On another forum, I was just asked about the risks/benefits associated with psychedelic medicines with a person with TBI resulting from a stroke. I did a search here and didn't come up with any specifics.

I do not know the current state of health of the person in question, but if any other info is needed, can ask.

Thanks for any input or direction.

Strictly speaking a traumatic brain injury requires the 'application' of an external mechanical force; with this in mind, a stroke would be regarded as a non-traumatic injury.

I think more details are required about the case in question in order to clarify what is actually meant.
I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

I was hoping you'd respond. I'll relay that information, thanks.

I would also think the blood pressure difference caused by some psychedelcs (DMT) might play a role in the safety of someone post-stroke. A good person to ask would be a doc/neuroligst.
