    This article will for sure leave some cancer patients feeling disappointed after tripping. I tried acid when I was 19 - everything I read told me it was going to be a life changing, eye opening, personality upgrading experience. Turns out it wasn’t, and I definitely felt a bit let down. Personally, I don’t think telling cancer patients shrooms will cure their depression is at all wise.

      Your experience with psychedelics at the age of 19, while your brain was still developing, has no relevance to adults suffering from life-long ptsd and terminal cancer getting positive side effects from the drugs.

        Sounds like someone who reads this article probably would too. Which is why it’s a dumb article.

        Is it possible to benefit? For sure.

        Will YOU, the average cancer patient, benefit for 2 years? Probabaly not.
