NEWSNATION: Should there be a pro-psilocybin Surgeon General? SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I think that's a red herring. Let's focus on the fact that she's a great communicator.

So I don’t have a problem with funding research into psilocybin. I have a problem with ignoring science to indulge random whatever

Another Trump whiner for a position they aren't competent to handle. It's interesting that none of his nominees ever turn down the nomination because they know they can't do it.

I don’t mind a surgeon general open to psilocybin, so long as they also believe in MRNA vaccines and germ theory etc. The alt health realm has some okay concepts, it’s just when you extrapolate vibes into treatments we have a problem. Are shrooms good for PTSD? Likely. Covid? Not a fucking chance.

Ok, help me out here… since everything Trump does is a grift, what’s his grift for nominating her? I can’t figure it out

psilocybin studies have been happening since 1800’s. studied by r govt for mind control it was determined to accelerate FREE THINKING n squashed. However the use of psilocybin shows indisputable healing of brain chemistry after stroke n prevention of alzheimer’s. its use is accepted in many states

just to be clear, this chick n rfk jr are dangerous to our country and to our well being.. a hit-or/miss “oh that makes sense” surrender is NOT OK for our country. it’s the big picture that matters for the masses as opposed to the privileged few who do “heroin” in college and eat road kill..

Oh, FFS! Why not just say, "but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night." What a complete dip shit this "doctor" is!

Research about psilocybin over the past two decades in the field of PTSD, addiction, depression, etc has been groundbreaking. This candidate may be unqualified in other ways, but embracing "magic mushrooms" is not one of them

If she were a great communicator, she would have put this issue to bed during the hearing GOPers really are professionally stupid nitwits who speak in the voice of corporate marketing, where nothing is ever bad and there's always a silver lining good enough to justify a purchase

We have psilocybe growing en-masse on our exotic forest floor Autumn & Spring. Trouble is the quantity of the Psilocin depends on fungi’s age & species how many are taken. Just 1 can either 1. Do nothing 2. Make you sick 3. Possibly kill you (reaction) or 4. Give you a buzz. Psilocin is a Class A

Having watched the hearing, I certainly wouldn't say she's a great communicator. She bobbed, weaved, and did everything she could to avoid answering the simple questions posed to her. She certainly didn't come across as trustworthy.

GOD...these people! Sure...let's concentrate on the fact that this "Dr?" is a great communicator! She is an anti-vaxxer; she didn't finish her residency program as an ear, nose throat dr and her license has been put on an inactive status! SHE SHOULD NOT BE CONFIRMED AS SURGEON GENERAL!

This woman is highly unqualified to be a surgeon general. There are countless people with decades of education and experience that make her qualifications look like a McDonald’s drive thru worker. We are so fuckin screwed.

Such a strange issue to crop up when there are so many other reasons to condemn her. Amongst other things Psylocybin has shown anecdotal evidence of aborting drug-resistant cluster headache attacks, by means of “micro-dosing” - more research on this could be a very positive development.
