In 1989, a small tech company sued a government-backed consortium for allegedly stealing their research.
Standard Silicon Valley IP dispute.
One problem: the founders were also running an illegal MDMA lab in Mexico producing 20kg a month.
This is a true story 🧵
@ai_rohitt JUST?
Bro, this presentation was 1 YEAR AGO:

If you're going to steal and re-post content from the @AnthropicAI YouTube channel at least have some decency to NOT lie about release date and include link to the original source like a decent person 🙄
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Joint Task Force Southern Spear took out another drug boat today.
The fish are going to start to OD.
Every substance is a mirror 🪞
Psychedelics show you you’re not your ego.
Alcohol & cocaine convince you you are your ego.
That’s the difference between medicine & poison.
Psychedelics don’t replace the work... they reveal where the real work begins.
Yes, they can show you the summit.
But they also drop your walls, dismantle your ego armor, and hand you the mirror most people spend their lives avoiding.
Integration is the gym.
The trip is the wake-up call.
I mean @KevinSabet is sort of correct about Trump buying Joe rogans audience due to dwindling support on the Iran war as I mentioned in the attached thread below.
However his claim about how drug policy should be shaped by science if fallacious.
U.S drug policy is 50 years late and haven't even allowed scientific research despite the drug war starting as a result of racism 🤷🏼♂️
Joe Rogan texted Trump about psychedelics.
Trump replied: "Sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it."
56 years of psychedelic prohibition started to unravel with a text message.
Here's what actually happened 🧵
Former Obama/Bush drug policy advisor @KevinSabet calls out Trump for listening to @joerogan on psychedelics bc of his desperation to re-court independent voters that got him elected.
I pushed back, pointing out other advocates have been pushing this for years & @Drug_Researcher argues it's healthy to come together on some issues despite disagreement on others (Iran war).
Full 1-hour debate:

Tiffany Farchione, the director of @FDA's psychiatry division said psychedelics are already ~1/3 of their workload, reviewers are genuinely excited by the data, and the results look “categorically different” from past psych drugs.
But she also kept stressing: we still need raw safety + efficacy data.
A few notable points from the interview:
- FDA sees the biggest promise in rapid, lasting effects after only 1–few doses.
- They’re requiring intense monitoring during sessions because patients are vulnerable/impaired for hours.
- Some phase 3 trials are already completed or close.
- FDA has already granted breakthrough therapy designations to multiple psychedelic treatments.
- Even if approved, rollout will be slow because this is a completely different treatment model than “take a pill at home”
Her overall message was basically: “We’re excited too. But trust and verify.”
In other words, I've never been more bullish about psychedelics! 🍄📈🥳

Donald Trump’s most consequential psychedelics policy yet is linked to a drug that’s received little scientific investigation, largely thanks to Bryan Hubbard, an ibogaine advocate who believes that his mission is divine, Shayla Love reports. https://t.co/CU0dRgRW8O
@deadbullcigar Correction:
5-MeO-DMT is the single most powerful NATURALLY OCCURRING psychedelic / entheogen on planet earth.
LSD is considerably more powerful otherwise.
Clavicular explains why psychedelics are “not worth it” after trying acid
“I took it one time like about a month ago and it was the worst thing ever. Psychedelics are one of those leftist drug selections that really just are mind boggling.”
“It made me giga paranoid. I had to lay down in the back of my car for like 8 hours because I was super anxious. It was like the worst experience of my life. LSD is not good at all. It can really rewire your brain and make you a completely different person in terms of your motivation.”
“I just did it for some of the neuroplasticity benefits and I thought it was like ‘oh I’m really smart, I’m gonna take LSD’ but not worth it.”
Western science is definitely paying attention, and currently with the recent Trump executive order, the west is on track to committing bio-piracy by colonizing indigenous medicines like iboga/ibogaine without even considering the roots.
I vented about it here:
