Tim Robbins turns to ayahuasca after feeling 'consumed by anger' over cancel culture

The "Shawshank Redemption" star said he turned to the Amazonian psychedelic brew with one goal in mind — to stop being "consumed" by outrage over what he sees as the unraveling of modern society.

Robbins said his psychedelic experience was an intense spiritual journey that included what he described as an encounter with his late mother.

"What she said was, 'You're injured. You're a warrior, and you're injured and you need to rest, but the fight's not over,'" Robbins recalled.

"I was battling my frustration with the dissolution of society, people being angry at each other over ridiculous things, long friendships being affected, people being canceled for expressing their opinion, all this stuff," he said. "And I wanted out. I wanted to be absolved of that. I didn't want to be engaged in it."

Sounds like yet another flake who has self hatred of his own Western culture and religion so turns to pagans and their dope for solace.

I bet if he had met his father instead of his mother he would've said "Son, problem is you're an a**hole."

They are still doing the tune in, drop out nonsense? At least he’s not in your face obnoxious like many celebs.

“Tim Robbins turns to ayahuasca after feeling ‘consumed by anger’ over cancel culture”. Take your medication as prescribed Tim.

Well, it would have been better if Tim turned to Jesus, but the ultimate goal was for him to drop all the anger—if drinking the “Strange Brew” did the trick, then that’s perhaps a good think. We used to be able to have different opinions and want to knock each other off for those opinions......

Robbins also spoke about the hot-button issue, arguing that cancel culture bears striking similarities to tactics used under the former Soviet Union.

So sick of these retards

Have spent their lives destroying tradition, and promoting wokeism, socialism, and big government

They they complain when they see "culture wars" and the Soviet Union descending upon them.

What a stupid ass.

Maybe he needs drugs because he's a buffoon and lowlife of Biblical proportions.

Do people remember this fool and his slut wife spouting nonsense about a “child wind blowing” when he was accusing W Bush about silencing speech post 9/11? And actually it is the ideology he has followed his entire life that is silencing and canceling people?

Disengaging from societal problems doesn’t require taking dangerous drugs.

These people have to reconcile their previous OCD hatred of GW Bush with their OCD hatred of Trump now that GW Bush has aligned with Obama who they worship. No wonder they need hallucinogens.

I never like to read these articles. I like the guy’s acting roles. I don’t really want to know what he thinks about anything.

I am not dismissing the psychedelic drug stuff. There have been reports of that stuff helping people with PTSD and Addiction. If it’s taken as a therapy there have been good results.

“Recreational” use is usually as effective as cocktail or joint.

Giving your time to help hurting people is a much better thing to do that taking Amazon drugs.

The trouble is when one mates with a maximum crazy leftist like Susan Sarandon along with being similarly crazy yourself things are going to go sideways. IIRC there was some issue of cancelation with one of their mothers since she was somewhat conservative. This was years ago now but I think it was posted here on FR.
