They were literally life-changing for me, to the point that I would sincerely encourage my kids to try them in a safe/responsible manner when they're of age/if they're of interest.
There was an interesting study recently done that monitored the brain scans of participants before and after usage of psychedelics.
It showed that while something like 80% of the participants claimed huge changes in themselves (thought processes, outlook on life, etc) there was no measurable difference in their brain patterns.
Edit: because I keep getting replies. I just found it to be interesting, I'm not saying there aren't any benefits and that it hasn't helped people. It just wasn't the outcome I would have thought and thought it was worth sharing.
So?
