Summary
Colorado has become the second state to legalize psychedelic therapy, allowing psilocybin to be used for treating PTSD and depression.
Tensions have arisen in conservative areas like Colorado Springs, where restrictions on “healing centers” have been passed despite objections from veterans advocating for the therapy.
Veterans argue it provides crucial mental health support, though concerns over FDA approval and potential risks persist.
Psilocybin therapy will be tightly regulated, with licensed facilitators overseeing treatments.
Advocates see it as a vital alternative for those unresponsive to traditional treatments.
remember back when conservatives at least tried to act like they were interested in veterans’ affairs?
They say shit like “support the troops” and “thank you for your service” which is similar to “thoughts and prayers” for helpfulness.
No? I’m willing to accept evidence, but I do not believe they have ever actually acted in veterans best interests. Maybe Eisenhower warning us about the military industrial complex, maybe.
i didn’t intend to ever imply conservatives ever actually gave a shit about veterans. i just meant they used to work a little harder to hide how much they hated veterans
Ahh yes! Good ole conservative virtue signaling. They are real life versions of the magnetic yellow ribbons people used to put on their car that say “we support the troops” but the magnet was as far as they went to actually supporting said troops.
Fucking over veterans is a time honored tradition in America that goes all the way back to the beginning of the country.
If conservatives don’t like it they don’t need to participate.
I would bet the risks of this kind of therapy are far lower than chiropractors and chiropractors are dangerous quacks.
A conservative can’t fathom a world where they aren’t controlling and grifting people.
Nothing like conserving mental illness. Go team! /S
Party of “don’t tread on me” can mind their own damn business
Conservatives are NEVER right on ANYTHING. And what goddamn business is this of theirs??
Stuff’s great at showing you what you need to do to heal. You still gotta do it, but it’s internal stuff so sometimes knowing it and doing it happen one right after the other.
