how to have a voice in Australia, be obscenely rich..

That Stephen Bright is so short sighted. The reason people die from MDMA is because contamination or dehydration. Both things that would be solved if the compound was decriminalized and regulated, advocating to keep it criminalized only ensures more and more people will die trying to experience this treatment.

There is a serious problem with this media outlook and info being put out by this video and also misleading title. MDMA keeps being repeated in tandem with the research and use of Psilocybin which is incorrect. theyre 2 completely different drugs and also used for 2 completely different mental health related things so shouldnt they be reported as such, individually? and not combined into 1 video? People are gunna get confused. For example: mentioning people dying off of the use of MDMA in festivals and then talking about psilocybin research at 4:00 this is improper reporting and shows lack of knowledge; in context with this comment: there has not been a single known reported death from psilocybin mushroom use. There is no clear differentiation between the 2 by the journalist which is my issue.

"sometimes MDMA makes people worse and we don't know why" which is exactly the same as traditional antidepressants. Not everything works for everyone.

The problem in Australia is that we have the most spineless politicians on the planet. "We don't have enough information " they say about a medicine, humans have been using since we came down from the trees. Pathetic.

i been illegally microdoseing for my mental health. saved my life! better than anti depressants etc. depression, brain fog, anxiety, my bipolar.. its gonna save alot of people.

Let adults have autonomy over their bodies and decisions. Educate and put guardrails to mitigate abuse. Why is this so controversial? Gov is like some overbearing parent. In this case the science has been clear for a long time

I think psychedelics are gonna save the world. This world we've created is driving us all crazy.

I love how they ignore thousands of years of tradition, methods and manner of predominantly safe use in some cultures in a self-righteous panic about slow-to-catch-on institutionalised Western medicine. Alcohol is legal and look at the harm it does.

People are like “MUSHROOMS ARE DRUGS NOT MEDICINE”, the proceed to take cephalosporin antibiotics, among hundreds of other medications made from mushrooms.

Shrooms changed my life for the better. I was just recreationally trying to "trip" in the forest with some friends. I had no idea what would happen. It was/is the best experience of my life, full stop! I did em when i was 18 or 19 yrs old and till this day the wisdom, compassion, love, insight, presence, and patience I came to know then still guides me in my thoughts and actions with myself and with others. From what i understand it wasn't as grand and sweeping for my friends. But i think there's something to be said about the fact that forests/woods nature has always been my happy place. And unlike my friends, I came to the experience with no forced expectations just a curious and open mind.

MDMA has been known for some time that it can cure treatment resistant PTSD in one single session. The mental health benefits of psilocybin mushrooms are also very well documented.. it's high time the rest of the world caught up to Australia, Portugal, and the work of MAPS to name but a few of the pioneers in the field.

The guy around 4 minutes is being foolish, misinformed or disingenuous. Of course, when people take it in unsupervised situations, not knowing what they're doing and not being mindful, these things can be dangerous or even lethal.. People should drink plenty when they use xtc/mdma, no other drugs, and there should be an experienced (and ideally sober) friend present to keep an eye out. Many people know this, but not everyone. Including apparently that guy. We don't know how it works? We don't know how alcohol and caffeine work either, not really . We should be mindful and careful about this, the medicine is powerful. But that guy is talking out of his donkey.

most pharmaceutical medicines have worse risks and side effects than natural drugs/ medicines. so im all for this. its about time every country did this. adults have the right to make adult decisions.

I'm from the Netherlands and it's a shame that Australia is ahead of us in this respect! Shrooms are amazing.

MDMA therapy saved my life! I originally tried mushrooms and didn’t like them but had three mdma sessions which transformed me and ceased my suicidal thoughts. I do believe psychedelics are truly a medicine given to us by nature.

LSD and DMT must be legalized

Baseless accusation that they influenced the delegate.
