Glad it helped you however i have to let you know negative social emotions, self-consciousness and even bitter emotions such as envy can be controlled or even removed without drugs however it take a lot of introspection and paradigm shifts. I'm not saying it's easy but it can be done and drugs should be used as a last resort when all else fails. I am afraid people will just choose the easy route and take the drugs instead of doing the inner core work to fix these issues.

> I'm not saying it's easy but it can be done and drugs should be used as a last resort when all else fails. I haven't tried MDMA, or any of they psychedelics. But trustworthy friends report just the opposite. It was trying those drugs that made them understand that different ways of being were possible. It was only then that they started doing the work necessary to make that their normal state. That makes a lot of sense to me. For years I heard a lot of talk about how exercise was good for mood and cognition. But as somebody who hated sports, I filed it under "blah blah". It wasn't until I had a couple of intense exercise experiences that I experienced the difference. Now I'm training for my second triathlon (after doing more than a dozen running races).

I don't know whether it's a result of taking LSD or just getting older, but for a lot of things where my initial reaction would be indifference or opposition, I've come to think: Wait, those people actually have a point! There is also that difference between (rationally) understanding something and understanding something, attaching meaning and value to it.
