this. also for so successful medical trials for depression, they are always done with a psychologist to help assimilate and direct the experience. If it was just the substance, all party going mushroom popping teens would have gotten cured of depression.

If the story is, i take this, have this mind opening meaningful experience and that will make things better, thats what works here.
