    There’s no “may” about it.

    The FDA has labeled psilocin a breakthrough drug twice because it’s extremely effective in clinical trials at treating depression and anxiety while being non-toxic and non-addictive.

      It would be widely adopted already if it didn’t have that one nasty side effect where it reveals how the artificial control structures implemented and enforced through a state monopoly on violence are based more upon maximizing profits and serving personal pet interests than actually attempting to build and maintain a robust and coherent society.

        Idk, they’re illogically banned in a lot of countries.

        Pretty cool psilocin is scientifically validated and being decriminalized in the US. Good to see.

        I will take relatively late over never.

      The FDA needs to be given rescheduling authority instead of the DEA. As it is, the FDA can only submit recommendations and then everyone waits around to see if the cops in the DEA agree or not.

        Completely agree, another example of idiotic bureaucracy getting in the way of helping people
