    I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking mushrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

      There's a really well referenced response to this concern here (below). Without detracting from the urgency of the opioid crisis that Scotland is in the grips of, deaths from overdose started increasing sharply from 2014, whilst Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) was only introduced in 2018. This is not a major driver for the opioid crisis, which needs a separate, urgent response. www.alcohol-focus-scotland.org.uk/resources/briefing-on-mup-and-drug-use-aug-22-.pdf

    The Weimar didn’t have LSD. Tripped wasn’t as interesting as I had thought it might be. ‘Tripping on Utopia’ by Ben Breen, was more interesting in my opinion. Ohlers books are worth reading., His interests mirror many of mine own likely because we’re the same age 49/50.

    This was an amazing talk. My partner had an ischemic stroke a couple of years before I met her about 8 years ago,she had her issues after the stroke,apashia,some speech issues ,memories lost etc,but after partaking in low level social psychedelic experimentation with myself, MDMA ,Pscilocibin, DMT, i too have had some amazing advances in my mind, different mindset etc...but she has come on leaps and bounds to the point where she has relatively no symptoms,even the aphasia has subsided so much,even the doctors were so surprised at this,whether this has been neurogenesis or something else, something profound has happened,and this happened over the space of a few months,more studies on this type of thing is definitely needed but there's definitely some amazing discoveries/medications to be found,keep up the great work 🙏

    'Smoking' is not as stated what kills people, it is smoking tobacco, smoking per se isn't dangerous, the drug which is smoked is. There is no evidence that smoking cannabis anywhere in the world previous to the US enforced war on drugs, caused deaths, and nor is there evidence that the common practice of smoking herbs is also as toxic as smoking tobacco. Chewing tobacco, with no combustion involved, causes mouth and throat cancer, snuff [sniffing powdered tobacco] casues nasal & lunmg cancers. IT'S THE NiCOTINE THAT IS A CARCINOGEN, not the method. The reason why so many die from smoking tobacco is that there are many more smoking than by any other means, and of course it is better for them if they switch to vaping; the best method for this would be making vaping products available on the NHS, as part of the existing campaign available from GP surgeries. What clown in government thought disposable vapes with candy flavours was the way to go? For a start, the pollution of millions of these things disposed of in cities every day due for landfill, or more likely in rivers and the sea, at a time when we are supposed to be caring more for the environment is about as dim as the political class gets. It is also guaranteed to lead to millions of kids taking up vaping since it's made more attractive and easy than starting smoking. And like everything politicians get wrong, they are now trying to deal with the very much anticipated [by some] results. This person is clearly one of those who come at this from an opposition to smoking, which many have with no personal experience, and he assumes therefore that smoking is the danger rather than the nicotine. Herbalists have used smoking herbs for thousands of years, and cannabis users the world over have smoked the herb with no epidemics of cancer resulting for just as long. For lung infections it is cleearly the best form of application, direct to the site of infection. To allow legal handing out of a handy easy to use carcinogen stick to kids when there was already a problem of them starting smoking tobacco is nothing short of criminal negligence. I wonder how many politicians have shares in tobacco and vapourisers?

    The toughest leaps are access with CMHT staff notions of treatment and primary care GP’s pulling all meds hanging someone out to dry. Another is price. In a cost of living crisis you *have* to undercut the illicit market by price significantly. Industry and commerce operate on both sides of the market, costs *can* come down and if these aspects were at least acknowledged your patient ‘market’ will grow. Ethics, essentially. Stigma is long gone for many but the system is labyrinthine - clinic choice, product range - and while a drug worker can access such protocols, people are wary of current cost/benefit analysis.

    Far more harm has been done to patients by the products of pharmaceutical companies than has ever been done by cannabis to even recreational users. Let us not forget the enormous for harm and the very low efficacy of most pharmaceuticals. Cannabis is way less harmful, way more effective in many circumstances and treats clusters of symptoms in a way that almost no pharmaceuticals can. We need consistent monitoring of patient health, but patients who wish to grow their own should. A patient with a garden could easily grow enough for the whole year with a handful of seeds and a reasonable law. The kind we do NOT have currently. We treat cannabis like crack cocaine, where we should be treating it more like sugar - though cannabis is less harmful than sugar for most.
