What is something that isn't psychedelic but feels psychedelic to you?

[ismail el ali @sage_izzy]

@allisonwilens ...which is dessert

[ismail el ali @sage_izzy]

@trpwolff @Kgreenstien There are lots of tests and substance analysis methods out there, some more precise than others. @aKosmicare at Boom festival in Portugal and increasingly @DanceSafe in the US have sensitive enough machinery to be pretty damn close to sure what's in product sold underground.

[ismail el ali @sage_izzy]

@Kgreenstien Oop you're right about that being codes not guidance.

I don't think that the current language means nothing... but do agree that more specificity is usually a good thing and naming crisis risk could be helpful as well

[ismail el ali @sage_izzy]

@Kgreenstien In other words, while there's plenty to analyze and critique about the guidance, the line you highlighted is v reasonable to include as a note about the molecule not just about the modality

[ismail el ali @sage_izzy]

@Kgreenstien Sure it's possible, especially if one is under the impression that they're there to treat PTSD or something related. My point is just that it is a phenomenon that can also happen with MDMA alone in a variety of settings including the above + alone at home, regardless of prompts.

It was a phenomenal conversation with @drcarlhart @sage_izzy when it comes to imagining a future of bodily autonomy and liberty. Summary: Language matters and “harm reduction” sets a tone. Perhaps risk reduction as a preferred term within clinical spaces? #ps2023 #policy #drugs #socialworktwitter
