52. This kind of research is something they should really pick up the pace on.

I think humanity is in desperate need of it. If we can find a naturally occuring, easily produced substance that can help treat depression and debilitating anxiety, it would be such a gift to the world.

Not only that, but it could possibly help with treating addictions, especially the opioid crisis and even be used to treat those with terminal illness in hospice situations to help them pass without trauma or emotional anguish.

And maybe, just maybe, it could be experimented with on brainwashed MAGAts to make them less hateful and violent! I'm serious here!

There is so much potential!
