[Thank You] Some years agoβ€”never mind how long preciselyβ€”having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.

Thank you u/artdavinci for the caricatures of Paisley and Callie! I love your attention to detail. You got each of their spots just right <3 I honestly almost cried I love it so much. I think I'm going to get a frame for it <3

Thank you u/libertyprogrammer for the card with the daruma stickers! I do love these little guys! I hate not using stickers so I'm super torn between keeping them as is and sticking them to something. I'll hang on to them for now though until I decide haha. They are hanging out with the daruma card you sent me on my desk at work :) I'll listen to your song suggestion!

Thank you u/ntww12 for the Goofy postcard with the elephant stamp! I love your little username stamp :)

Thank you u/shadesoflanternhill for the whale postcard! I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation! I've never heard of Half Moon Bay! The card looks a little beat up by the postal system haha

Thank you u/StephanieTay x3 for the animal postcards! My favorite is the tiger with the super large stamp! :D

Thank you u/bamagg for the random act of cow! She looks like she's saying "Whaaaat?"

Thank you u/peglegmegxx for the silly joke postcard! Dad jokes are my favorite <3

Thank you u/nutriyum for the hedgehog card! I did not know their babies are called hoglets! How cute! I wonder why they are only illegal to have as pets in Pennsylvania

Realistically, and based on the evidence, what do you think the real world, society wide repercussions of legalisation could be?

I'm referring to psychedelics being legalised as prescription medications, administered in professional settings, like how studies are performed now.

One of the major findings was that psychedelics could improve the personality trait openness, which could potentially allow us to have more of an open mind. Im sure this would have political repercussions for example, but Im not sure as to what. I think less close mindedness would overall be a good thing! I think there's also the potential for improved empathy, which could lead to a more trusting and compassionate world. The increased creativity related to openness might also be beneficial for inventions.

What are your thoughts?
