OK, fine, I’ll be the skunk at this picnic.

1) VADM Perry (US O9/NATO OF-8) is a submarine officer. Why, in the middle of the day in his office in Norfolk is he receiving a high profile guest while wearing <checks notes> a flight suit?

2) His guest, the First Sea Lord (US O10/NATO OF-9), is not only his guest, he is of higher rank and is wearing the equivalent of working khaki uniform.

3) This <series of incredibly disrespectful words> habit of finding the lowest acceptable work attire and going two steps below this is, at best insultingly patronizing, at worst lazy.

4) I’m sorry, but this is, in a word, unacceptable.

I've used five different psychedelics for depression over the last decade. Here's what each one actually feels like:

DMT
What the fuck. Being human is something special and inexplicable. Hyperspace feels like home but looks like an alien spaceship.
↳ Relief lasts 4-6 weeks. Integration is the real work.

Psilocybin
My problems are kinda silly. Being alive is beautiful. The world we experience is magic.
↳ Relief lasts 4-12 weeks, longer with integration.

LSD
Like a mushroom trip but you want to go DO things. Acid outside with your friends makes you feel like a kid on a field trip.
↳ Relief comparable to psilocybin. Best for people who want to move, not sit.

Ketamine (a dissociative)
I'm a meat robot. Way less thinking. Depression isn't treated consciously -- it just lifts.
↳ Relief lasts 2-4 weeks. Less durable than classic psychedelics.

Ayahuasca
I don't hate myself. I love myself. Shamans are magicians and plants are healers.
↳ Ended my suicidal ideation. Permanently. Symptoms gone for months.

---

These substances work.
That is not the problem.

The problem is preparation and integration.

Psychedelic healing requires a container our culture doesn't have.
So you have to build it yourself.

---

I've dealt with depression for over a decade.

The most transformative experiences weren't the highest doses or the most exotic compounds.

They were the ones I prepared for.

Where I trusted the people I was with.
Understood what I was taking.
And had a space where nothing could pull me out.

---

I've sat with close friends, family, partners, shamans, strangers, and alone.

The substance mattered less than the preparation.
Every single time.

---

I don't know where I'd be without these experiences.
I know where I was headed.

If you're in that place -- this works.

It's not easy.
It's not casual.
And no one's going to hand it to you.

But it saved my life.

Do the research.
