Drugs only 'feel good' for that purpose in the few hours after they are consumed. If people's psychological state is influenced (either way) several weeks after the experience, then something else is at work.
- esperent 6y agoHave you ever taken psychedelics? I've used mushrooms, lsd, and a few others probably over a hundred times and one of the things that really seperates these drugs from others such as caffeine, alcohol, mdma, amphetamines, etc. is that there's no noticeable comedown except that the experience fades away and I am tired (as I would be after any intense experience). On the contrary, I usually feel really good after taking psychedelics, often for a period of days or weeks afterwards. People's experience will vary of course, and if you have a bad or unpleasant trip you won't feel good afterwards. However, in my experience, the majority of people don't experience comedown after taking psychedelics.
