that's unfortunate and sounds frustrating. sorry to hear that.

i agree. and as there are more studies being conducted about the potential health benefits of these psychedelics, this will lead to increased knowledge to understanding both the positive and negative effects of these medicines. which in turn can be helpful in regards to availability and regulation. i reckon there would be fewer people causing harm to themselves if psychedelics were regulated and legally available under the care of health professional so people didn't have to get to that point of desperation thinking that their final glimmer of hope for relief means they have to rely on dubious and illegal means to obtain it.
