psychedelics

Asking if psychedelics are safe is a bit like asking if exercise is safe.

You can have a bad trip, or you can break your arm at the gym, but in both cases, the potential benefits are worth the risk.

I still learn a lot from my 'bad trips' and see them as a net positive

The fact that they are still on Schedule 1 is an error.

And it is also immoral.

Won't have any effect and it may be unsafe.

The common wisdom is to quit SSRIs for at least two weeks, ideally one full month, before a psychedelic trip.

Could I get some feedback on taking mushrooms while on antidepressants? There's a lot of contradictory information on the Internet...thanks 😊

I had bad trip and would do it again.
Bad trips opens new perspectives.

Quality analogy Paul! Hope your day is going well!

how are psychedelics worth the risk smh.

no one breaks their arm in a gym bad comparison

I actually do not agree with this take. This is naive.
A lot of people can have very bad trips on Psychedelics. Speaking from personal experience.

Good point. But you have a lot less control over these. I guess it depends on what your threshold for safety is.

And a lot more research is needed. It’s difficult to consider something with so much uncertainty as safe, no matter the risk/reward ratio.

I think the difference is that you can't do much to prevent a bad trip, while by taking the necessary precautions at the gym (warm up, proper technique, knowing when to stop, etc.) you cab be fairly certain you'll be safe.
