Article is a little goofy as it focuses on treating depression. Treating depression with chemicals such as psychedelics assumes that depression is a chemical imbalance. Maybe sometimes it is, but many times depression is just a reasonable reaction to a realistically depressing situation. Psychedelics aren’t magically going to fix a realistically depressing situation. Psychedelics can help some people face the sometimes uncomfortable truth about themselves, and inspire them to improve their behavior. Then the improved behavior can improve their situation so that it’s less depressing.
God put the medicine in the plants and foods.
