Why we need to stop bashing Prince Harry for using mushrooms, weed and other drugs

The hottest news in the world today revolves around two controversial people: Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.

In 2020, the two made headlines by publicly discussing their feuds with the royal family, releasing documentaries and interviews detailing their numerous difficulties there. In March 2020, they moved to Los Angeles, California.

The headlines and comments about the couple haven’t stopped as Prince Harry continues to discuss private details with the press. He’s even released an autobiography called Spare, in which Prince Harry talks about using psychedelics, cocaine and weed.

After the book came out, people lashed out at Prince Harry for using these drugs. His use of psychedelics and other drugs has become one of the most prominent issues people are concerned about from his memoir. While some applaud his vulnerability and honesty when it came out that he used drugs to cope with his grief, there are many who lash out. Some even say that his admission of drug use was risky, as it could put his life in the United States at risk because the US Citizenship and Immigration Service asks would-be migrants about their drug use and rejects those who found it addicts or drug addicts . While he’s by no means an addict or abuser, Prince Harry is human — just like the rest of us, and has likely experimented with drugs as many of us are dealing with tough times in life.

Yes, Prince Harry has used drugs and alcohol – he’s human!

Additionally, there is so much publicity for the fact that during an interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, Prince Harry revealed that he turned to psilocybin and ayahuasca to help cope with mental health issues brought on by his mother’s death , when he was only 12 years old.

“I would never recommend people to do this recreationally,” he told Cooper. “But if you do it with the right people, if you’re going through a lot of loss, grief or trauma, then those things have a way of working like medicine,” says Prince Harry.

He’s not wrong: Psychedelics are indeed valuable treatments for processing and managing grief, depression, and other difficult emotions. There are many studies to back this up, and psilocybin magic mushrooms are now well on their way to becoming mainstream drugs. Countless people are discovering the benefits of psilocybin every day and using it for a variety of purposes, including treating mental health issues.

Even ayahuasca, which people pay big bucks for because its therapeutic benefits are compared to 10 years of therapy in a weekend. A recent study published in Psychopharmacology also explains how ayahuasca can help people deal with the pain of loss and grief. according to dr Debora Gonzalez, principal investigator of the study: “We found that ayahuasca facilitates acceptance of the death of a loved one.”

“We have found that the experience of meeting a loved one who has passed away and being able to resolve the doubts and issues that remained and to form a lasting bond has a therapeutic effect on the bereaved who difficult to achieve with the techniques currently used in conventional psychotherapy,” says Dr. gonzalez “That kind of experience tends to change your perspective on life and death,” she adds.

Sure, Harry has also been open about how he abused alcohol during those times, but why is this getting so much attention? Surely that’s how average people deal with it – just because he’s a king doesn’t mean he’s immune to suffering and pain.

“For us kids, the British press’ part in our mother’s misery was obvious and I had a lot of anger inside that I thankfully never expressed to anyone,” Harry said during the interview. “But I’ve been drinking a lot. Because I wanted to numb the feeling, or distract myself from how… Whatever I thought And I would, you know, do drugs too,” he said frankly.

Cooper also asked Harry to explain further what the psychedelic drugs did to him. “What did they show you?” Cooper asked.

“For me, they removed the windshield, the windshield, the misery of loss,” explains Harry. “They cleaned up this idea that I had in my head – that my mother – that I had to cry to prove to my mother that I missed her. All she really wanted was for me to be happy,” he says.

unnecessary attention

Whether or not you support Prince Harry and Meg, the attention surrounding his drug and alcohol use is needless. There are many other notable details that people should discuss such as racism, the history of colonialism and maybe even the complete abolition of the monarch. It’s already 2023.

If anything, the fact that Prince Harry has become so open about his alcohol and drug use shows how normal he is. Just think of our own lives and the problems we face: Prince Harry has to deal with every single thing, magnified in the public eye. He should be given asylum and not punished for taking drugs to deal with things that are only very human.
