If someone homeless or otherwise destitute recognize that “learn to code” is likey not the best option, and is extraordinarily difficult until you solve the homeless/destitute problem. A mental state of terror and exhaustion is not the right time to learn a complex skill.

This makes sense. Admittedly, I was mostly referring to addiction issues but obviously that’s a blanket statement even in and of itself. I wonder what the effects of psychedelic treatments on people with psychosis are. Def bad idea but is there documentation of what happens?
-
from memory, there is significant risk factor in young people with genetic predisposition for schizophrenia. a psychedelic trip might trigger a psychotic break. the peak risk demographic there is 15-30 years old with a direct genetic relation with schizophrenia.
-
I don't recall reading about any studies of the effects of psychedelics on people with already fully developed schizophrenia or other psychoses, but I have an intuition that it's not a good idea.

We still blame homelessness on laziness. We are far away from treating anyone with anything known to help (even dignity) much less experimental pharma when we can't afford our own meds.

I don’t see the connect here. I get that we need to not blame these issues on laziness, but it’s a logical fallacy to say therefore we shouldn’t (in parallel) be trying new pharma. One problem does not beget shutting down experimentation and discovery
