Kyrsten Sinema Is Ready for Her MAHA Turn
In a new interview, the one-time Democrat says the movement for psychedelic medicine should capitalize on the Trump administration.

"Her drug of choice? Ibogaine, a psychedelic derived from an African shrub, and which she went down to Mexico to try for herself. She and other advocates want ibogaine studied in state-funded clinical trials and eventually hope to win Food and Drug Administration approval of the drug as a mental health treatment.
And she thinks now is their chance with President Donald Trump in office...."
"In a conservative’s brain, psychedelics are not a drug. They are a medicine. In the old-school left psychedelic movement, they’re seen as a drug. That drug has healing properties, but it also has other properties that they celebrate that are not just medicine."

Rick Perry is tripping balls
Rick Perry is tripping balls now? We are really in bizarro world:
“We are in this magical, unique time,” Sinema said of Trump’s health department, led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime believer in psychedelics’ potential to help people, particularly veterans, with illnesses like post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
Sinema was making her remarks earlier this month before roughly 200 attendees at a conference of Americans for Ibogaine, a group co-founded by Rick Perry, the former Texas GOP governor who has made psychedelic medicine advocacy his life’s work after leaving government."

good doc on a Navy Seal team and their journey to Ibogaine and 5-Meo-dmt via the toad medicine.
Ibogaine isn't really in the same class as psychedelics, but it is known in the plant medicine communities as THE addiction-buster. I've had some wonderful and very informative conversations with folks who have gone through Ibogaine treatment. it is a touchy substance, though. it can drastically drop your heart rate and blood pressure. People going through treatment constantly have both monitored, day and night, so beware. 5 days of treatment and most people stop their drug addictions .....without withdrawals. It's pretty amazing medicine.
I'd like to introduce Rick Perry to ayahuasca. 3 ceremonies with me and he'll be voting for Bernie....lol

People are, if anything, highly unpredictable. Labels are for fools. I've had Trumpers scorn me for growing weed, just before they drink ayahuasca...lol.
