Once deemed dangerous and illegal, psychedelic compounds have been rediscovered by the scientific, medical and psychiatric communities as research reveals their capacity to help patients with a range of maladies. With investors beginning to flood this new market with capital, will Big Pharma join in, or try to squash a nascent revolution of the mind?

big motha pharma aint taking it down cause.. A.H, thats why

@violetlunakitty says:

I don't agree with the notion that big Pharma needs to be profiting off of psychedelic medicine revolution at all, they have represented a corrupt capitalistic agenda that prioritizes money over anything else. They are fundamentally fueled by capitalism and aren't trustworthy in carrying out the task of distributing this medicine. A DIY approach and creating our own healing centers, especially with the predictable widespread legalization of psychedelic healing, is a more protected approach. Big Pharma can / will fall on their own and I truly don't think these very sacred medicines need to be intimately connected with them. If we're creating a new world this a new foundation that should be created.

Very very interesting I wish I could try a dose

@B-U-T-C-H-E-R says:

Funny how the things that would land us in jail when i was younger, are fine when the pharmaceutical companies sell them. We have "medicinal" amphetamines, psychedelics, opiates, and marijuana. They got all the bases covered.

I did acid when i was 19 or 20. I had such a bad trip, it effects me to this day, and im 38

@CamilleSwisher says:

Psychedelics helped me over my bad anxiety and it was through the help of a mycologist

@PyroJoe1 says:

For me it was 2.5 hits of gelatin acid, whatever the actual dose, I'll never know. But it wasn't even that night (which was amazing in it's own right, don't get me wrong) but the days after I noticed a difference. I was actually excited about life, not only content to sit on my porch and observe the world but eager to experience whatever I could. I'd seen many clouds and sunsets and felt many a breeze, but it's like i wasn't aware before. The world I'd always ignored was suddenly fascinating and inspiring. Soon i was for the first time ever going for nature walks, forest bathing, bird watching, kayaking, etc. And I even got into group therapy after being a recluse for 4 years or so, and shortly after employed again. Psychedelics aren't a magic cure, but they sure can change how you see yourself and the world, more than you can know until you've had a 'meaningful' experience for yourself.

Please consider me for your trials

@derp6466 says:

I wonder if they'll make these for kids?

@spunkysparks1779 says:

Dmt was the greatest. I remember feeling so sorted out for a while after dosing.

@rachelwhite438 says:

Literally once you said “the therapeutic benefits “ it should be moved away from schedule 1

@Malouco says:

So most of the people who were involved in heavy LSD experiments during the 50’s and 60’s are dead or too old.
If all of the documents were declassified I wonder how controversial they would be to us normal people who are finding benefits to mild doses used on occasion.

@Eddie_flores says:

Bought mine from an online dispensary

@Susieq26754 says:

They will be everyone's downfall. People will die mentally and physically, because of Psychedelics. Haven't we learned anything from the past?

@Shroom_toks-on-insta says:

If you’re looking for the legit page to order psychedelic from,

@alkeryn1700 says:

can't wait to be able to buy mushrooms or medical grade dmt or lsd in a store.

@DoctorJamesJames says:

Psilocybin, mushrooms and psychedelics generally are very beneficial substance and can really help people with mental health issues. They are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough, it's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety.**
