I believe your experiments have confirmation bias.

Instead of doing your own controlled experiments, you should try doing ayahuasca, peyote or shrooms in their natural setting, with local people leading the way.

I bet you’ll have a completely different experience.

By that reasoning, doesn't that mean you simply confirm the biases of the "local people leading the way" instead of your own?

99% of the "local" people leading the way are just western charlatans.
