Reply to Where are the queer bars/places? by ravenclaw188

The queer scene sucks. There are orgs trying to create events and opportunities for queer people to gather though so the hope is that it’s on the up and up!

Instagrams to follow events:

  • @sapphicnightss if you are femme/Nb
  • @lgbtqnightlifeevents
  • @gaymafiaboston does queer events at legacy (serve Thursdays has drag queens)

Other places

  • Dbar in Dorchester
  • Dorchester brewing co
  • midway cafe in JP
  • alley bar
  • Jacques (drag shows @8pm and 10pm)

There’s plenty of queer people but Boston is not as supportive as it likes to think it is. Sorry you got downvoted for asking

There’s a lack of research on psychedelics and mental illness, and even less understanding of their interactions with drugs like SSRIs etc.

But there’s a vested interested in psych use to improve mental health, thus how do you provide advice while also being cautious of the potential for aggravation of any mental illness? Or do you caution against trying them at all?

I have dabbled in the mixing of psychs with SSRIs, more for curiosity, and haven’t had issues. I was lucky to have experienced friends that offered what they knew, but it’s still always a gamble.
