Yeah.

It can be scary.

And I would argue, too, that like you probably need to.

be in a certain amount of pain for it to be susceptible to the benefits of it.

One of the things that I run into all the time out of here is, like, people are doing psychedelic therapy as, like, a fucking hobby.

It's like going to the doctor and not being injured, right?

And then being like, this doctor changed my life.

It's like, dude, you weren't injured.

It's gonna change your life, bro.

Just from my anecdotal point of view, like,

Most of the people I've met who have done it, like I can't really see anything that has changed or anything that's different.

But I do have one friend that it like seems to have actually made a massive difference in a short period of time.

But again, the thing about him is that he was literally on his last resort, like he was dealing with some issues that.

been going on for years that he had gone everywhere right he had gone to therapy he had gotten marriage counseling he had gotten psychiatric medicine he had tried he tried everything and he was just like on his last leg and he's like

fuck it, let me try this.

And then that was the thing that broke through for him, right?

So it's almost like he was probably pretty close to the bottom to begin with.

So maybe it might even be that the psychedelics just accelerate the process.

That's if it's already in motion, which is probably true of like the self-help seminars thing, right?

Like I think there probably are people that do seemingly have quantum changes at self-help seminars, but they are probably people who are near or already at bottom when they attend, right?
