This is a really unpopular answer, but I whole heartedly support it. Unfortunately, many people are looking for a solution (a quick fix) in a pill. They don't want to hear that perhaps the way they are living or the society they live in is not conducive to happiness.
Perhaps an alternative to intoxication is to work towards a world of human flourishing.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoThe thing about mushrooms is the effect lasts well after “intoxication”. And the effect of mushrooms is anything but numbing. Scientifically they actually allow the brain to see things in a new light and overcome blocks (they relax the "default mode network" tho I am not a scientist). Changing your behavior is of course very important but sometimes the mind gets stuck and it seems mushrooms can help get us unstuck.
