Psychedelics are like retreats or intensive sessions. They can be awesome and they can feel amazing and productive. And if you’re doing the work beforehand or they inspire you to change after they’re exactly it. But they won’t force you to actually change. Additionally some people just do these things because they enjoy them and may or may not be well adjusted
It almost always comes down to set and setting, imo. You (mostly) get out what you put in.
Don’t get me wrong, it can also just be a fun time, but even that should be approached carefully and with some respect to the substance (most of the stories I’ve heard where someone gets psychically bitch-slapped is when they start getting a little frivolous in their approach. SWIM told me about that once…)
Edit: Also noted they’re not useful/good for everyone and that’s ok - important to know, even.
