In all that crazy, there's, shockingly, two good points:

  1. Psychedelics. There's at least anecdotal evidence they're good for treating certain traumas / PTSD. So, yeah, we should be looking into their medicinal applications. But is it the FDA or the DEA that's cockblocking those?

  2. Stem cells. Abso-fucking-lutely yes. But wasn't it the "pro life" people holding that up?
