I admire your perseverance. Fare thee well, fellow traveler on Spaceship Earth.

And get some cookies from Sunny Farms

One recommendation I have is to keep your shoes on. There was a lot of sand, and it wasn’t that cold, so i did it in bare feet. Problem was that it was cold enough to not feel the bruising on my feet from rocks until later.

Yes, in 2013. There was a guest lighthouse keeper there for a week at a time. There was a small museum inside and perhaps a gift shop. I really enjoyed it, but who knows how much has changed in these 10 years. Shocking to me in this moment that ten years have passed.

I really think it’s different. You didn’t have 10 different hands, patents, and other IP in every nug of week quite like the pockets funding the studies and therapy schemes for every proprietary pill formulation. You bought it and you took it home. I’m not convinced that those interested and well-funded parties will be so quick to relinquish control and NPV of those investments once the money starts flowing. Likely, they will use their capital to extend their protections through rent-seeking regulation. Is it better than nothing? Sure. But decrim is far better.

Oh no, a downvote, but can’t show me where I’m wrong.

I think the Oregon proposal is two therapists. My non-psychedelic therapist bills $180 an hour, so we’ll use that. $180 x 2 = $360/hr x 6+ hour trip = $2160. Lets really shoot lowball for preparation and post integration at 2 hours each for one therapist. 4 x 180 = $720. 2160 + 720 = $2880 per session, with 2-3 sessions needed. $5760 to $8640. That’s probably very low end.

That’s not even counting the logistics, security, and dispensing of the dose to the patient. Mass commercial production really wouldn’t make financial sense unless there was some sort of novel patent on a compounded formulation, say psilocybin and a mild sedative or anti-nauseal, which would come with its own Pharma-branded price tag. Total Customer Lifetime Value is low since they’ll likely not do multiple multi-session series, so price that accordingly. $100 a session is probably insanely low, so now you’re $6000-9000 deep. Add in overhead, insurance costs, etc. We’ll lowball that too, at 10% markup… $6600 to 9900.

Build that out with a whole scheme of credentialing, training programs, state regulation burden, etc. It’s not hard to imagine the dollar signs flashing in the mind’s eye of investors to build that out, and of course, price in their risk for this emerging market.

Compare to $4 of Uncle Ben’s rice, $10 for two bricks of coco coir, a $3 plastic tub, and a $15 syringe of spores/culture. $33 will get you 2-3 flushes per tub, with enough coir and spores to run 4-5 crops to heal your entire extended family many times over.

Regulatory capture is absolutely INSANE for something you can grow in your closet, which is impossible to overdose, rapidly creates immunity/tolerance, and is anti-addictive. Absolutely batshit crazy.

Anything short of full decriminalization is regulatory capture for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. If it’s highly (and needlessly) regulated, only those who can afford >$1000 a session could access.

I bought some brown Doc Martens in an oxford shoe style for work. A little unconventional, but I liked that the look worked for work with slacks and could also go with other things too.

Yés. Í háve.

Do I tell that to the guns in my gun safe, or did you think that I’m not a combat vet, hunter, and gun owner who is tired of this far right pissant PaTrIoT bullshit? Talk is cheap.

These rural backwaters are a breeding ground for lawlessness. If you don’t like the laws here, feel free to leave.

If you don’t like the laws in this country, you can leave.
