Are free-will and self-control mutually incompatible?

Some people don't heal. Some people disintegrate. Some people commit suicide.

yes a very small minority of psychedelic users in modern society dont make it through unscathed

but this is the exception

psychedelics are remarkably safe

Have you ever been sectioned? Have you ever been subjected to ECT?

no thank God

but i did go totally crazy, i got my arse well and truly kicked by mushrooms

 

[fractionMan]

if you are talking about long term psychiatric disintegration, you will find that psychedelics do not cause this

the insanity of psychedelics is temporary

it helps people get over psychosis far more than it causes it

If by temporary you mean 'lasting days, weeks, years, possibly forever' then yes. If by 'helping people get over psychosis' you mean 'often makes it worse' then I'd agree with you.

You have a limited worldview that only encompasses your own direct experiences and dismisses the experience of others. You spout dangerous bullshit to those who are vulnerable. Basically, you're full of shit max.

poor fools!!!!

i was like that once

psychedelics will kick your arse if you approach them with a cavalier attitude

You are a proper bellend, really.

I somehow think your idea of 'totally crazy' is entirely different to mine.

Which is:

the paranoia of the schizophrenic:

In loose cognition, you feel not only dangerously unrestrained; you feel frightfully imaginative and creative - inability to contain one's crazily imaginative and creative thoughts and mental forces ie will -- will imagination break the will and result in disaster? not only crazily unrestrained, but crazily imaginative and ideationally/cognitively creative. can create entirely new types of cognitive structures/constructions; can create radically innovative mental constructs

an uncontrollably insane imagination

You are clueless and should have a permanent public health warning as your tag-line.

You are such a rebel.

No. It's just another advertisement for your cult.

 

[i-am-your-idea]

everything you have ever heard about magic and religion is true of psychedelics.
