Synesthesia, sorry.

Yes.

Yeah, they've been saying it in sort of not a crude way, but kind of a hippy-dippy layman's way.

And now that we have the data and the trials and the science to back it up, I do feel like it's slowly being significantly destigmatized.

Yeah?

Are you optimistic that MDMA and psilocybin will ever be federally, recreationally legal?

Totally.

And it's just, it's, it's, it's had such a positive impact on my life in particular.

I know this is anecdotal guys, not medical advice, but it just, and just, just to think of my mom, my mom, I, you know, she's, she's still very intimidated.

She could probably qualify for a medical marijuana card, but she's very intimidated by the whole process.

And I sent her that and it curbs her anxiety because she doesn't like alcohol.

So she really treats it as a medicine, as a form of therapy, and it's had such a positive impact on her life.

One of our sponsors on the podcast is IndieCloud, and I take nighttime gummies almost every night with CBD, a little THC in there.

And yeah, it's just, again, mostly anecdotal, but MDMA, for instance, a lot of my friends have salvaged relationships

Through a mindful therapy, not in the therapist's office, but on their own accord, taking small amounts of MDMA and really working through things, you know?

Because it really does do a good job of making you less reactive, less afraid of conflict, and just...

I guess less defensive.

It really lets your guard down and brings out the compassion, the humanity, and it really opens up the doors for beautiful communication.

I'm speaking from personal experience mostly here, but yeah, wouldn't you agree?
