Good for you.
But one doesn't have to play professional baseball to have an informed opinion on baseball, and that translates to any profession.
Like saying only military veterans have a valid opinion on foreign affairs.
“”Like saying only military veterans have a valid opinion on foreign affairs.””
Had you said a valid opinion on war I would beg to differ, there’s quite the difference between that and foreign affairs. As far as Psychedelic drugs go I would value the opinion of a person who had actually experienced them of one who only read about them. Same goes with alcohol or drug addiction and it treatment. Those who have fought those battles and won are the ones I’ll listen to.
