Dude neuroscience departments at pharma companies have been dropping like flies precisely because they are so fucking bad at finding new effective drugs for mental illness. Old shit like Prozac and Adderall doesn't do much for them financially, but most new psych drug clinical trials fail.

There's no conspiracy there, and in fact the absolute rot that pervades most of academic science is just as culpable for the incompetence part as the psychiatry side. I'm pretty sure drug companies would love to be less incompetent at making psych drugs.

And as far as therapists making money - well demand way outstrips supply and most people do combination treatment with drugs and therapy. So no shrooms would not make therapists go out of business, unless you've been deluded into thinking that's a magical cure for all mental illness (and if you really think it can cure all psychotic illnesses I have a bridge to sell you).

I don't think shrooms should be illegal but a lot of politics surrounding drug prohibition that have jack shit to do with the "mental health industrial complex". By the way therapist is generally not a very well paying job.
