    As someone with schizophrenia, I can say that the west demonizing psychedelics (shrooms and DMT specifically) has probably set back the treatment of schizophrenia really hardcore. There is a very heavy DMT presence in schizophrenia. I don't know what role is plays exactly, but it is clear as day that DMT is partially responsible for the visuals. And people around me say I pretty much always act like I'm on shrooms. Psychedelic trials are essential to ever getting good schizophrenia treatment.

    Also, the coca leaf was a lot like this before the west came in. Chewing a coca leaf doesn't get you super high, it's like a slightly harder cup of coffee, not even particularly addictive when treated right. America literally ruined every common plant medicine. Even starting to fight kratom even though kratom is essential for alleviating the fentanyl crisis in the nation. The US wants criminals, not functioning people

        If leaf was available to me, I'd never touch caffeine. I don't react well to caffeine, but find low dose nicotine or cocaine to be insultingly effective. I can't really handle doing coke recreationally, it's just too much on my body. But it was the stim that hit me the way stims are supposed to hit people with ADHD. So the few times I've gotten actual leaf, it's been an amazing few days of functional medication.

        Coca isn't addictive until it's extracted out of the plant. One line of coke is probably like taking 10+ leafs at the exact same time in a way that's far faster than chewing.
