    Yes, I read the article where he makes them pinky promise and sign a permission slip. That doesn’t bolster your argument anymore then it will provide him a legal shield.

    It’s not concern trolling, it’s voicing legitimate risks associated with uneducated and inexperienced people taking them based on my personal extensive experiences, as well as the scientific data around the efficacy of psilocybin as a treatment for PTSD - which was suggested at in the same article you implied I didn’t read.

    I also said they should be legal, but again, that doesn’t really have any bearing on my assertions that this guy is exposing himself to a lot legal risks due to the nature of psilocybin’s effects, particularly on inexperienced users, nor that using psilocybin with, or to treat, PTSD, not just ineffective, but also a bad idea - unlike MDMA which actually has scientific evidence to support it’s efficacy as a PTSD treatment (paired with psychotherapy).
