"Do not fall for the romantic tales of psychonauts to reach some kind of enlightenment. All these people suffer from psychosis." Nothing like a blanket statement in your first sentence to immediately discredit your argument. "All black people... All psychonauts... All Americans..." When you look at it yourself... doesn't it sound stupid to try to argue this way? There are now hundreds of studies showing numerous benefits to psychedelics, from anxiety, depression, OCD, anxiety, Autism, etc. What more evidence and data do you need? |

My opinion is as valid as the opinion of psychonauts. Maybe more so because I do not rave about great insights about the universe or gods or aliens or chakra or kundalini or third eye or old souls; New Age stuff whose proponents are famous for the promotion of altered states (!) by meditation or yoga or drugs.

All noteworthy (positive) studies are published by medical experts.
All medical experts warn against the casual use of psychedelics. They all promote a therapy that might include psychedelics under supervision of a medical expert.
Only people who suffer from psychosis defend their delusions as real and important.
