"I never understood why people would want to take drugs to see the shit and live the suffering I have all my life but that's where we are..." MDMA helped this

"I never understood why people would want to take drugs to see the shit and live the suffering I have all my life but that's where we are..." MDMA helped this man with aspergers: [1] And here is a woman talking about how psilocybin helped her cope with cancer-related depression: [2] Finally, here is a "normal" woman talking about her experiences on LSD: [3] Hopefully this will give you some insight in to why people take psychedelics.

[1] - That video was interesting since I know MDMA has a strong effect on norepinephrine and I have had that same experience of calm taking clonidine which stimulates the a2 receptors. I have a similar experience to Larry and therapists have said in the past I have Asperger's. I am low on the classic catecholamines so this makes sense. [2] - It is normal to be depressed when you have cancer so I have no opinion on that. To me that is something I work through cognitively. I would never tells someone not to take it though because if you have never done any psychological work and then you get cancer, well, that's a long reach. It happened to my father. He never has a thing wrong with him his whole life, then he got Pancreatic cancer at 71 and suddenly saw his mortality. Taking him to chemo I was trying to help him through this but the look on his face told me it was too late. I would have liked for him to have one beautiful experience. [3] - All things are just appearances. That is the only lesson one should learn who is "normal" taking LSD. I have said those same things in manic states as my friends would attest to, and I still have those experiences. You know, after a while, they are just normal like everything else. The first time I lived in Hawaii I was amazed. Then after a few years it was just like any other place.
