California continues the War on Drugs? 🤷The California continues the War on Drugs? 🤷The California legislature had the power to act on psychedelic decriminalization, but instead decided to continue the War on Drugs.Ending this War on People —and perhaps more accurately, this war on poor, black and brown people— needs to be the first step taken by those in power if ever we want to build a healthy and trusting community.Politicians in the most populous state in America, decided to gut a psychedelic decriminalization bill that would have at least slowed the pace of this War on People.Yes, supposedly liberal California, where Democratic Senators and Assemblymen outnumber Republicans 91 to 28, have decided that a person choosing to explore their consciousness with a substance such as LSD deserves to be punished with up to a year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines, potentially destroying their future and the stability of their families.To read more about the issue at hand, click the #linkinbio!#BIPOC #republicans #democrats #USA #California #warondrugs #plantmedicine #health #prison #america #news
Recreational Mushroom Therapy or Formal Psychedeli Recreational Mushroom Therapy or Formal Psychedelic Therapy? THAT is the question! 🍄There are many arguments for conventional psychedelic therapy. However, anecdotes of recreational use and the benefits that psychonauts derive from this practice keep on piling up.This is the case for Mary Carreon. Eating psilocybin mushrooms consistently over the past decade has helped her cultivate an intimate relationship with her closet monsters, it is Mary's personal form of psychedelic therapy. And the more she let the mushrooms mediate, the monsters seem to have less control over her actions, particularly when it comes to winning arguments.click on the #linkinbio to read all about Mary's journey!Photo Credits: @ladybyyrd#mushrooms #therapy #fungi #mentalhealth #healthylifestyle #healthy #Mindfullness #themoreyouknow #plantmedicine
The “serotonin hypothesis” of clinical depress The “serotonin hypothesis” of clinical depression is almost 50 years old. At its simplest, the hypothesis proposes that diminished activity of serotonin pathways plays a causal role in the pathophysiology of depression.This theory has been a successful marketing technique employed by pharmaceutical companies to popularize and sell their SSRI inspired antidepressants.However, researchers have found no clear evidence that serotonin levels or activity cause depression, according to a review of prior research published in Molecular Psychiatry.This new insight reopens the ongoing debate about the causes of depression, and how SSRIs and psychedelics might actually treat this debilitating ailment.photo: @fredericchernyt#health #mindfullness #news #depression #mind #brain #anitdepressants #lifestyle #mentalhealth
