It's pronounced, failed suicide.

Psilocybin is basically never included in drug tests.

Standard tests doesn't include psilocybin and it will clear the body in short time, 15 to 24 hours. Has helped me tremendously, and my GF took a trip last Friday lifting a big part of her half year worsening depression in half a day! (not major depr. but very disruptive)

It is hated by me, a spouse. Whereas we used to spoon, now we can’t without cold air blowing down my back.

To quote myself:

Though i would double check that suicide stat. There might be an asterisk in the stat for “ruled a suicide” vice just calling something a accident and moving on.

its the same road though? one is just taking a lot more notes during the process

According to the CDC, from 2019 to 2020, the suicide rate declined overall by 3%.

Why do you think suicides went down while homicides went up so drastically?

do you drink alcohol? I had no idea how much of my anxiety was stemming from the constant up and downs of daily drinking ..

Thank you for sharing, there’s so many anecdotal stories like yours with psychedelics, it’s a shame n crime for veterans to be denied at chance to try.

It’s a logical and reasonable inference to suggest that this shift relates to people being home so the opportunities for non-violent property crimes were reduced.

And while people were at home they had more time to implode into self harm or explode into harming others. This occurred more often with those that were already marginalized before Covid hit because they had fewer resources to start and got more marginalized and felts the impacts more acutely.

It's not the researchers, it's the scummy Delta-8 marketing websites that want to sell someone a bag of gummies that will simultaneously cure their depression, stop their pain, and miraculously make them lose weight despite the munchies.

(Having played with it a bit, it definitely did ease some of my muscle soreness after a heavy leg workout, but all the other things are just marketing BS and I suspect the FDA is about to crack down on a lot of them.)

As far as crime goes it looks like it was a mix. According to data released by the FBI, the number of homicides in the U.S. rose about 30% in 2020 from the year before. There was a surge in vehicle thefts during the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, U.S. crooks purloined 880,595 cars, trucks, and SUVs, which represents a 10.9 percent increase over 2019

However, not all violent crime increased. Robberies were down and property crimes, which account for most crime in the U.S., dropped by 8% in 2020

It's a known glitch that happens with comments. I get a notification but can never see the comment unless i look on the user's profile.

I'm sorry that this is how you see it. But you've never clarified what the question is after i asked for clarification. If you can reiterate what exactly the question you want me to answer is, i will gladly try my best. I thought i was answering it but apparently i wasn't. Is it what i consider "trained" to mean? If so, then i consider training to be any education and practice that a person can get to do a certain thing. Does that answer the question?

I don't see how my anecdote is pointless as it is the paramedic's literal job to provide first aid. A person that has a first aid certification doesn't automatically become a paramedic.

I know there are some issues with this study, but I am gen curious about the effect of marijuana on blood sugars. I know my own experiences are literally just that, but my blood sugars drop when I take my medical marijuana. I have chronic pain and cPTSD and this is what works best for me. I have seen an improvement in my health since I found a good balance and treatment plan. My health is better, and part of that is not feeling crappy and depressed all the time, but it has a noticable effect in other areas. When I upped my CBD (and took it with THC) my inflammation markers lowered. I can't take NSAIDS, so if I am injured this is one thing I go to.

I don't think it cures everything, nor do I see it as a cure. It works nicely with my treatments for certain conditions and it's possible it works well in conjunction with other courses of treatment. It also doesn't mean there are no downsides. The thing is, most people who are on medication for life have to live with downsides like that all the time. Some treatments can be hard on the kidneys, liver heart, or stomach. Some cause neurological issues. Some damage is irreversible. It is all about what does the least harm for the most quality of life. That's never going to be a one size fits all solution and it shouldn't have to be one. I would love to see reliable, reproducible studies, whatever they show. I could be some werid outlier or something else could be going on. Or there could be something to it. I would really like to know more.

That's nice but I'm looking for evidence that it's a "powerful" system. Wakefulness is mostly regulated by acetylcholine. Mood is mostly regulated by serotonin, but also by norepinephrine and dopamine. Cannabinoids do not regulate homeostasis, because homeostasis is the regulatory mechanism in the body, and relies on multiple systems that interact with eachother to maintain balance.

So far, I've heard from you that cannabinoids might be inplicated in some of these systems, to an extent that I would argue is much smaller than the other systems we are aware of.

I'll repeat my question. What's the evidence that it's "powerful"? Is there any comparison to other systems and neurotransmitters required to make that assertion or are we just saying "I've heard about it doing stuff therefore it's powerful"? I realize I might be asking questions a little bit above the level of a reddit forum. The point I'm trying to make here is that the original assertion was made without any basis whatsoever.

A privately funded, non-VA study of US veterans taking place in Mexico, consented during course of normal treatment (in Mexico) with no mention of IRB review or approval, presumably from a large enough pool of US veterans in Mexico meeting the study criteria to meet statistical significance?

The data might be sound, idk, but where and how makes me suspicious.

What is CHS?

You can, but you refuse to scroll. Which is really isn't a reflection on my part to any degree.

Wow. Your while anecdote is entirely pointless to the conversation and another attempt to dodge the question I've repeated several times.

Good job showing how bad faith is all you can offer. Some might even call you a professional troll at this point. Just trolling and dodging and going on about random tangents not asked for or really valid to the discussion.

But it's cool to know you'd take the paramedic away from more serious issues to tend to your first aid despite someone else being there to help. It's really telling and helpful to explain why you refuse to answer the question.

So only having a state license makes you a professional? Interesting theory. So what state license do basketball players get to make them professionals? What about wood workers? Do authors need state licenses to be considered professionals?

The endocannabinoid system regulates homeostasis. Things like sleep, appetite, stress, mood, the ECS keeps us in balance with our own naturally produced cannabinoids. The ECS is arguably one of the most important system in the body. Phytocannabinoids do what our own do, differently and sometimes better.

When you abuse cannabis, your body down regulates it's own cannabinoid production, and relies on the phytocannabinoids instead. This is "tolerance" and "withdrawal".

Yes. I would use it recreationally by ingestion if you enjoy it. Otherwise let the hype play out
