Interesting, do you have a good source for this? Based on personal experience, it does seem somewhat intuitive that psychedelics would make you be more comfortable being "you", regardless of who you really are.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoIt’s covered to a fair extent in Jon Ronson’s The Psychopath Test. I believe this is the retrospective study on rates of recidivism: https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02352266 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02352266
- LoganDark 3y agoIt's not necessarily that psychedelics make you more comfortable with yourself. Psychedelics can reinforce the psychopathic way of thinking. I'm not a psychopath (...as far as I can tell), but I can think similarly to one when sober. For me, LSD can intensify that way of thinking. It can intensify everything, to be fair, but the way you think while on it can be... I guess "conducive to psychopathy"? If a psychopath is missing emotion/conscience and is given LSD, then they can end up with far more ways to manipulate their own thoughts in a way that supports their psychopathy, if that makes any sense.
