Keep it banned. Make those pigs suffer.

While that is a understandable sentiment much more people than just veterans suffer from PTSD. A useable cure would help many people from refugees and people fleeing war zones to survivors of natural disasters.

Im also pretty sure i read something like 12 years ago about ibogaine showing a lot of promise in helping end alcohol and opiate addictions (but i mean i could believe that about any hallucinogen and i think it kinda depends on how the trip goes)

I can say nothing on the effectivness of the drug. I just thought its worth to point out a lot of people (besides veterans) would profit from it if such a drug would work out.

I've heard about it stopping withdrawal completely, unlike normal psychedelics

The experience is really intense, it's like going through withdrawals in one night instead of dragging it out. The discomfort is so much that it also kind of helps create a negative association with the substance which makes relapsing less likely

It's not fun at all, it really is just a last resort for people in immense trouble that need something to break them out of whatever is going on. I don't know about how it affects people with PTSD but for substance abuse it's a really hard experience to go through

Vets are not the pigs. The pigs are the politicians who send young people to murder and be murdered to keep themselves elected.

Vets are 90% people who regret their childhood decision to sign up to “protect their country.”

Those killing machines who thought of killing poor browns and blacks around the world as justified to "protect their country" deserve NO LENIENCY. Nor any USAmerican who think of them as either heroes or victims.

Yank pigs don’t get “murdered” they get killed in self-defense after they signed up to go kill people
