    If the trial does not succeed, that would be a very sad Flowers for Algernon situation.

    Psilocybin. Nice.

      Super interesting. I wonder how well it’s replicated and I wonder how long it’ll last. Even maybe reaching that first level of reversal and then microdosing so they’re not tripping, just keeping the clarity

        I’m assuming it’s this 80 year old lady’s first time.

          Probably. Everyone should be doing shrooms.

            If I had a clue how to acquire & use them, I wouldn’t mind giving it a try. Having wasted my life being so straight-laced & boring continues to take its toll…

              Depending on where you live you could probably buy them or grow them yourself. Growing is easy and fun and trippy!!!

                I saw spores for sale at a few places around here. They’re for “research purposes only” but they’re viable. I’d grow 'em but not sure if I’d use them. I love growing things and I wouldn’t mind growing gourmet ones, as well

              More power to you… I’ve done a lot of different drugs… but shrooms and lsd are two that scare the hell out of me. My mind is fucked enough as it is without taking the leash off… I’m not sure what i would experience, but I’m almost positive I wasn’t nothing to do with it

                  If I ever get the opportunity to go to a licensed, experienced psychologist, and they don’t go screaming into the night, I would probably give it a shot…

    It is very, very fucking funny in that Kafka kind of way that the Reaganites are responsible for this discovery being held back for so long if it pans out.

    Also we should definitely hang some people for doing that 🤷‍♂️

      The tragic thing being they won’t even notice it due to all the memory loss.
