Hey there guys 🙂 I've just been catching up on this thread and had to make a few edits to some posts form last night where the community was chatting about psychedelic and alternative therapies, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to have a transparent chat about how this can fit with our guidelines and where it sits - because up until now it's been living in the grey a bit.
Firstly - It's great to see these sort of chats happening and know that they're always coming from a place of curiosity and support, however, like I mentioned there's been a bit of a grey area when it comes to getting more specific about these sort of therapies, where we start to name certain drugs or medications.
I know that in the past we may have allowed some drug names on the forums, however we're really working on improving our consistency in the way that we moderate so we can better serve our amazing forums community, and in this case, that means applying the guideline around medication names more uniformly.
So you can still definitely have these convos here, but we can't get any more specific than "psychedelics". Just like how you can say painkillers, but not a specific pain relief medication, the same applies to less mainstream medications and drugs.
If you're ever unsure you can always ask us moderators on the forums, or via email! I know this may feel like a change which is why I wanted to post this here. And if you wanted to discuss any edits made to posts, please don't hesitate to email us at team@saneforums.org
