interesting... but a bit misleading?

For what I know about the subject, psychedelic 'therapy' is not meant to be revelatory or unearthing, like to 'uncover more details' about ones' childhood, to 'understand' the reasoning of why parents acted a certain way etc., I think the documentary has been a bit misleading in these regards, and I'm surprised the therapists seem to have raised such expectations in the patients.Psychedelic drugs when used in psychotherapy often allow to find a new perspective on things, take away fear and inhibitions to confront the past or sensitive topics, and that is it what allows for new developments.Anyway, a very interesting documentary, we need to get back to explore and re-evaluate the potentials of psychedelic therapy, highly valuable research that was stopped when Nixon declared 'war on drugs'.

What we need! Get growing!!

Hats off to everyone involved. I hope John, Maggie and the kids have discovered how simple it is to cultivate mushrooms at home and they're all enjoying their lives as they should as it seemed John would benefit the most from microdosing much like myself. There's a happy person buried under the daily duvet of dread, low self astheme and the resulting in a complete lack of motivation.
