If people have problems, just tell them to take magic mushrooms.

This will work.

AP:

As Colorado becomes the second state to legalize psychedelic therapy this week, a clash is playing out in Colorado Springs, where conservative leaders are restricting the treatment over objections from some of the city’s 90,000 veterans, who’ve become flagbearers for psychedelic therapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

Colorado residents voted to legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the chemical compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, in a 2022 ballot measure, launching two years of rulemaking before it could be used to treat conditions such as depression and PTSD.

This week, companies and people will be able to apply for licenses to administer the mind-altering drug, though treatment will likely not be available for some months as applications are processed.

Colorado joined Oregon in legalizing psilocybin therapy, though the drug remains illegal in most other states and federally. Over the last year, a growing number of Oregon cities have voted to ban psilocybin. While Colorado metros cannot ban the treatment under state law, several conservative cities have worked to preemptively restrict what are known as “healing centers.”

Why?

If it’s good, why are people organizing initiatives to ban it?

(I actually don’t know the answer to that. I can guess, but I don’t know specifically what prompted grassroots organization to ban psychedelics in Oregon. I’ve read the news articles about it, but none of these news articles seem to want to explain what the concerns are about this weird shit.)

At a City Council meeting in Colorado Springs this month, members were set to vote on extending the state prohibition on healing centers from 1,000 feet (305 meters) to 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from certain locations, such as schools. From the lectern, veterans implored them not to.

…

While research has shown promise for psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin and MDMA, also known as molly, in helping people with conditions such as alcoholism, depression and PTSD, the scientific field remains in its relatively early stages.

Research has shown we should turn mental health into a 1990s rave party.

“I’m very positive about the potential value, but I’m very concerned that we’ve gotten too far ahead of our skis,” said Jeffrey Lieberman, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, who’s been involved in studies of psychedelic drugs’ therapeutic efficacy.

The risks, said Lieberman, include customers being misled and paying out of pocket for expensive treatments. He also said there are cases where the drugs can exacerbate some extreme mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia.

Jeez. Even Lieberman thinks we’ve gone too far in messing with the minds of these goyim.

Probably, he wants to write a book after these people have total psychological breakdowns saying, “well, I said this was going to happen.”

Maybe having churches with priests was not such a terrible idea?

The media is running PSAs telling people that taking psychedelic drugs is a really good idea and will help you a lot because nonwhite people did it during primitive times and primitive nonwhites are superior.

I guess this is just as good a time as any to say it:

Government be like: “maybe we should give people psychedelic mushrooms for their mental health? I heard it on a podcast, it will probably work.”

Drug reform advocates hailed Oregon as a progressive leader when it became the first in the nation to legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the compound found in psychedelic mushrooms.

But four years later, voters in a growing list of its cities have banned the substance.

Four cities, spanning Portland suburbs and rural and coastal towns, added new voter-approved prohibitions for the federally illegal compound in the Nov. 5 election. A dozen other communities that approved two-year moratoriums in 2022, when a majority of Oregon counties and over 100 cities voted to temporarily or permanently ban psilocybin, voted in this election to make the restrictions permanent.

In the wake of the fentanyl crisis, the rejection of drug liberalization measures in Oregon and states across the country this election has some experts questioning whether voters are rethinking their appetite for such policies.

You would have to assume so.

In Massachusetts, for example, voters rejected a measure that would have allowed residents over 21 to grow and use plant-based psychedelic drugs in certain circumstances. All three states that had measures to legalize recreational marijuana voted against it.

Oregon voters, in particular, appear to have soured on drug reform. A law passed by voters four years ago that decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs, including heroin and methamphetamine, was rolled back by the state legislature earlier this year after heated debate over whether it played a role in a spike in public drug use and deaths.

How would legalizing drugs not increase use?

What sort of retard would this not be obvious to?

“Perhaps the fact that the drug policy reform pendulum appears to be swinging back towards prohibition is part of a broader trend toward a preference for ‘law and order’ among American voters,” said Josh Hardman, founder of Psychedelics Alpha, a consulting firm and newsletter on psychedelic research, business and policy. “Oregon, specifically, has been touted as an example of liberal drug policies gone wrong.”

That’s exactly what is happening. America is doing a full-swing back to conservatism. America does everything in extremes, so this is likely to be an extreme swing.

The woke stuff was so extreme, and left such a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, that this kind of swing was inevitable.

Honestly, I’m not even sure psychedelic mushrooms are that big of a deal, but as stated above, people are reacting to the legalization of marijuana and hard drugs and the terrible effects of that.

“Switch” as he goes by on the streets, says he specifically came to #Portland, Oregon, all the way from Indiana, because Measure 110 allowed him to do drugs, openly, without consequence.

The youth, which has been raised on woke garbage since they were suckling babes, is going to be at the forefront of pushing back against this gay, feminism, anti-white, junkie agenda.

