The hallucinogens reinforced your left-leaning beliefs and opinions. There's nothing wrong with that but it's not exactly revalatory knowledge that will be shared by right-leaning individuals such as myself.

Indeed I have taken hallucinogens and have had no such feelings, to the contrary I have leaned even more to the right after having taking them (although I attribute no causal role). It did produce an appreciation of the numinous, alongside the hallucinations, but that's about it.

It's pretty sad that people feel the need to align everything along right vs left.

Actually my thoughts I would have described at the time as being very conservative, albeit along the libertarian bent. I believed that there should be no intervening forces in the world to stop people from freely acting.

Did you move far enough to the right that you'll be putting yourself in prison soon for that drug offense?

I have a friend who reacts to psychedelics like this, you are the only other person I've encountered (including reading forums) who has this reaction. It seems to be very rare, I wonder if there's an underlying cause or if it's just one of those things.

Maybe right leaning people tend to self select out of trying psychedelics, everyone I know in my personal life who partakes is left leaning
