Re the TrkB story: did they study Wellbutrin at all? Virtually all of the stories I see on anti depressants focus only on SSRIs. Wellbutrin is a whole other thing, and I wish there were more studies/articles dealing with it. I don't understand why it is regularly ignored.

Regarding the mention of "spiritual, existential, religious, and theological ('SERT') experiences in psychedelic therapy":

It is truly scary and extraordinarily shocking to me how so many of the major figures in the psychedelic movement now have admitted that they believe in "life after death", that think they will live forever because their consciousness and identity will still continue after their body dies. Raised as Christians, many of these people are quite old and perhaps even suffering from more than a little dementia. Truly scary how many people are using psilocybin mushrooms to greatly amplify their horrible Christian delusions. (Instead of using psychedelics to help CURE people of their undeniably ugly and violent Christian beliefs, it seems many of these Christian predators who have descended on the psychedelic community are shamelessly using psychedelics to actually promote Jesus and idiotic Christian pie-in-the-sky lies like that there is life after death. Multiple photos of attractive young Christian women wearing a necklaces with gold crosses, talking about "entheogens" and doing VERY expensive "psychedelic-assisted therapy". Multiple articles insisting that a person literally cannot do "psychedelic-assisted therapy" unless they bring Jesus into the session, because our culture is a Christian culture. Like the democrats say, and like the republicans say, and like it says on the money in your wallet--"In God We Trust"...[sound of me vomiting.])
