Look, people have been using these substances for millennia to the degree that it is an integrated spiritual practice across a number of civilizations.
I'm not sure why you want to ignore history to suit your narrative but it's telling that you're not engaging with it and it weakens your point. All you've illustrated is that /you/ don't know or care to find out about how the substance has been utilized. That has nothing to do with whether such an understanding exists or not and whether /others/ know something you don't. Suit yourself.
- slibhb 3y agoYou're posting hearsay and anecdote and passing it off as "thousands of years of spiritual practice". As I said, we don't have a good theory of why some people have lasting, negative side effects from using these drugs. Anyone claiming otherwise is just wrong. Dressing up your speculation with words like "integration, set/setting, mentors, etc" doesn't make it any less speculative. It's also obvious why you believe this stuff: because it makes you feel more secure in your own use of these substances. It's much harder to admit that you're rolling the dice when you fuck around with your brain chemistry.
