OT: DEVASTATING WILDFIRE ….Santa Monica/Palisades fire being aided by 50-80mph Santa Ana winds. 100mph possible overnight

Don't be an asshole!! You know that bullshit is not real!!
Great job Bob, calling that out! Can't get anything by these lefties, sharp as a tack!
I suppose you think a post like that is appropriate during a tragedy! You are another asshole!

It's the Babylon Bee! It's satire, and anyone who follows them know that it is.

OT: Fascinating treatment for PTSD and addiction

As someone who works with both those dealing with substance use issues and veterans in mental health crisis, I can tell you that the risks of a heart murmur pale in comparison to what they are dealing with. 22 veterans die by suicide on a daily basis. 200+ Americans die from drug overdoses on a daily basis. I don’t recommend Ibogaine or Ayahuasca, but I’ve met countless families that have chosen this path at the the end of their ropes and I don’t blame them.

No one is advocating using these medications for the masses or ignoring the risks associated with them. I would absolutely advocate that we test them further and hopefully find a way to improve their safety for more widespread use.
Can you show me where I disagreed with anything you just said? I would push back on heart issues though.

How much experience do you have with psychodelics? How many times have you been to the land of magical dancing unicorns? Because I have, I know what unlocks in one’s brain when you go to the LSD/DMT realm. I’ve used these treatments personally to quit drinking (psilocybin).

I know that one can take shrooms or LSD with NO RISKs of heart failure and why the hell would we be looking at a drug that unlocks the same part of one’s brain but has legitimate health issues, not just risks, PROVEN issues.

I’m ALL FOR psilocybin to be used in PTSD/addiction treatment. I know first hand what it can do. You don’t need to mess with people hearts to do it.

Like I can’t believe the level of ignorance being displayed in this thread right now, people who are just ignoring massive issues like the heart…

NIL killed college hoops its now professional hoops

I hate the system as now implemented, and I don't blame the players. If someone wants to pay me $1mm to mow their lawn this year, I'm mowing their lawn.
Yeah, I don’t get the player hate. The system sucks but the players are a valuable commodity. They need to get paid one way or another. It was very un-American and non-Capitalist to deny them in the beginning.

What does that have to do with whether you pursue ‘experimental treatment’ in Europe as compared to Mexico?

I’d like him to answer the question. I have suspicions as to what his issue is with Mexican hospitals and doctors compared to Europeans but I’d be curious if he’s bold enough to say it out loud. No reason to beat around the bush
Just another issue to deal with. You mentioned the safety risk, but the feedback that "it works" may be based on placebo and not the actual drug.

And agreed on your other point.

There is a huge difference there and if it has to be explained.....
One is having a shot forced upon you when you don't necessarily need it because you are not infected/sick;
The other is to treat an active medical issue and with ANY treatment, there will be side effects.

You know, freedom of choice.
Who forced anyone to get the shot? That didn’t happen. No what happened was certain fields and organizations required a shot in order to work/gain access to said places.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there was about 10 different vaccines and immunizations RUTGERS required I have to live on campus and participate in D1 athletics. This was in 2007.

You are a fool, a highly impressionable fool
