> where do you find your meaning, purpose, and self-worth when you can’t rely on your job anymore? > psychedelics I think this article is falling a bit too much on the honeymoon phase of taking many drugs. Yes, ecstacy will make you feel love where previously there was none. Yes, cannabis is a thousands of years old religious herb that calms your aggression. Yes, psilocybin mushrooms will make you question the nature of your reality, with potential for life-changing improvement. But meaning, purpose, self-worth? That's a lot of value assignment to one tiny slice of existence.

Non-religious people can find "something more" under the influence of psilocybin, DMT or LSD or during following weeks. They may start looking for purpose or meaning where they previously did not seek: inside. No drugs will give you long-term purpose, meaning or self-worth but some can certainly provoke thought patterns of "there's more to it all" or "everything is connected" which in certain people may result in positive life changes like seeking (or acknowledging) spirituality without losing disregard towards religions.
