Given the current stigma against even very informed, responsible usage of certain substances, I worry that comments like mine above could potentially have a negative impact on efforts to raise money for a company, found a non-profit, run for local office, etc.
I don't know if I'll be doing things like that in the future, but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot. The internet is sometimes a little too good at holding onto information sometimes :/
Perhaps I'm being overly cautious. It's hard to say.
This strongly echoes my own personal experience, as well my understanding of how to more accurately think about these substances. Thank you for taking the time to write such an articulate comment.
Mind you, being such powerful tools, they should be used with great care, as they can be used in damaging ways and by those who aren't prepared. And they aren't magic either -- they aren't going to save the world or cure cancer.
But, I think that research done with an open mind reveals the mainstream perspective on psylocybin and LSD to be quite misguided and uninformed. Based off personal experience, as well as recent sciencific studies, it seems they have the potential to bring about much good. I suppose my main concern is that most people aren't interested, at this point in time, in having their perspective and worldviews challenged in the way that serious, introspective use tends to do.
Just to clarify, I'm talking about special occasion, standard dose usage. I don't have any knowledge about the effects or safety of micro-dosing.
