There’s one thing everyone should know about psychedelics:

If you’ve never taken them, you will never understand them. Period.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

[donnmerchant]

The only sad thing about psychedelics is you can never explain it enough for a non user to understand

[AA-gldr]

oh yes a dermatologist telling me how neuropharmacology and neuroanatomy works.

[ob]

these are definitely not real doctors at all

[Leticia-gjzn]

sure, cause antidepressants are so safe that in every one of their package inserts you have listed, as a possible side effect, an increase risk of suicidal behavior... among other very dangerous stuff. I guess that deserve some "oooohs" and "ahhhs" as well, right?.

This is the dumbest psychiatrist on the planet
He said something along the lines of 😂
“My patients took a small dose and never came back from the trip”

Take his license away... just take it

[vampen]

"Mom are you on acid?!?" Yeah right

[walkerfreeman]

The ending is so sad he literally lied to the public and you hear them immediately believe it

[Chestermcfly]

Remember these are the same people that will tell you to go to a therapist and take Prozac but will tell you that psychedelics are extremely dangerous when that is not the case

[airmark]

The smarty pants Psychiatrist who went on a
*"I know it all trip*
*& never came back* "

[merlinmillion]

If his patients went on a trip from a microdose and never came back its highly doubtful this was a microdose and likely those patients were susceptible to a psychotic break

[thomashogan]

The way this video ended was very disappointing. Fear mongering without even giving a chance to rebuttal. They just shut off his mic.

[budking]

That black guy just liying he claimed he's had pashints how have had a LSD or mushroom trip and have never come down but their is no documented case of a person never coming down

[DSuave-Me]

Good Physiatrists are the ones who have dealt with depression, anxiety, and mental illness. The others are the ones who only do it for the money, and never truly understand what their clients have gone through, or are going through.

He is a prime example of the ones who only do it for the money, however he does make a valid point that we have to take caution to experiment this with genuine research.

Anyone who's truly took a heavy dose of psycedlics knows how beautiful visions you have, even with you're eyes closed and also the wise conversations you have with you're subconscious thoughts are and is truly spectacular. There's no words that could explain what you see and realize without sounding like you lost you're mind.

[cassmandujano]

This is all bullshit haha micro dosing LSD is probably the best thing u could possibly do. And I have borderline personality disorder, nothing has helped me more than taking acid and other drugs such as shrooms and molly

[jasonserpa]

I used to eat 10 to 15 hits at a time during the mid to late 90's. Never had a bad time. Took a 10 year break, back on again. It's done wonders for me and part of my mental health being better now.

[richdude]

Medical professionals try to suppress these kinds of cures. It affects their money. Half of them up there never did lsd ( the doctors) so who is more unqualified?

[donaldganss]

Sounds like it is effective, and about as safe if not safer than prescription drugs cool

[Jerryberger]

Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
