No shit.

Yeah, it's not trivial.

And you can... you can...

can mitigate some of the risks there are better or i should say safer and less safe ways of approaching different psychedelics and it depends on the compound right like psychedelic is not a psychedelic it's not a psychedelic like these are as different

as completely separate classes of drugs in some cases, in my opinions.

And even at different doses, they behave very differently.

So, it's like 10 micrograms of LSD is very different than 200 micrograms of LSD, as an example.

I would just say that take it seriously, right?

And if you're going to consider these tools, the way I put it with folks, because a lot of friends come to me to discuss this, is I say, you should look at this as like you're having the neurosurgery example is a good one, but let's use perhaps a better comparison in some respects, which is you're about to have both knees or both hips replaced.

Okay.

So you're going to do a lot of homework on who's going to do that surgery.

And you're going to understand all the risks involved.

You're going to understand the durability, right?

You might need to get those hips replaced later again.

And what are you going to do?

You're going to do a lot of rehab.

It's like the surgery is the catalyst, but it's like if you have both knees replaced and you don't do any rehab,

that could have a worse outcome than not having surgery in the first place.

So what you do afterwards really matters.

And there's a lot of, I think, compelling research and a number of theories around this that I think are very credible from, say, Gould Dolan, who is a researcher who I believe now is at UC Berkeley, used to be at Hopkins.
