Here's where things get spicy.

So table three summarizes adverse reactions reported in 44 out of 70 total articles.

So the first thing to understand is that if we look at 70 studies on psychedelics, in 44 of those 70 studies, something bad happened, right?

So what are the adverse reactions?

So in 37% of studies, we see no serious adverse events reported.

Most common one is headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, transient anxiety and delusions, transient increase in blood pressure.

So if we look at the safety profile implied by this awesome meta-analysis, which looked at 70 studies, it's like, hey, transient increases in blood pressure, like transient delusions.

None of this traumatizing crap that Dr. K is talking about, PTSD, anxiety, panic disorder, like none of those found permanent panic disorder.

So what's up with that, Dr. K?

This meta-analysis that looked at 70 studies contradicts what you just said.

And this is why we need to have a sophisticated and nuanced approach.

So let me ask you all a question.

Let's say I did a meta-analysis.

In the early stages, right, so these are like FDA trials, phase one, phase two, phase three clinical trials of benzodiazepines.

If I looked at Xanax, Valium, Lorazepam, Ativan, Oxycontin, opioid medication, what do y'all think?

the early trials when before this stuff hit the market and everyone started using it widely, what do you think the side effects were that were reported for these kinds of medications?

A little bit of dry mouth, a little bit of fatigue, a little bit of maybe sleepiness.

We didn't see the terrible potential for addiction with these medications, right?

So this is something that's really important to understand.
