Don't Follow Everything Psychedelic Clinics Tell Us
For newcomers to psychedelia ๐ŸŒˆ, I see that many start their education with the clinical trials.
Psilocybin for depression๐Ÿ”นMDMA for PTSD๐Ÿ”น DMT for end-of-life anxiety
All these efforts deserve more attention and praise; however, these psychedelic experiences for patients account for less than 1% of all psychedelic journeys. The other 99% are the experiences us Psychonauts have: unguided journeys that are formed by the influences around usโ€”whether purposeful or not.
I love that psychedelics are being viewed as "medicines" in the typical pharmaceutical manner. And I also love these substances as "medicines" for the soul ; the psyche ๐ŸŒ€.
Until the day comes where psychedelic clinics (or at least harm reduction areas ) are created en masse... well, we gotta make do with what we got. WE have to make the setting acceptable for a good trip. WE must embody our intention during the trip . WE must integrate our trips .
You donโ€™t have to do all this alone, of course. It's just that there's always a feeling where I go: "Damn, if I'm on some sort of NSA watchlist, then I am cooked ๐Ÿ˜…"
๐“๐ฅ;๐๐ซ People shouldnโ€™t duplicate clinical practices for a psychedelic journey, especially if the intention is different. Psychedelics are medicines for the soul as much as they're medicines for the mind.
