“Therapy” is the biggest legal scam in the US.

Feeling depressed? Here have whatever chemical psychologists happen to be playing with today! Take some mushrooms, no wait, exercise, no wait, take this, no wait that doesn’t work and is dangerous so take this instead.

“Prior to founding Compass, George Goldsmith and Ekaterina Malievskaia, a married couple, did not have experience in psilocybin research or working in the pharmaceutical industry. They’ve made headway thanks to tens of millions in dollars from investors including Silicon Valley libertarian Peter Thiel and former Wall Street-executive-turnedcryptocurrency-investor Mike Novogratz,”

Can’t wait until they get into the chiropractic and homoepathic industries too.

Queue every pot smoker to tell me psyilocybin is a wonder drug and every square that it’s the end of civilization.

Thank for your work, dang. Long-form personal opinions seem to be better suited on Medium, Twitter, other social media.

TGIF! :D

The ones that aren't unsubstantive or flamey are welcome here.
