    It’s because illegal substances have a negative connotation of them. It’s ironic because they are not only physically safer than legal substances, but they are also both cheaper and have higher recreational value than them.

    Also, if the masses started doing psychedelics, it would be the downfall of capitalism as everyone begins to realize that the world’s governments and corporations are full of shit. Psychedelics really are the metaphorical third eye opener they are touted to be.

        I didn’t say anything about not working, though I don’t really recommend doing any substances at all if you are not in a decent enough financial situation.

        having ambition is not something only capitalism can provide you with. You can you know, do things, in any system

      I dunno. One bad thought can ruin the whole trip. I will agree, however, that psychedelics could have value in psychology. Some people need a good ego death.

        Theoretically yes, but that’s only if you dwell on it the entire time. Removing attention from the thought or changing the immediate environment can help if not negate it entirely.
