So no side effects so far, which is very, very promising, but that still does need to be checked out.
Absolutely.
And I I think this is a case of it's it's um sometimes people feel that only medicine sometimes comes from pharmaceutical companies, but a lot of the stuff that pharmaceutical companies use comes from things that were tried and tested for years and years in other contexts.
Science is exploring lots of ways and I suppose to find any solution to to to to what might be uh uh I suppose a massive impact on somebody's life.
Mushrooms though, as well, I I like I said before, I've seen them.
I know a personally a friend who's actually gone through a process in another country with them to actually take mushrooms, be able to experience uh uh uh I suppose uh it was a was in a kind of a violent sexual relationship, wasn't able to deal with the process, but having taken this, I suppose, hallucinogenic, was able to be
sedate in reliving and kind of processing what had happened and dealing with it and then being able to let go further on.
And for someone who suffered through that for years and years and years, this was a a a massive leap for them.
But again, it was in a very controlled environment.
Again, like I said, it's not in common use here.
And that was really, really positive for them.
But again, it is that case of that you need to have a controlled environment where people
know what they're doing.
It's not to just say psychedelics are the cure for everything, but there is a massive area of research that could be opened up if kind of the stigma around that they're they're just drugs or they're just whatever else like that.
There is everything that could be explored in a way that's controlled and with the right evidence.
Once it's evidence backed and peer-reviewed, then you you're on the right track.
Yeah, no, it's not as crusty and dead as you might think.
It's good news.
It's doing what it actually, I suppose, was evolutionary designed to do.
Like you said, it's evolved over millions of years to survive dry periods by going dormant.
