I have been pondering these ideas. I am not saying they are right, I just want other’s thoughts on them. I am not against psychedelics, so wondering how they could be used since they were a big part of the CIA’s MKULTRA program.
There is an idea that the CIA helped the Nicaraguan Contras ship cocaine to start the crack epidemic to take weaken black resistance like the Black power movement.
There is another idea that psychedelics was used to pacify college students instead of having radical anti-war activists that they would create Hippies.
I have heard bad things about SSRIs myself, but was never on them and been people saying that some of the school shooters are on that stuff.
I was on Adderall for having ADHD, but stopped taking it because I felt it was making me have social anxiety. I found it harder to talk to people because of it and it made me more nervous and jittery.
One day, I took Adderall again after not taking for a month which is a bad idea since it is the type of medicine where you have to work your way up to a dose. I spend a class period being so jittery it hurt.
Yeah, western medicine isn’t designed to make you better. It’s designed to sort of, kind of suppress the symptoms, but mostly just to keep you buying more of it.
Meanwhile, studies on psilocybin have show it has the potential to be a long term cure with a single dose having lasting effects of months, or even years. That’s why it’ll never be made legal.
this is why i think the mixed salts approach of adderall sucks compared to pure Dexedrine or it’s pro-drug, Vyvanese. the difference is like night and day, pure Dex makes me feel so relaxed
meanwhile adderall is just like tossing some unnecessary norepinephrine release in there for no reason (basically the fight or flight neurotransmitter).
