MDMA and shrooms, nice.

I wish all drugs were legal. Bodily autonomy and all. But it's a good small step.

I didn't see this coming. The lack of access to psychedelics here has been one of my rants for years. Though if the cost is in the tens of thousands, that's just as useless...

Good news, a step in the right direction at least. I wish I still lived in a country where shrooms were legal in some forms and you could buy them in normal shops. I'd trip every few months and it would reset my depression back to a manageable level for a while. Plus it was just nice to have everything be simple and vibrant and interesting and have the bad things melt away, even if it was only for a few hours. I hope one day it will be legal everywhere, having it be illegal does more harm than good. They make it illegal for the few that might abuse it or have bad experiences with it, but it could help a lot of people, or at least give us something fun to do.

As far as I know, you're really unlikely to have a bad trip in a controlled environment with trained professionals around you. They tend to happen when you're in an uncontrolled area and paranoid. I'm sure they will screen for stuff that could give you a bad trip.

Hospitals and medical settings in general give me almost unbearable anxiety, plus I can't imagine being in an all-white room around normal people and only be able to sit there with nothing cool to look at or anything. I think it would be a really bad experience for me.
