They arent toxic though.

I think they helped me a lot, but they shouldn't be legal. They're sort of like a reset. You can reset good or reset bad.

Also, frequency isn't the issue, it's depth. I think low doses even biweekly for extended periods (months) are fine. It's when taking heavy doses of stimulating ones that you can run into issues.

I think the goal should be low dose so some of the ego remains. The reset still happens, but there is enough control to still observe and gain insight.

Still, I cannot stress this enough, that is behind me now but I have benefited greatly. There is a risk and they need to be considered seriously for what they are. They are not toys.

Funfact : SSRIs target the same exact serotonin receptor. They were developed with psychedelic research.

Joking aside, it sounds like you may know that the mental health profession sees unexplored value in psychadelics.

How many places are they legal?

Lack of legality has resulted in lack of research. I agree with you that the beneficial use is probably in low dose, under tight control. This is looked at as a possible use when nothing else works.

They don't have to be legal because chemistry is almost infinite. Drug law is almost identical to gun law in that regard. They just work around it already, so you can already get it if you are intelligent.

I don't think releasing it to the masses is a good idea. Look at what therapy has become. Now imagine what therapy would become if those same ignorant morons had the power to MK-ULTRA a bunch of Karens.

Legality matters quite a bit when it comes to research. MK Ultra is a LOT more than just giving people acid to see what happens.

Absolutely, however, chemistry is extremely complex.

I think the synthetic cannabinoids were invented at Perdue University to map the cannabinoid system in the brain. A lot of novel psychedelics were invented for the same reason.
