psychedelics: a personal take - by Ava - bookbear express

I took psilocybin for the first time around 1.5 years ago. After that my life changed. A few friends have encouraged me to write about psychedelics because I’ve had such an excellent experience with them, but I’ve been reluctant because it feels like a deeply private thing. However, I’ve become more convinced over time that that sharing could potentially be useful—I think the way we currently treat mental health problems in this country is often ineffectual, and many people I know are deeply depressed and alienated. I believe that psychedelics have the potential to help them. I’m very excited about the current FDA studies and the recent legalization in Oregon.
