YSK the FDA has granted psilocybin treatments for depression "breakthrough therapy" status 3 times since 2018 (sh.itjust.works)

psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, has proven itself to be effective against depression and physiologically safe. there are over 100 therapeutic psychedelic experiments going through the FDA approval process since the breakthrough status designation.

"At Day 21, following the second dose, 53% and 44% of patients in the 12 mg and 16 mg groups, respectively, were classified as responders (achieving a 50% or greater reduction in MADRS scores). By Day 126 (four months after the initial dose), the percentage of responders increased to 75% in both dosing groups."

"does this count as bringing sources to the table?"

yes, providing relevant sources counts as "bringing sources to the table".

"are you going to delete my comments again?"

nope, your previous comments were deleted for alarmism and lacking sources.

now you are sharing your own experience and general facts about psilocybin dosage supported with evidence.

looks good to me.

You're conflating LSD and psilocybin, two completely different chemicals with entirely different risk profiles.

you are also making alarmist claims without any evidence.

LSD is physiologically and psychologically dangerous.

psilocybin is physiologically safe and is only a psychological risk if you already have complicating factors.

please provide evidence if you want to make such far-reaching claims conflating two entirely different chemicals.

toxicity is a concern.

psychological risks concerning mushrooms are extremely low.

much lower than the movies or rumors online might make you think.

chocolate was actually my first introduction to shrooms.

it was pretty great. I laughed for a very long time with a friend, and was like "yea. this is good."

and I didn't even know how safe it was then, haha.

Your concern over dosage(~25g) is directly contradicted by evidence.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9751063/

show your sources. this community requires evidence for claims.

25 grams of mushrooms is not a very high dose for experienced users or for patients in therapeutical settings.

Setting is always crucial to a psychedelic experience, according to the FDA, NIH, and psychedelic communities.

https://erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=91095

magic mushrooms should be taken responsibly, and people following the basic recommended guidelines will be fine.

you can tell your own story without exaggerating things.

baseless alarmism is specifically what this post is fighting against.

caffeine only needs 190 mg per kilogram of body weight to have a 50/50 chance of killing you, whereas you would need 280 mg per kilogram of body weight of psilocybin.

listening to some presidents of the United States of America.

peaches, specifically.

but I've been thinking about this point with a lot of bands, and songs I love, lately.

also, I know this is crazy, but apparently I forgot there's a ninja fight at the end of the peaches video?

that was surprising.

I can't find the post or my comment that ended up with this show on my watchlist, and during the first 15 minutes I thought it was goofy, but by the end of the first episode I'm definitely hooked.

theit discussion of what it means to be human is pretty engaging.

Weird that the nearly ubiquitous US pay-for- stay incarceration policy is never mentioned on TV, huh?

YSK what a conspiracy is(and is not). (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 week ago by Varyk to c/youshouldknowfacts

3 comments fedilink

A conspiracy is "an unlawful, harmful, or evil plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot."

A conspiracy is not inherently fictional or nonfictional, it is a plan secretly devised by multiple people for an often harmful purpose.

In the same way books can be fictional and nonfictional, conspiracies can be fictional and nonfictional.

Fictional book: Harry Potter

Nonfictional book: The Diary of Anne Frank

Fictional conspiracy: Vaccines contain microchips - there is no evidence supporting this claim.

Nonfictional conspiracy: The Fake Electors plot - a documented and testified to attempt to steal the 2020 US presidency by Taco and friends by lying about the US election results

Nonfiction accounts are supported by verifiable, corroborated evidence.and has no rational basis for dispute

Why YSK: I see many posts and comments conflating the word "conspiracy" with "fictional scheme", which is not at all what the word "conspiracy" means.

Cannot climb the base of the spire in Horizon: Forbidden West (self.pcgaming)

submitted 1 month ago by Varyk to c/[email protected]

I'm playing with the keyboard and mouse, and the climbing is very clunky so far overall, but it seems completely broken for the spire.

when I get to the second to the last hand holds and I have to reach out and then long jump to the highest hand holds so that I can jump into the spire, aloy reaches out but only jumps to the left or right off the spire, she will not jump up to the highest, final handhold, even if she's reaching straight up.

has anyone else played this with a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller?

I've tried different key bindings and default, but she only jumps left or right off the spire and refuses to jump up to the highest handhold.

it looks very much like this guys problem, but he's playing it with a controller and finally solved it, sayd his problem was custom key bindings and the solution was default, but I can't get anywhere with these keyboard controls.

in the preview I can see them under the post, I've added share and save, but on the actual posts in the feed on any layout, share and save are not in the quick action bar.

do I have to enable something else also?

thanks
