Are psychedlics not addicting?
- SwiftyBug 8y agoNot the same way as cocaine, heroine, alcohol or nicotine are.
- piracy1 8y agoAlso, not logistically possible to be addicted really. There's a big tolerance response almost instantly.
- ianai 8y agoHow so?
- bencollier49 8y agoThe brain is a control system. In the presence of way too much serotonin, it adjusts to compensate.It then adjusts to the lack of serotonin. But all that takes a while.
- everdev 8y agoSome call them anti-addictive as the experience can sometimes be challenging.
- loceng 8y agoThey can be powerful for breaking addictions whether that's food, sex, alcohol, tobacco or other, however they are themselves addictive for the ego mind because of the vibrant, picturesque entertainment quality experience they provide. That's to say, there's a line an individual must determine of when there is healing benefit from the practices vs. when they are addicted or have become dependant on them - dependant to clear energy and get relief from blocks/energy stagnancy that a psychedelic will only temporarily clear or let flow - when instead different work or practices are required. There are edge cases of course where, say with people who have chronic pain, where micro-dosing can allow energy to flow more easily and give relief where otherwise it can't come from other means.
