It's almost as if these massive corporations don't give a fuck about anything except taking your money

Just wait until they figure out chiralism, how chemicals can look exactly the same but be completely different. One killing you, the other giving you health benefits.

Good boy

This is good. The US tends to have a monopoly on research because all the pharmaceutical companies make a killing here, and they won’t research these enough to get insurance to cover them, but psychotropic therapies have so much potential, I hope this helps a lot of people.

The problem is when people quit and they get all sorts of shitty withdrawal symptoms because it is a drug addiction no matter how people wanna phrase it

Germans might have a sense of humor after all.

Cocaine is still used in the medical industry, as are derivatives/analogs of methamphetamine such as Dexmethylphenidate or Lisdexamfetamine. Just because something is in the name of of it chemically speaking doesn't mean it has the same properties, or similar effects, or is in anyway included as an 'add-on'.

You are confusing 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (C₁₁H₁₅NO₂) with Methamphetamine (C10H15N). Chemically speaking they are comparative but completely different. An orange and an apple are both fruits but they are most definitely NOT the same thing when it comes to dietary impact, fiber, Vitamin C levels, etc.

Your also taking a negative ideology on drug use based on previous experience or teachings and applying it to something you were told was bad and should stay away from. I was told I was perfectly fine just the way I was, turns out that was wrong and parents/teachers didnt want to apply a label to student or child out of fear. As an adult 10 years later I am now prescribed medication similar to MDMA to help my condition, within 4 years Ive tripled my base by while graduating college creating and entirely new life for myself, finding love, getting married, all of this because I'm no longer a shut in with alot of potential but the lack of focus to apply it.

Remove stigmatism, apply science, reduce harm, help others.

Those damn "interns" are at it again

Could you imagine sitting in your mud filled trench, undergeared in a frozen artillery shelled farm land, watching your buddy Ivan bleed out because your soviet era tourniquet snapped in half, and just when you think it couldn't get worse you look over the ridge and see 88 leopards running down your position. You hoist your rusted AK to start mowing these cats down and the gun jams just as they get to your position. You look back to Ivan who's barely conscious as you go to say your goodbye, just to have a leopar rip your neck open as you begin to speak.

Terror

No, not if you use it correctly in terms of dose and frequency

I doubt you'll be able to get it. GPs are pretty useless when it comes to meds. None of them want to prescribe anything, they always go for a holistic approach.

You know technology has evolved when you can get MDMA through the receiver.

I volunteer to be that sub

Packing your own lunch is expensive. School lunch when I was growing up was ~$1.50. It wasn't good, but a lot of kids / families relied on those inexpensive meals. It was also one of the reasons my family went to church youth nights on Wednesdays, the meals were like $2 a person and didn't require the time to make them.

There's too many other options now. I'm sure they'll incorporate it eventually, but whatever.

Yeah until the tobacco industry has enough of a hold on the market to profit then there will be a quick switch.

This is literally like when OnlyFans and Tumblr had the audacity to say they didnt want their sites to be used for porn. And then when they realized they were about to lose 80% of their revenue they dropped a "uuh oopsy doopsy we made a fucky wucky. Please dont stop paying us."

Magic mushrooms are legal to grow in Colorado! We voted for it in the November election and doing my first harvest later today 😀 I only microdose (and truthfully don't enjoy using recreationally) and it's pretty fucking cool to be able to legally grow my own medication and that is exactly what it is- a life saving medication for so many people that might not even look sick on the outside.

The “error” was coming up with that stupidity in the first place.

You are absolutely correct. I pay for 4 screens to be used and I literally cancelled the minute this dropped because that is insane to pay for it over and over and to have this kind of hassle. Also edit to add the article says they are not rolling it out YET. They definitely intend to so I won’t be re-subscribing.

Uh huh... 😑

Are you asking or telling?

I think it's different for different kids. I was really picky, my step kids eat everything and my 9yo eats almost nothing but pasta and rice... and of course, nuggets.

If you're curious on how it can be therapeutic, I recommend checking out the work done by MAPS https://maps.org/our-research/

Quick summary. MDMA originally got popular for use by psychiatrists in the earlier 1900s because of its therapeutic potential. In the therapeutic doses you administer in clinical settings like this Aussie law probably allows, it makes your brain more "plastic" and able to retrain the mind's associations to help recover from traumas like PTSD. Specifically, treatments like these are only shown to be truly helpful when "trip-sitted" by a professional, and sometimes show remarkable, and lasting results after only a few sessions. MDMA does not inherently make you start dancing, but it can allow you to unearth repressed emotions and be able to process them.

Here is the conclusion from the abstract of a Nature paper from 2021:

>MDMA did not induce adverse events of abuse potential, suicidality or QT prolongation. These data indicate that, compared with manualized therapy with inactive placebo, MDMA-assisted therapy is highly efficacious in individuals with severe PTSD, and treatment is safe and well-tolerated, even in those with comorbidities. We conclude that MDMA-assisted therapy represents a potential breakthrough treatment that merits expedited clinical evaluation.
