“One does have to wonder why we need to medicate ourselves to cope with reality rather than change reality instead.”

A lot of our problems are due to self deception. One thing psychedelics are good for is being able to see through the lies we tell ourselves and face the facts about our behaviors.

lol. Psychedelics work the other way just the freaking same. Almost all the regular psychedelic drug users I know are liars and deceivers who abuse weaknesses of people for their advantage and fun and if someone points at the truth and/or challenges them and their ways of thinking, they lash out and start to damage the person behind their back.

Use of psychedelics in the general population will do a lot of harm. It ruined the hippies and their kids and broke the red team almost to the point of no return. It also makes subliminal marketing so much more efficient.

None of what I said changes the effect of better well-being, though.

Jerk, rapist, thief, serial-killer, market manipulator, war dog? Psychedelics will make you feel better. Victim? Well, they might make it better if you use enough drugs long enough.