The Democrats are all now saying that they went too far with weird tranny shit everyone hates. They aren’t even talking about the “defund the police” shit they pushed. Kamala Harris’ entire campaign was based on “law and order” and closing the border, with the only real leftist policies she promoted being abortion and endless war.

All of these left policies have created a dystopian hellscape where people have neither freedom nor safety, and it was just obvious that the population would not tolerate this state forever.

The swing back is going to be epic.

There are good libertarian arguments about drugs. For example: it’s simply a fact that 100 years ago, everyone had a bottle of heroin in their medicine cabinet, and yet there weren’t any junkies.

However, that ship has sailed, and due to whatever series of harsh realities, we have a lot of junkies in our society. Therefore, any move to make drugs legal is an attempt to increase use.

Mushrooms are not an addictive drug. They cause hallucinations, without euphoria.

But why would you want more people taking these drugs? What is the purpose?

New York Post:

New Jersey is mulling a law that would make it only the third state to decriminalize so-called “magic mushrooms” — and it may even allow residents grow their own supply right at home.

State lawmakers introduced a bill last week that would allow for the manufacturing and sale of products with psilocybin — the chemical in shrooms that produces the hallucinations — and let anyone over the age of 21 use it without penalty, according to The Record newspaper.

It would also expunge past and pending offenses involving the drug, and let people legally possess up to four grams of psilocybin, the outlet said.

Although several cities — such as Denver, Oakland, Seattle and Detroit — have legalized the drug in recent years, only Oregon and Colorado have moved to decriminalize it statewide.

Although opponents argue legalization will boost drug abuse, the bill has strong backing in the state government’s upper chamber, with Senate President Nick Scutari listed as its sponsor.

Scutari was the original sponsor of the state’s long push to legalize recreational marijuana, which passed in 2021.

The state health department would issue licenses for manufacturing facilities and retailers, as well as testing laboratories, The Record said.

Mushrooms or other psilocybin products would have to be consumed at specific service centers, which would also offer prep sessions, screenings and “administration sessions” that would have employees guide customers through their hallucinogenic episodes, according to the outlet.

The centers wouldn’t be allowed in residential neighborhoods or within 1,000 feet of a school.

…

The new legalization push comes just as one of the Garden State’s largest health care providers moves forward on plans to use psychedelics to treat depression and other major mental illnesses, the outlet said.

The only logical explanation as to why you would want people doing hallucinogenic drugs is that you want people to be less engaged with the society.

You notice that through all this drug legalization, there is no attempt to decriminalize or legalize cocaine, even though it is much less addictive than marijuana. The reason, presumably, is that cocaine is a “right-wing” drug in that it is associated with people who work a lot, rather than people who lay around watching Netflix.

If people have problems, we can just give them drugs.

It’s very reasonable and logical.

New York Times:

The curriculum was set, the students were enrolled and Oregon officials had signed off on nearly every detail of training for the first class of “magic” mushroom facilitators seeking state certification.

But as the four-day session got underway inside a hotel conference room in early December, an important pedagogical tool was missing: the mushrooms themselves.

That’s because state officials, two years after Oregon voters narrowly approved the adult use of psilocybin, were still hammering out the regulatory framework for the production and sale of the tawny hallucinogenic fungi.

Instead, the students, most of them seasoned mental health professionals, would have to role play with one another using meditation or intensive breathing practices that could lead to altered states of consciousness — the next best thing to the kind of psychedelic trip they would encounter as licensed guides.

Not that anyone was complaining.

Like many of the two dozen students who paid nearly $10,000 for the course, Jason Wright, 48, a hospital psychiatric nurse in Portland, said he was thrilled to be part of a bold experiment with national implications. “It’s incredible to be on the front lines of something that has the potential to change our relationship with drugs that should never have been criminalized in the first place,” he said.

On Jan. 1, Oregon became the first state in the nation to legalize the adult use of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic that has shown significant promise for treating severe depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and end-of-life anxiety among the terminally ill, among other mental health conditions.

Although scientists are still working to understand their therapeutic dynamics, psilocybin and other psychedelics are thought to promote neuroplasticity, a rewiring of the brain that gives patients fresh perspectives on longstanding psychiatric problems.

One recent study on alcohol-use disorder, for example, found that two doses of psilocybin paired with talk therapy led to an 83 percent decline in heavy drinking among participants, and that nearly half of them had stopped drinking entirely by the end of the eight-month trial.

The long-term benefits, however, remain unclear.

Measure 109, as it’s called, authorized the creation of psilocybin service centers where anyone over 21 can consume the mushrooms in a supervised setting. One key requirement is that a state-certified facilitator must be present during drug-induced journeys, which can last five or six hours.

