    ITT: I do mushrooms and I don’t go crazy so therefore it’s impossible, and also I don’t understand human psychology at all.

      ITT: people who actually have experience with psychedelics arguing against people who’ve only experienced psychedelics by seeing them portrayed in movies.

        I have experience selling psychedelics, and some of the stories I’ve heard are pretty shocking.

          You need to shout so people hear it. There is a reason they are called mind-altering and always start the conversation with that at the front.

        Yes indeed.

        Always the same comments whenever mood- and perception-altering substances are discussed.

        “What you said is wrong because I don’t react that way!” or “I don’t know how drugs work but I watch a lot of TV!”

        edit: Oh how could I forget, also: “Weed isn’t addictive! I’ve been smoking 9g a day for 20 years and I’m still not addicted! I can quit any time!”
