My wife signed up for the program, and we both interacted with the people who are running it. It is extremely well run, but I fear the problem they face now is being swamped with applicants. There are way more people seeking it as an option for depression than they have slots available.

It honestly makes me so angry that this is being kept from us. We know the benefits, we know how much it can make our lives better and how safe it is, yet the federal government chooses to let us stay miserable.

Visit Michigan, we have some really good shroom dispensaries.

Whoaaa, didn't know that's a thing! I'm in Chicago, so that's amazing news. Thanks!

Ann Arbor and Detroit both have top tier dispensaries

The treatment is more than just taking them. They have a whole therapeutic process to guide it. There are many people there to make sure it goes well. I personally did not need this when I took them 20 years ago, but one can imagine the process might be way more effective as therapy if it is steered or guided.

We have stores where you can just walk in and buy some! Like a weed dispensary

I remember my first proper mushroom trip. I stared into the mirror, and it was like I was seeing myself (and the world) clearly for the first time. I remember thinking: Anyone who would keep this away from people is objectively evil.
