Reply to A more mystical and insightful psychedelic drug experience may be linked to an enduring reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms, according to new research. The study is the first to characterize subtypes of the subjective psychedelic experience and link them to mental health outcomes. by memorialmonorail

In my experience, and I am experienced, set and setting are still most pivotal. Your mindset regarding the experience itself is hugely important. It's not the placebo effect because there's obviously neurochemical interactions between the chemicals and yourself, but your own perceptions about whether or not the experience will have meaning do impact the long-term results in my opinion. I say this having seen other people's experiences with psychedelics and my own and being somewhat let down at the less mystical nature of the substances and more the fact that they did impact me but not necessarily in the ways that have been hyped up socially. There's absolutely impacts from taking psychedelics on your experience with the world around you, but whether or not it's a religious like experience, I think has to do more with the user. That being said, dimethyltryptamine is quite the ride

I definitely agree with that. But when it comes to controllable factors for a school, exercise is a helpful contributor. Food education in the states is wildly inept.

I once took magic mushrooms and suddenly I didn't hate life. Realized all the negative beliefs I had were pretty much bs. I cried laughing through the whole thing.
