In which I argue: Drugs are Good, actually.

This one has been a long time coming and I think it's an important thing to discuss and push for.

Fighting against the societal scourge of mental illness has been my job for a good long time, it's a fight to save lives, hearts, minds and souls and right now we are under equipped to win that fight.

I plan on making a further exploration of Medication Hesitancy in the future, because its a big problem on the internet and in society as a whole, but meds are an important part of mental health treatment and the search for more effective ones is a cause worthy of attention.

MDMA and Shrooms may be the best way to move mental health treatment forward.

As always I hope you enjoy the video and look forward to reading your comments and perspectives!

Stay Beautiful people!
