A quote from Terence McKenna, a renowned advocate for the responsible use of psychedelic plants: “Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window.

They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong." The psychedelic experience can be much more intense to process and integrate afterward than the substances you mentioned.
