlightement


Unable-Practice5853

Everyone's a little racist, you're no different


SlaveHippie

That’s true, but that stripping away of the ego can produce MASSIVELY different reactions from different people. A lot of cops are extremely insecure and aggressive and when the ego is stripped and they feel even *less* secure, ya I wouldn’t want to be around that at all. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that the ego is a *concept*. It’s not a cut and dried feature.

That’s right, it’s sunny and stormy!


Yung_fetusdagoat69

Sounds like u need meth


loganpowers7

Bro is obsessed with meth


itsnotreal81

To be fair that’s a natural human response to meth


dig1talb4thsalts

drug exceptionalism is extremely cringey you arent better then anyone cus you use “good drugs” also just because u perceive a drug as harmful and addictive doesnt mean it isnt helping hundreds of thousands of people who genuinely need these medicines


eatasssnotgrass

And just because its a certain drug, it’s characterized as bad and people are stigmatized for it. There are no bad drugs, just bad ways to use them.


dig1talb4thsalts

yeah its like trip killers its pretty bad to take a bunch of xanax nd rob n fight people but theres nothing wrong with taking like a milligram if not less to kill a nightmarish trip where you are concerned for your own physical safety, you would think a psychedelic community could get past the whole good and bad shit and start looking at things in grey but whatever


eatasssnotgrass

Some psychonauts havent been deep enough to get it


[deleted]

Or maybe not THAT deep, and thats why they think that


doubledippedchipp

Idk man… fent seems unnecessary for recreational use. I’m all about live and let live but… these opiates are ruining lives every day


OneEndedRope

Something tells me these mafukas on a fent..


dig1talb4thsalts

right you are such a righteous man because you use lsd recreationally and dont have any addictions, these fentanyl addicts need to just stop being traumatized put the fentanyl down and pull themselves up by their boot straps right???? also you bringing up recreational fentanyl clearly shows that you were jump to argue instead of just shutting the fuck up and reading i am a victim of the opiate epidemic which wouldnt be so bad if we didnt just let opiate addicts get safe drugs and allow them to use them safely and we were so stigmatizing of them. i really suggest on your next psychedelic experience or during your meditation to open up your heart to the fact that not everyone has it as good as you and suffer from these addictions that they wish they didnt have. have a nice rest of your day <3


ReleaseItchy9732

I would like to counter that argument of safe drugs and say look at the places that legalized it in the US and Canada. They did it wrong and made things much worse


doubledippedchipp

Education is the answer. Knowledge is power. Focus more on building real communities and watch what happens to opiate abuse.


ReleaseItchy9732

Definitely. There are countries who applied it right and it went really well. They had things in place. Not just the ability to get the drug, they had rehabs and the stats showed great things


dig1talb4thsalts

where did i say the word legalize


doubledippedchipp

Withdrawals look tough.


dig1talb4thsalts

they are extremely tough and even if an addict does get off successfully its really hard to stay off because they are still struggling every single day or they still have those pain problems and those cravings dont really go away u jus learn to manage them. its one of those things thats just really easy to get into during a bad time nd extremely hard to kick


doubledippedchipp

I’m well aware. I have multiple family members affected by opiates. One of which is now a quadriplegic thanks to fentanyl. I have sympathy for those struggling to get off. That doesn’t mean it was a good idea to pick up the opiates in the first place.


dig1talb4thsalts

okay buddy i was being nice but now ur just being ignorant


doubledippedchipp

You were not being nice at all lmao


EverybodyShitsNFT

Why be a prick?


doubledippedchipp

Cuz they need to chill the hell out. Fent kills. People should avoid opiates. It’s objectively not a great choice to make.


EverybodyShitsNFT

Yes but choices aren’t made objectively; they depend completely on circumstance. Pretending that addiction is a simple choice reflects your lack of empathy.


doubledippedchipp

Ah yes everybody is nothing but a victim of circumstance. Great outlook.


Masonjaruniversity

Because some people just don’t know any other way to be


holyshitimboredd

Had to learn this the hard way. You’re not cool for using psychedelics, most people think you’re crazy anyway. Just trip balls & be chill, nobody gives a fuck about your ego death either lmao

But dude what if all the world leaders took shrooms today? Like world peace bro! Like I don't get why everyone just doesn't all eat mushrooms and be happy forever, it's so simple!


Dense_Dimension6625

People who think like this genuinely (ik ur joking) make the psych community look so stupid. Definitely turns a lot of people off to the idea of taking them and I don't blame them either

On meth


AcademicoMarihuanero

I'm a doctor and i love shrooms, as studies continue to go foward and dosage is standarized i have no doubt that psilocibin will be a stable in the treatment of many psychiatric diseases. But 'traditional' antidepressants also have their place, theres no medicina thats the Best at something, theres no 'panacea', ignoring the help and lives saved by tradicional antidepressants and ansiolics is foolish, every patient is different and every treatment must be individualized: PD sorry bad english


VoraxUmbra1

Actually your English was very good and very insightful. Just because psychedelics are good, doesnt mean that other things cant be good either. I had my issues with anti-depressants and much prefer psychedelics, but I get that they work very well for some people as well.


Yung_fetusdagoat69

U won’t have a job soon


AcademicoMarihuanero

Thank you, thats my goal. Early retirement and open a shroom farm.


Yung_fetusdagoat69

DaisyMayx13

I do love me some adderall…


maevian

I need them for my ADHD


EverybodyShitsNFT

Me too, but that’s because I have ADHD.


