Psychedelics and mental illness
I know a lot of cannabis fans (and count myself as one). Very, very few of them acknowledge that cannabis affects people inconsistently; one person&#x27;s reaction to it can be very different than others. This is inconvenient for calling it a &quot;medicine&quot; so let&#x27;s just ignore it.<p>Psychedelics are even worse. The same dose of the same drug can produce wildly vary effects in the same person depending on factors we have trouble nailing down. &quot;Set and setting&quot; and the Erowid wisdom are all very well, but they are barely enough to describe the area and edges of the therapeutic window in a general way. <i>Your</i> trip, today, is still going to be an experiment.
