   @mono @neikocat my main point is that not researching one of the most promising chemicals for therapy for 50 years for no real reason isn't the best way of helping people

     @lain @neikocat SSRIs could just be giving suicidal but lazy people the agency to stop being lazy and act on it. the only reason why alcohol doesn't do such drastic immediate side effects is because most races with a long history of alcohol usage have selected for people who don't go crazy after one sip (unless you're an aboriginal australian or native american).psychiatry is a medieval field and doctors barely know any better than their patients what's good for them.

     @mono @neikocat SSRIs cause suicidal thoughts and they are prescribed to people who are depressed. I'm really just talking about relative risks, not "lol bro just eat shrooms you'll be fine"

     @lain @neikocat psychedelics (and cannabis) are dangerous to a small percentage of people who haven't unlocked their latent schizophrenia yet.

     @lain @neikocat drugs that could potentially cause psychotic breaks in one out of a thousand (dunno what the real odds are but i've seen this happen personally to a couple people) should be restricted until we figure out which gene causes this nonsense. the last thing society needs is more schizos because each schizo is an enormous net drain on resources, and unlike addiction, it's completely incurable.

     @neikocat its crazy how psychedelics are seen as super dangerous while the current meds that people use for depression can literally make you kill yourself if they don't destroy your liver first.

     @lain psychedelics those are dangerous, here have a drug that when you stop taking it it feels like someone is zapping your brain with electricity every minute or so
