Everyone is different?

Not according to the claims in this headline. Hence why I called bullshit.

This article will for sure leave some cancer patients feeling disappointed after tripping. I tried acid when I was 19 - everything I read told me it was going to be a life changing, eye opening, personality upgrading experience. Turns out it wasn't, and I definitely felt a bit let down. Personally, I don't think telling cancer patients shrooms will cure their depression is at all wise.

Sounds like you went into it with expectations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like someone who reads this article probably would too. Which is why it's a dumb article.

Is it possible to benefit? For sure.

Will YOU, the average cancer patient, benefit for 2 years? Probabaly not.
