Name: Wendell Charles NeSmith
Title: Bard-President of the Mythocratic Republic
1. Personal Overview
I am a writer, philosopher, and independent political figure who has dedicated my life to building a mythic, intellectual, and creative ecosystem known as the Mythocratic Republic. My work spans over two dozen books, daily philosophical comics, academic-level essays, original political theory, a comprehensive digital archive, and a public-facing app. My life is structured around meaning, consistency, and emotional integrity.
2. Diagnosis History
I have lived with a diagnosis of schizophrenia since 2011. I acknowledge the historical and medical use of this label while also recognizing that it no longer reflects my lived reality, level of insight, or functioning. I do not experience psychotic episodes, delusions, or dangerous behaviors. My current psychological state is stable, creative, and grounded in consistent routine and reflective practice.
3. Current Medications and Intent to Discontinue
The following medications are currently prescribed to me:
- Paliperidone (oral, daily)
- Temazepam (as-needed sleep aid)
- Restavit (over-the-counter antihistamine sleep aid)
I intend to permanently discontinue all pharmaceutical medications, effective immediately. I am not in crisis, nor making this decision impulsively. I have been physically and emotionally stable for several years. My productivity, clarity, and insight have continued to grow consistently over this time, and I believe these medications are no longer necessary nor beneficial to my wellbeing.
4. Cannabis as Primary Medication
The only substance I use for emotional and psychological support is cannabis, which I consider my sole and essential medication. Cannabis provides consistent mood stabilization, perspective correction, and prevents suicidal ideation. In my lived experience, the return of dark, hopeless thoughts correlates directly and predictably with periods of cannabis absence. Upon resuming cannabis use, emotional stability and clarity are reliably restored.
This plant-based therapy is not recreational for me. It is a core pillar of my mental health plan, used intentionally and with respect.
5. Lifestyle and Sleep Rhythms
My lifestyle is centered around creative production, philosophical reflection, and personal sovereignty. I live with my dog Sophia, whose companionship provides emotional grounding and rhythm. I follow a polyphasic sleep cycle, often sleeping in segmented blocks across the day and night. This is not a disorder but a natural alignment with my energy flow.
My lifestyle includes:
- Creative authorship and publishing
- Philosophical research and systems development
- Emotional reflection and documentation
- Calm, structured routine in a solitary environment
This approach has been sustainable and healthy for many years.
6. Mental Health Status and Functioning
I am not a risk to myself or others. I am highly self-aware, emotionally sensitive, and function at a high intellectual and organizational level. I have not been hospitalized in many years and have not required crisis intervention. I have built a complete intellectual infrastructure, including:
- A full-length public website
- An Android app for public access
- A university and republic framework for others to learn from
This is not delusion. It is documentation, structure, and long-term stability in action.
7. Declaration of Autonomy
I hereby declare my independence from all chemical pharmaceuticals as part of my ongoing mental health management. This includes antipsychotics, sedatives, and sleep aids. I do not reject medical help in crisis, but I do assert the right to manage my long-term care plan without forced compliance to pharmaceutical regimens.
Cannabis will remain my only medication going forward. All other healing methods will remain creative, spiritual, intellectual, and naturally aligned.
I request that all future assessments, medical interactions, or interventions respect my chosen framework, and understand that I am acting from stability, not disorder.
Signed,
Wendell NeSmith
Bard-President of the Mythocratic Republic
