"what are these profound effects that people like me cannot understand. Enlighten us, please"

If you sincerely want to know, I urge you to watch these three videos of people discussing what MDMA and psilocybin have done for them: [1] [2] [3]

The first is of a woman with alcohol dependency treated with psilocybin.

The second is a report by a man with Aspergers Syndrome about what a single experience with MDMA did for him.

The third is of a woman with terminal cancer treated with psilocybin.

There are countless stories like this, including of veterans with severe, treatment-resistant PTSD being successfully treated with MDMA. Phase-3 trials of MDMA are under way as we speak, and it is likely that the FDA will approve MDMA as a treatment for PTSD as early as 2021.
