I qualified for financial help with one of those places that advertise on social media (Joyous, if you know it), and I've got enough to buy myself the first month of pills.

Curious as to if anyone has had experience with it. On paper it sounds like it would be great for me, but my ma is scared of it cause apparently there are horror stories going around in the news. Way I figure it, if it doesn't help, at least I get drugs.

Yea I didn't want to call it medical malpractice cause I have no medical qualifications

I don't either but I called it out as sounding like a grift operation to me. I gotta admit I glossed over the vast difference between my testimony and the idea of taking ketamine regularly indefinitely. That's wildly inappropriate. Those aren't doctors they're capitalists with one licensed physician in the organisation rubber-stamping the process.

We have similar operations in my country for other practically benign substances. Also for weed. But this particular type of operation sounds like bad news.
