They are not chemically addictive but my suspicion is that they can be psychologically addictive. I once knew someone who would argue for a Brave New World-esque world because of his (positive) experiences of psychedelics.

I don’t think his friend is mentally ill but he reminds me of someone like Eckhart Tolle.

I don't think Eckhart Tolle is mentally ill at all. There's nothing wrong with being like Echkart. But I just admitted to taking psychedelics, so maybe people think I'm mentally ill now :-) To clarify, I'm not much like Echkart: those same people would think I am doing "well": i work in SF in tech, I make 200k+, pretty normal. That's "good", while Echkart is "bad". it's a bit silly to me.

Anyways, I had a good experience, you know some people who, from your perspective, have not. That's why we need studies.

Are we not already living in Brave New World a la benzos and opiods?
