Psychedelics triggered schizophrenia in my son and he spent a year in a psychiatric institution at the age of 18. It was there that we met the parents of a young lady who had gone to NYC to pursue a career as a professional ballerina at the age of 18 and tried LSD for the first time. It triggered bi-polar disorder and she became a totally different person. Years later she still has severe mood swings, is violent and unable to live independently. Psychedelics are very dangerous if you have the genetic predisposition for major mental illness.

@@Milky_water6942 how exactly did a shrooms trip “help” you

@thomaskennedy2942 Месяц назад

Your son was already schizophrenic. The psychedelics simply brought it to the surface sooner. I'm sorry y'all are going through that. Stay strong.

@@A_Dventures18 is when schizophrenia and bipolar come out anyway. That's why you can't be diagnosed until then. Psychedelics have helped me by showing the truth in my life whether painful or otherwise. They have given me mental clarity over some subjects that have torn me apart. Depending on the psychedelic, the suffering shows you who you are.

@A_Dventures Месяц назад

@@john-sebastianmealer3193 you found yourself in a shrooms trip? Maybe people should just try to find their identity in Jesus where they truly belong instead of using psychedelic drugs. Being on a shrooms trip is not reality, and it’s putting your brain in a state it’s not meant to be in.

@bonni-suehuntley9637 Месяц назад

God bless you for sharing what God says about drugs and your own mind and warns us to what they truly do which is deceive us and not follow what Gods true words were.

The officiating message was perfect and led to an article by minister, and theologian writer Russell Moore who says no to unbelievers, and let the state officiate the wedding that the state will overall hold the couple accountable in future, because they have no church to hold them accountable. He says saying no and why is more likely to spread the Gospel than saying yes and officiating a wedding in hopes of spreading the Gospel. I personally was married in 2010 and didn’t find Jesus until 2023 (after reading Like a River actually).

Nobody brings you closer to God but yourself,you have to do the work to become closer to God ❣️🥰

I can say that psychedelics did bring me back to believing in God. LSD made me realize i had a greater purpose of helping people and that brought me back to God.

@debrathomas3925 Месяц назад

There are those that think the natural drugs ( pot, mushrooms and even LSD ) are not bad for you. But those drugs triggered my brother to be bi-polar, that then led him to self medicate both to combat the mania and the depression with cocaine and downers…. It’s an argument I have with my husband who grew up in the 60s with the hippy movement…. I say natural or not, it messes with you and can cause permanent damage. I’m fortunate that my experimenting early on, did not affect me the same.

@debrathomas3925 Месяц назад

I also witnessed the enemy trying to devour my brother, and it was only the rest of our family praying for him, did he get rescued and accepted Christ. It was scary for him, he used to go to bed with the Bible draped over him before he accepted Christ. The spiritual warfare is real….

@A_Dventures Месяц назад

People are really starting to advocate for these “natural drugs” as if they have no side effects or can cause damage. There are “natural” things that can cause serious harm to us, just because they’re natural doesn’t mean it’s positive.

Micro Dosing with help from a licensed therapist and doctor can have incredible effects for mental health. As for "connecting with your soul/God" is up to someone's own journey with god in my experience but we do know that we should do everything we can to be in control of our bodies and thoughts. Being intoxicated from any substance isn't the best idea.

Do you know Pete Hegseth book "The War on Warriors". He strikes me as someone on the same side of the street as you and yet why I continue to follow you though I am not a christian I appreciate your open heart and belief that you sincerely speak from your heart BUT cross culturally there are others who have beliefs BEFORE christianity who think differently. There are many ways to healing says my boss at a mental wellness place. And I believe and have witnessed this. But your journey through your pain that you have shared with us is right for You but is not necessarily right for everyone on earth. Pete Hegeth is a "man in a bubble" so narrow so defined on a small segment of mankind. So sure he IS THE MAN with the ANSWERS.His questions His answers. In an echo chamber.We are not all the same!

Watch the Shawn Ryan show, psychedelics help vets with PTSD

@anthonyraines5951 Месяц назад

I know people who partake in recreational drug use for that reason. But as a combat vet with PTSD I will say nothing will help them as much as a true relationship with Jesus.... Unfortunately you can't force someone to have true belief, and many of those turn to drugs and alcohol to cope

@bowed305 Месяц назад

They MAY be able to help, but they should never be taken without the supervision of a medical professional. Some folks attempt to self-medicate, and that can lead to horrible outcomes.

What if a non believer uses Psychedelics and sees Jesus, it’s happened and made a non believer a believer. Go watch the Shawn Ryan show, she’s an ex Navy seal, had PTSD, and 90% of his guest are military. He came to the lord after a professional psychedelic treatment.

I havent watched this episode yet... but im gonna go with my own opinion on this and say "No"
