KHON2-TV ^ | August 29, 2023

HONOLULU — The state is looking into the safe use of breakthrough therapies which include the use of psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms.

The state has created the “breakthrough therapies task force” made of up mental health professionals, physicians, lawmakers, and government leaders.

Their job is to help the state expand therapeutic access to two substances — psilocybin and MDMA.

The state says research shows both have been effective in treating ptsd, addiction, and depression.

After skimming the side effects of mushroom therapy, I can only think the government and the medical organizations are colluding to make us a nation of paranoids. There seems to be no long-term studies, so how is this even being considered as a treatment for anything?

Another experiment using (desperate) Americans as Guinea pigs. Shameful.

The Covid vaccines were given to billions without long term testing.
Why start following protocols now?

Substances like marijuana and mushrooms open the creative/spiritual portals of man, only scaring those who have disconnected themselves from such. Once the fear is gone, they see themselves as they are - infinite and divine made in the Image of God Almighty.

You won’t get that with Bud Light or any alcohol.

Your children’s children will finally understand.

Interesting place for the roll out. Expecting a bunch of newly Post Traumatic Stressed Democrats there? When they stop ignoring how all the “missing” could have gotten away for a small, isolated, government blockaded community, stop bantering about human carbon releases and start looking for the carbonized humans they hadn’t released they’re going to need drugs to keep them voting, rather than lynching, Democrats. Throwing folks into live volcanos arguably neither being “unusual” there nor “cruel” by historical standards, perhaps that could be updated for modern times. Releasing the guilty from drones onto lava flows, with press drones for documentation, might appease some spirits.

That’s just the ticket for the families of those who died needlessly in Maui a couple of weeks ago.

In one of Woody Allen’s early films (can’t recall which one) a flashback of one of his early classrooms featured a kids who,in deadpan mode,stated “I used to be a heroin addict.Now I’m a methadone addict”.

The therapy is independence. Legality of MDMA will attract more haloes tourism and immigration. Not good for them.

Oh, goodie! A Demonicrat program to get young Americans hooked on hallucinogens, so they’ll buy their cr*p agenda.
