I see the term ego death used in relation to people taking hero doses of Psilocybin.

Its just a fancy way of saying dissociation.
I've got friends who go into reactive dissociative states. Rarely do they emerge with a new story of self where they've grown through what they triggered around. I'm saying rarely here to account for the fact that while I've never witnessed it, I'm not saying it's impossible.

This is definitely not the case for friends or myself who've experienced ego death, with or without psychedelics.
