> It always bothers me when I'll see statements like 'this drug changed my life', especially when talking about psychedelics. The drug didn't do it alone.

Yeah, I never liked that phrasing either. It makes psychedelics seem like some magical mental health panacea.

Often people who seek out these drugs are already taking the first steps to change their life (this can mean many things, even if "only"[1] changing their outlook) before ever taking the drug. They changed their life on their own, the drug was just a means to an end.

[1] I put only in quotes, because anyone who's struggled with any mental health issues knows this can be a gargantuan hurdle
