Your comment made me wonder about generational differences when it comes to drugs of choice, since psychedelics seemingly fell out of favor there for a bit while cocaine took over. I wonder how each generation's drug use affects their consciousness and such. Some random data:

combine that with the fact that no one trusts the government to tell them what drugs are dangerous anymore. maybe you never did, but many many people used to not do various drugs because they trusted that they were illegal for a reason. the current state of marijuana being federally illegal and clearly not hurting people that bad has made that much much harder to believe.

Fun fact, the mountain where Moses did the Ten Commandments thing? It had a native hallucinogenic plant growing in it.

Dont forget to hangup the phone when you recieved the message. And start over 25.

this plus increasing availability.

Shrooms are astoundingly awesome. It cured my depression and I have been much happier since. I ate 11.7 grams of high power dried shrooms and had the craziest experience of my life a few months ago. Got stuck in a time loop, lived many lives, became other people, was a duck spirit. It was a journey unlike anything imaginable without them. We knew we were in for a hell of a ride when the buzz was strong less than 5 minutes after eating them. The buzz doubled in intensity every 5 minutes and 20 minutes in I fell through a checkered white tunnel with floating honey falling above me. Landed on a dark circular lawn looking up at the divine tower of music as me and my fellow duck spirit friends stood in a circle worshiping the music. It got so much crazier after that. I did piss myself but read after, that is par for the course at such extreme doses

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.

It's funny to read things like:" kids these days taking drugs, weird." When prohibition ind the usa was in full swing, people killed themself by drinking too much, drinking run off alcohol out of the gutter or pure alcohol. Pretty much everything to not have to be sober. But sure kids therse days sure are weird

Yeah ask those ppl who overdosed on shrooms and acid.
