I’ve never had a bad acid trip, but genuinely have zero desire to do it again in my life. I’m just not interested in it anymore. I never really was. I can’t say I’ve ever enjoyed doing acid, or any other psychedelic. I say this to establish that I’m not some kind of psychedelics fanboy or anything.
…all because I need to say that there are few people that have tried to justify their stupid decisions more than Evans.
The general population grossly misrepresenting and simplifying snippets of “””science””” from psychology today dot com is absolutely nothing new.
I’ve got no doubt that anyone that involved in any of the referenced psychedelic research would in very strong terms dissuade Evans from his subsequent interactions with psychedelics. Much less, going from acid to something more extreme.
He then seemingly proceeded to devote himself to some sort of predetermined-conclusion weird activism-laden academic pursuit, based on the false narrative that the ‘new’ man is lying to us about the dangers of psychedelics. When, in reality, I doubt that anyone worth a damn would’ve condoned his actions.

The article does not support this portrayal at all. Just read the last sentence in it. Whether or not his personal experience with psychedelics involved known-bad choices is completely irrelevant to the results of his research. Unless you have any concrete evidence for bias in the design or analysis of his surveys, it is you who's building a false narrative.