Unlike cannabis, which can be sold at dispensaries, Oregon will not allow the retail sale of psilocybin; consumption must take place at a licensed service center.

For drug reform supporters, Oregon’s approval of Measure 109 is nothing short of revolutionary, a seismic policy shift they hope will inspire other states and municipalities — and persuade federal authorities to ease longstanding prohibitions.

Oregon voters also made history in 2020 by decisively voting to decriminalize the personal possession of small amounts of hard drugs like heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine.

Although psilocybin and the other drugs remain illegal at the federal level — a regulatory clash that complicates the state’s headlong embrace of decriminalization — Oregon’s decision to overhaul its relationship with mind-altering compounds is already influencing other jurisdictions.

In November, Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that removes criminal penalties for possessing certain psychedelics, and similar ballot measures and reform legislation have been introduced in New York, Washington and a dozen other states. Over the past three years, Washington D.C., Seattle and a score of American cities have also moved to decriminalize psilocybin.

Mounting scientific interest in psychedelics has reached the highest levels of government. The Food and Drug Administration in 2018 granted psilocybin “breakthrough therapy” status for major depressive disorder, a designation that paved the way for clinical trials. Researchers say they expect full F.D.A. approval in the coming year or two. Another drug with strong therapeutic potential, MDMA, or Ecstasy, is likely to win F.D.A. approval even sooner for treating post-traumatic stress disorder.

Very science.

Can mushrooms turn you away from American nationalism?

The Jew liberal establishment has been in full-panic mode for over a year now, and we’re starting to see some of the more hilarious fruits of that phenomenon.

Scientists are looking into new innovative ways to “fight fascism” (ie. the Alt-Right and Trumpism). For example, a few months back, scientists found a link between authoritarian attitudes and being infected with parasites:

TOP KEK! Actually, that sounds about right.

Unfortunately, they didn’t arrive at the obvious conclusion that getting rid of parasites such as Jews and negroes would do wonders for their agenda to stem the tide of fascism.

Now, a new study claims that ingesting magic mushrooms will “cure” people of their authoritarian attitudes.

Big Think:

Researchers found unlikely heroes in keeping the world from authoritarianism – magic mushrooms. Scientists from the Psychedelic Research Group at Imperial College London showed that psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, makes people less likely to embrace authoritarian views like fascism and more connected with nature.

Hmmm…

The study, authored by Taylor Lyons and Robin L. Carhart-Harris, a leading researcher in this field, shows that psilocybin treatment can lead to lasting changes in such mindsets.

“Treatment.”

I guess tripping out on shrooms is a “treatment” now. OK.

“Our findings tentatively raise the possibility that given in this way, psilocybin may produce sustained changes in outlook and political perspective, here in the direction of increased nature relatedness and decreased authoritarianism,” write Carhart-Harris and Lyons.

The main issue here is the ridiculous assumption that feelings of connectedness with nature and authoritarianism are somehow incompatible.

In reality, soyboy commie faggotry is a symptom of total disconnectedness with the natural order.

This is nature:

No communism here.

Somehow the ants don’t care about the bee’s feelings.

Yes, even plants can be vicious killers.

Hippy types are generally city-dwellers whose only relationship to nature is watching documentaries on TV and taking the occasional hike.

Country folk who actually are connected with nature, by virtue of living in it, usually have a much harder and more authoritarian view of the world.

2016 election map. Notice how the vast wilderness is largely red, while the urbanized coastlines are blue. This is not a coincidence.

What Lyons and Carhart-Harris set out to understand in their relatively small current study (involving 14 subjects) was whether using psilocybin could specifically promote anti-authoritarian attitudes and nature-oriented feelings. They compared 7 subjects with major depression, who were resistant to previous treatment and now received two oral doses of psilocybin, to 7 control subjects who were not taking the psychedelic ingredient.

The scientists checked in with the participants before they started treatment, a week into it and after 7-12 months. They found that participants who got the psilocybin had a clear increase in their attitudes of nature-relatedness after just 1 week – an effect they sustained after 7-12 months as well.

“Before I enjoyed nature, now I feel part of it,” wrote one subject. “Before I was looking at it as a thing, like TV or a painting… [But now I see] there’s no separation or distinction, you are it.”

These participants also showed a marked and lasting decrease in authoritarian attitudes and had fewer depression symptoms. Those who have not received the drug, showed no such changes.

Psilocybin is a drug that improves neuro-plasticity. In other words, it allows your brain to make new connections, improving the ability to learn new things, give up on old habits, and so on. Naturally, with weak-minded people who are also living in an liberalized environment, that will also make them absorb the surrounding propaganda more effectively.

It could be worthy of further study in terms of its use in therapy, but it definitely doesn’t have any inherent ability to make people “less authoritarian,” whatever that means.

It’s crazy how unhinged these people are becoming as a result of this “Trump panic.”