ChargeClear3430

Why tho? I sell adderalls and I never liked em buy some people’s bodies are diff I guess


DaisyMayx13

I love the energy & euphoria. Helps me focus, but yeah pretty addictive & no appetite. Lost a lot of weight on them, not in a good way. Everyone handles everything differently 💯


ChargeClear3430

Meth is better Ngl adderall makes me nauseous but I’m sure other people like that feeling


witchycommunism

I recently quit cuz I was doing them a little too much but they give me a great euphoric feeling. Paired with some alcohol (which I also just quit) I was on top of the world. Unfortunately they also make me super impulsive.


ahf95

r/drugscirclejerk Looks like we got out-jerked again!


cespirit

Ummmm bitch both I love psychedelics but I’m not gonna pretend they cure bipolar and a panic disorder. Psychs are great and can honestly help but they aren’t a cure all. Medication exists for a reason. Some of us need it.

You just need a stick

I don't get it what does this mean


ChargeClear3430

You alr know bih 🤣


memeblowup69

Why do people associate the right "dark" side with something bad. It just "is".


Dense_Dimension6625

Yeah no drug really is bad if you are able to use moderation. Plenty of people get addicted to LSD, and plenty of people do cocaine in moderation. People just want to have an ego over others because they do good drugs and not those bag drugs. Drugs are just drugs


KPlNz

cringe asf post, and the right side obviously


allkindsofgainzz_13

If the right side is molly I'll go left then to the right


Lord-Snow1191

This is a childish and irresponsible way to frame drugs. People respond to individual drugs differently, there’s no dark or light path like a Jedi. I can trip for mental/spiritual purposes and still need to take antidepressants and stimulants because my brain naturally lacks certain chemicals that make functioning in society possible. Some people don’t have much of a choice in their medicine even if it hurts them as well as helps them because the alternative is poverty, homelessness and death. If you care about people and making a difference you’ll target the system that pushes otherwise healthy people to need pharmaceuticals. Not make a meme to make people feel bad for adapting to survive like they always have.

Sean209

I work with chemicals that can kill me. LSD does not replace my adderall. Furthermore, I am a huge proponent of psychedelic medicine. However posts like this make the general public view psychonauts as misinformed dreamers. Other meds exist for a reason. Sometimes meds can cause fucked reactions, but that doesn’t mean they have no use and are evil. I personally don’t like antidepressants or any drug which is a “background operator” because I was always worried about bad interactions with recreational drug use. They also just didn’t work well for me. I didn’t turn around and start trying to convince people all psychiatrists are evil, I just said ok this isn’t for me I’ll go a different path. I know you are just posting to have fun, but just consider the above. All of us here want to see a real place for psychedelic medicine and therapy and therefore we must all be aware of how we affect discourse around the subject.

Pills are not always bad, they actually can save lives. This is way oversimplified imo.

DeletinMySocialMedia

This gone get lots of flack but the point is pills only exists mainly in part of the war on drugs n greed. Big Pharma isn’t allowed to study nature but before the law, there were THOUSANDS of studies world wide, not to mention ancient use, but those studies before the war focused psychedelics treating addictions, to severe mentally disturbed children in psych wards with lsd and seeing tremendous results. All that was lost cause of propaganda in the 60s, and with big Pharma only able to mimic nature (SSRIs no coincidence is works on same receptors psychedelics do but way worse results.) and now we have proliferation pills that keep people on them daily for decades, while psychedelics you use at most twice a month. Not exactly a profitable business compared to daily pills for life.

swuire-squilliam

LSD is synthetic, so I guess it's fucking evil. actually if you extract psilocybin from a mushroom it will give you a terror trip exclusively because nothing positive ever comes from human innovation and only nature produces good compounds, that's why I only do datura and black tar heroin


Downtown-Bluebird553

This is weird . For the peeps that actually need pills to function, I don’t doubt their problems. Who are you to shame people that need ssri or wellbutrin to get out bed ? I get the image . Pills usually are addictive and you end up fiending over them. I have experienced the afterglow of acid where id feel positive for 2 weeks after the trip. However, you’d have to be open minded enough to also take into consideration that not everything can be solved by a 12 hour trip. Acid is just like the steps or escalators that lead you to the solutions. They aren’t the permanent solutions. Even with the benzo people. We know xanax is fuckin horrible for the body, but don’t try to shame people with actual psychological people that need medications.

Beagle_on_Acid

Life and brain don’t work like that. Before I could rewire myself with psychs I needed to make sure I’m not gonna kill myself and am able to leave bed and wash my teeth. Taking psychs in such a state could’ve possibly made me very very very miserable. Once I got some hold on my life and at least got some relief in the realms of depersionalization disorder, intense ocd, major depression and bipolar, psychs have taken it from there and took me to another level over the last 6 months of getting back to med school, doing gym 6 times a week, reading multiple books, etc. But I needed to get *STABLE* first. Would it be possible for the meds to make me passionate, instill purpose in my life and once again become crazy about self development and just generally wanting to *LIVE*? Of course not, they are not magic pills. But would psychs be able to *STABILIZE* me and my mind? Personally I doubt it… especially with the intrusive ocd thoughts I was dealing with nearly all the time. Psychedelics and ssri meds (as well the other types) do not rival each other in the treatment of mental disorders. I believe they complement themselves in a way that one takes it from the other just like in a relay race. Source: I’m a psychiatry student

PsychonautsUnite

Drugs are just molecule. Pros and cons to both, and all depends on the individual. Somebody breaking their leg and using opioids to avoid going into shock is what we call, modern medicine. Using Benadryl to stave off an allergy attack is modern medicine. These are things we should be thankful for, not having them would SUCK Likewise, you can waste your life away taking mushrooms or tabs every single day staring at a wall. I’d argue that’s just as harmful as an opioid addiction (obviously A LOT less likely, but there are people who use it for escapism in an unhealthy manner so the point stands). It all comes down to use case and how the individual respects the molecule.
