I've done more psychedelics than I remember. I know I've done LSD at least 35-40 times over the years, and it has been less than 3 months at this point. I'm over 40, by the way.
I can sit there with my eyes closed while on LSD. Same with mushrooms. Mushrooms are a bit more fun with that because of the visuals and patterns - I've spent some hours like this in a hotel in Amsterdam (truffles, obviously).
I already find an MRI relaxing - they give you a button in case anything goes wrong, after all, and they can put music in the headphones. I can definitely just relax there and I can definitely see how it would be pretty immersive. Plus, I'm pretty sure they aren't giving these folks contrast through an IV and that's really the bit I'd have some issues with.
