Your paranoia of “hippies”, denigration of people who are “too peaceful”, and basic understanding of psychedelic pharmacology are wholly subjective, unscientific, and warped by media portrayals

This is the correct answer; people whose only understanding of psychedelics draws from media portrayals of the 60s have a dramatically warped and puritanical perspective on what is a pharmacological effect vs a cultural effect
This is the correct answer; psychedelics enhance aspects of your personality that were already quite present
