And we started talking. We started talking for a while and he stopped. He said, you know, I haven't talked about my son like this. And I realized, I don't know that I would have had this conversation prior to experiencing that medicine. And we started talking about it.

He said, we're going to grief counseling. But it's not working. They've gone to some like chainsaw counseling where they go into the woods with chainsaws and just start cutting trees as a way of trying to release anger and energy. I mean, axes and group therapy. And I asked him if he had thought about exploring psychedelics. And he said his wife was talking about that.

I said, in my mind, the way I'm thinking about you and your family, if this is your son right now in your mind, and he's right here, and wherever you look, your son, your dead son is right there, and you can't, right, wherever you look. I said, I believe that this medicine could maybe take your son and put him here for a minute. And give you... It's never going to go away.

The only thing I think is that young people might, I don't think it's good to do for someone, you know, much in their 20s still. I would encourage people to wait until their 30s. Yeah. Just because.
