ive felt psychedelics have definitely gone more mainstream. tons of psychedelic youtube channels are popping up like vegan channels. also i love jordan petersons perspective on things.

example: the front page of reddit has an article about "mushrooms being the safest" psychedelic.
its going towards the mainstream whether we like it or not. the shitty part is....you know what the mainstream does to anything it encounters......its exaggerates it to the point of becoming just another cultural cliche. hopefully the psychedelic community can keep itself together enough to act as one voice for it so if a cliche does form, its not a fucked one.

i cant imagine the value of the visions will ever become something cliche. thats one of the most important parts because its pretty much has infinite forms and is masterfully complex. many times when i smoke dmt i get excited because i feel like i have won the lottery because am in all these worlds and images that in the moment i feel like i can grab and just pull that world into this one through art. when im out i realize it will take more work than i originally assumed at that moment

Are psychedelics about to become mainstream?
No
there is more population, and more media and more chaos hence some more psychedelic use, and more publicity but percentage wise I doubt it
and besides
people have been smoking grass in india forever and it's not a very liberated or pleasant or functional place.

well, you aren't the mainstream, and can think beyond a generalized notion.
its not so much the idea that the mainstream/media turns into a cliche, its the movement and the people that push its agenda.
Quote:
and it's not a very liberated or pleasant or functional place.
the argument wasn't whether or not the psychedelics had an influence on the culture. the argument was merely if they were becoming more mainstream/accepted.

I don't know though, psychedelics have always had a higher than average amount of acceptance among college professors. I'll start being happy once mainstream news websites and not just progressive websites like Alternet start treating psychedelics like weed and criticize politicians who support prohibition.

What about the research MAPS is doing?
They're heading into the final Phase of studies for MDMA for ptsd and their protocols have been accepted by the FDA. They estimate that MDMA will be a legal treatment for PTSD by 2021. That will surely get the ball rolling.
Not to mention legalizing marijuana, which couldn't take much longer. I know Sessions hates marijuana. But he changed his stance after Trump got into office.
As long as Trump holds to his promise that Marijuana legalization should be left to the states to decide, I think we got a good few years ahead for us. Of course he could be full of shit.
I still see a positive future for marijuana/psychedelics. More research on psychedelics is happening now than ever before. And the monopoly on the supply of marijuana that is held by the National Institute on Drug Abuse has ended (according to Rick Doblin of MAPS). So that means thats research into the positive benefits of Cannabis can FINALLY be explored fully.
Trump also said that he thinks Medical marijuana should be legal across the country.
Meh. I think we're good. Trump is also trying to lower regulations for approval of medications.

its all about the youtube and maybe reddit. looks like sites like shroomery and dmtnexus are out the door in popularity. i think the shroomery is still pretty obscure.

Was the Shroomery ever big? I always thought this place catered for an extremely particular audience.
