    Buddy, any plant / mushroom that works, will be made into a pill. That’s one thing big pharma is really good at, it’s exploiting what works in nature and going “we did that!”

    Big pharma conspiracy theory, which I don’t know how controversial it is, is that they keep finding excuses to pump people full of pills. Slight headache? Pill! Overweight? Pill. Depressed? Pill.

    Anything and everything, where step one should be diet / lifestyle, is immediately funneled to pills.

      Big pharma conspiracy theory

      I always feel the need to specify having studied pharmacy: it’s the business side with the MBAs who try to do that shit. The science side is like “oh neat,” and these assholes are like “make it make money!”
