Schedule I

it's legal in a lot of places.

It's still like a Schedule 1.

Cocaine.

Cocaine, probably.

Or like a really

good demo, right? Like that's what sold the biggest selling indie game of all time now, Schedule One.

Content warning.

Thank you, chat from Twitch.

Content warning.

That's what I was talking about.

So the biggest game, the biggest indie game made by a single player, a single developer, Schedule One sold like 14 million copies or something stupid like that.

and made like $200 million for this one guy.

I think Ri- and his wife, Ann Shulgin, was a therapist.

And in fact, before MDMA became a Schedule 1, uh, drug, it was actually used legally by psychotherapists for helping people be able to explore conflict in a very, uh, open and honest and vulnerable way that was especially useful for people who were having difficulty communicating with each other, for example, in couples.

Not so much as a, you know, aphrodisiac, but more as a way of being vulnerable and open to get past conflicts that are ordinarily too scary, or too, um, you know, that you might not say because you'd be afraid of hurting somebody's feelings.

But, um, to be able to be open and vulnerable in this way seems to be one of the-

Is that because it's viewed as an illegal substance here in the US?

It is an illegal substance.

It's a Schedule 1, um, psychedelic, and so it is not used therapeutically in the United States.

But in Mexico, the legal status of ibogaine is a little bit more, um, uh, unclear.

The three substances are related to seven... hydromigratinine, or 7-OH, a more concentrated version of an active Kratom.

The substances have been placed in Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act.

Schedule 1 substances are classified as illegal substances that have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.

Other substances classified as Schedule 1 include heroin, ecstasy, and LSD.

The DEA has filed a notice of intent saying it is looking to temporarily schedule 7-OH above certain concentrations.

Individuals addicted to opioids like heroin and fentanyl are often turning to these products for the opioid-like effect they produce at large doses, and we're even seeing individuals mixing these products with over-the-counter medicine to enhance its effects, said Stephen Bayens, Commissioner of the Iowa Department of Public Safety.

You know, it's like, oh yeah, well, you know, we know Bennett, we know where he comes from.

So the thing about now is these games are, become huge it just come out of nowhere by these like one or two person developers who aren't really connected into a community and aren't you know sort of part of you know what's what's known as as a scene and it's so it's kind of like we just don't even know what what's coming every year can you give an example by the way You know, things like Schedule I or, what's that? Lethal

Company? Shoot.

Right, yeah, yeah.

And yeah, that's fascinating.

Yeah, and much like in our culture today and, you know, especially what happened in 1970 where all that stuff was demonized and put on Schedule 1, back then during the Eleusinian Mysteries, the reason why those mysteries stopped is because the powers that be were like, hey, these guys are a fucking problem.

These trippy dudes with their weird ideas who invented democracy, they're going to fuck this whole thing up.

We're not going to be able to run it and tell everybody what to do and force them into going to war.

Like, there's no question that it has medicinal capabilities.

Still Schedule 1.

Yeah.

But then every once in a while you see these operations, uh, these psychological operations being continued and, you know, unfortunately, I know we, we tend to have an older audience, but this, this seeps right into the boomer brain.

You're welcome to join, John, if you want.

It's free, and it is a ripoff of Payday 2, and it looks like Schedule 1.

So clown masks and all.

And when I was watching the trailer, I was like looking at some of the example, you know, missions that they were doing.
