I'm still waiting for the flashbacks they promised me.

 Don't do acid they said. You'll get
 flashbacks the rest of your life they
 said. Yeah - well I'm still waiting... 

And now they're talking about tripping as 
a therapeutic? Gimme a friggin' break.
 
One of a few treatments designated a breakthrough therapy by the FDA, MDMA-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder is an incredibly promising treatment for this devastating mental injury. Survivors of PTSD may struggle to stay connected in their work, families, and communities. 
They often live with symptoms like insomnia, hyper-vigilance and isolation; these commonly lead to substance use disorder, depression, chronic pain or heart problems. 
Yet most of the available treatments provide symptom relief for only about half of the people with the diagnosis, with even fewer people experiencing remission.

  1. And then there's all the people who swear on Ayahuesca as a healing agent. Because taking a poison that makes you barf so hard you turn inside out is 'healthy.' And the visions as your body convulses and overheats are supposed to show the 'true you.'

    Yeah, no. Nope. Nopey nope.

    If I want a mind-blowing yak attack, I'd just eat shady food truck 'Mexican.'
