As a youth I did quite a bit of LSD and magic mushrooms. I think that in general many college age people dabbling in psychedelics are likely left leaning to begin with. As people get older they tend to be a bit more conservative. In high doses I experienced a breakdown of self or ego and in this state you do see an interesting connectivity to everything. In some sense you see your brain actively participating to create the “reality” we live in. This experience is frightening in some ways as you can generate people that do not exist and carry on a conversation… you see the power behind the human brain and it’s ability to transform energy vibrations into the world we perceive normally. Breaking down and reconstructing the patterns we use to navigate our environment is truly awe inspiring (and terrifying). The experiences from my point of view really have nothing to with broad outlines of liberal or conservative viewpoints.
