Excited to share my collaboration with Psilouette! Enjoy a 20% discount on your initial purchase by applying the code TPB20 at checkout. Please note, this offer is valid on orders exceeding $40. This article delves into the challenges experienced by two individuals who participated in a Psilocybin trial. They believe that the conditions of the trial directly contributed to their ongoing struggles. Their accounts shed light on the need for comprehensive support following Psychedelic therapy sessions and bring attention to the possible enduring impacts of such treatments (should one explore this route…more on that later). Their experiences serve as a stark reminder of the gap between the envisioned ideal of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) clinics and the reality they faced, highlighting the crucial role of set & setting in the effectiveness of Psychedelic therapies.
I'd suggest that the main problem for PAT as well as psychedelic use and research in general is that understanding of what is going on when someone experiences "psychedelic effects"is woefully inadequate. A key to understanding the "drug effects" of these "drugs" is seeing that there are none, as such. All the effects are the quite natural effects of being a mysterious being in an even more mysterious kosmos, and experiencing a slight prod to see this reality.
I just read the linked article and am so disturbed. As we all know, set and setting is paramount and their experience sounds like my worst nightmare: the strip mall, indoors, esthetically displeasing, intense music, and seemingly unprepared sitters. I also wonder if Kim is experiencing disturbed kundalini on top of her previous struggles. It is possible that someone versed in kundalini awakenings and spiritual madness could assist her. My heart goes to both of those women.
Good one!

Pardon me if I have suggested this here previously!
"Medicinal versus recreational' categorization is irrelevant". Quite so.
How about exploratory? Isn't it a human universal to explore reality with a goal of seeing the big picture?
"The future likely lies in personal use at home"
AS it was in the past.
Psychedelics in a strip mall seems like an obvious nightmare. Crazy that anyone would think that’s an okay trial idea.
