If psychedelics didn't radically alter your brain chemistry they wouldn't be psychedelics. Many things can alter your brain's chemistry--like exercise, or pain--and I don't see why this claim should appear to be unusual or unfounded. Here's a study I found with 10 seconds of Googling: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00213-005-2183-9 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00213-005-2183-.... I'm sure there are many more, better studies out there. I think you're taking my post the wrong way. I didn't say psychedelics instantly turn your brain to mush the second you take them. I'm just saying that they CAN turn your brain to mush, and it does happen to people--especially in people predisposed to mental illness.
