Psychedelic substances (lemmy.world)

There is a testing clinic near me that deal with treating depression using psychedelic substances. I'm wondering if any of you have tried something similar, referring to psychedelic substances, and if so, how did it go? In the past, I occasionally experimented with cannabis, but over time, it didn't sit well with me anymore. Does anyone have such experiences?

Well, I've never done it in a professional setting.

But anecdotally I've gotten relief from recreational use.

Interesting. If you don't mind, could you please share more?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I can try. Do you have any specific questions?

[–] tomsh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nothing special. I wonder if it can be life-changing or just relieving, and in what ways.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I would consider it life changing, yes.
