Psychedelics are the cheat code to fix your life without doing any work

You’re supposed to secretly dose everyone else with the psychedelics and then they'll think you’re a good person.

Mushrooms definitely helped me work on my issues. They key with every psychedelic.ive done though is you have to go in with the right attitude. If you're afraid of what acid might do, the anxiety is going to make you miserable for 12 hours. Shrooms supercharge my emotions so when I did them my 9th day of vacation when I was starting to really miss my dog they made me very sad.

How? I don't get the joke. Do I have to try it myself?

It is very common to be introspective on psychedelics. They suppress the default mode network (which is basically all of your filters and shortcuts your brain takes) so then your brain starts looking at patterns as if they are new again. This introspection can lead to life changes simply because without the day-to-day nonsense filling your head, you have space to consider what you can do better or what you can fix. You kinda have to be open to this idea and make a focused effort to engage. It's best paired with therapy or close friends with intent. Otherwise, just doing psychedelics recreationally (because it is fun and feels great especially if you're suffering from depression!) isn't gonna fix anything.

I'd be living my life as some sort of philosopher King if that were the case.

If you only learned how to use a hammer, you Wilk try to hammer in a screw with a screwdriver...

They are supposed to make you realize that putting in the work is worth it. Of course you could do that without them but most peoples brains are 'rigid' after many years of repeating the same patterns.

You gotta do the work of following through once the trip ends
