… that is only there because you are putting chemicals in your body. ‘Love beyond comprehension’ thanks to a drug doesn’t sound very fun to me, it sounds like something out of Brave New World.

While you may have a point, there might be a better way to say it. Everything is chemicals.

it's not like BNW because you can't really take it all the time. Trick to peak benefit is to space it out. Ideally by several weeks, if not months between sessions.

I always offered my parents who won‘t live another 10 years some of my drugs, but they refuse. "We don‘t like loss of control / altered mental states" they say. Meanwhile I just met a young man I am into who is excited to try e for the first time soon when we will go out.

You can really split people in two here, those who actively avoid gaining experience with new states of mind and those that love collecting them.

You're gay. They probably just don't want to take drugs and become gay like their son.
