I have never gotten any benefits from psychedelics whatsoever. Sure they are fun and mind blowing but I have never experienced a tangible improvement in my mental health. Actually I had a bad trip and that has had a negative impact on my mental health I had depersonalisation and anxiety for months after.
It's not about the initial injury. How are you going to find food when you can't move properly? How are you going to avoid predators? If you are alone and not in a group that can help you with these things until you heal it's pretty much a death sentence.
I honestly hate the "Haha I NEED my coffee isn't my addiction so quirky haha?" thing some people have. And the same as weed addicts they constantly feel the need to justify their addiction it really irritates me.
What about people with HPPD? There are definitely people who have long lasting effects of these drugs. Negative and positive. I have depersonalisation/derealization and anxeity disorder after a bad LSD experience. Would it have been triggered without it? Maybe. But what I do know is that shortly after that experience these problems began. I think this overly positive reporting is harmful. I too used to think that drugs aren't that bad and it's all just propaganda but drugs do mess with your mind and if you value your mental health you should stay away from anything harder than alcohol imo.
