Long-term negative effects?

[tpetrina]

You mean more or less severe than long-term negative effects of sugar or alchocol? And there is greater stigma for non-drinkers than for drinkers in our societies so go figure...

i am honestly slightly worried that in certain social circles, things will get to the point where not taking psychedelics carries a stigma.

i am guessing this is already the case in certain subcultures but I think there is a chance it could reach the mainstream in blue coastal cities.

I have friends that believe there is a moral obligation to take psychedelics to expand the mind and increase empathy. That’s a little extreme for me, though.

No, I don't.

As a relatively boring person, mucking about with the body chemistry is not preferred.

If the doctor says so, OK.
