So many serotonergic psychedelics have been in vitro and in vivo proven to be neutriogenic. We could develop drugs that do that physical benefits without any psychological "side effects" but oops, DRUG WAR! All of those chemicals are forever forbidden and if you make anything that even looks structurally the same as any of those big no no drugs, well those are just the same. Idk what indiananol rungs are but straight to jail. Take your Prozac. Oh that didn't work? Take your wellbutrin. Oh that didn't work? Take your zoloft. That didn't work? Well we have enough random ssris that we don't fully understand that well just keep giving you different ones until you're numb enough to shut the fuck up and go to work.

shut the fuck up and go to work

That really is all it boils down to for most of the world. Even to people who think they care about you, they don't really want to know "how's it going" unless the answer is "good'n'you?"

Just stop being so sad it's all in your head Just get up and go to work/school/that thing, I don't know why that's so hard Other people have it worse

Sit down, do what you're told and be a good little drone and maybe after 50 years you might be allowed to sit in a small room where no one visits you until you die.

Psychedelics also foster creativity and imagination, which trauma inhibits. The greater the trauma (say, from climate change, genocide, mass shootings, etc), the less one's ability to imagine a better world, and thus the less one's ability to create it.

This is why the Republican strategy seems to just be "random terror and cruelty" and why the revolutionary period of the 60's and 70's were the direct result of the creation of LSD.
