Fair you pointed out but with no implied criticism, those are the exact arguments one should expect from a psilocybin user.


Why is that? Do you think they are less sensical than non-users? Or are you implying that the author was under the influence at the time of writing?


There seem to be a specific cluster of personality traits found frequently in hallucinogen users. Whether a selection of who takes the drugs, who talks about it after, or a common effect of the drugs and how they're taken. Someone presently under the influence would probably say something stranger.

What seems likely is that they're very potent tools to change how the mind works, possibly for the better if used in the right way.

Upon what specific past information consumption activities, and in what quantities, do you base this claim (and others)?

I pose this question literally, not rhetorically. You've exhibited significant self-confidence and strong judgement of others, it seems fair that you are held to the same standard.

I have a feeling you have less knowledge in this domain than you think.


Thank you, clearly a more competent way to say what i meant.


None of the two, psychedelics are known for the spiritual/naturism effects so no wonder users advocate for a "down to earth" approach. Seems to me that you wouldn't get a similar response from a meth user.


I think that was just a free dunk on drug users. Sorry for being uncharitable here.


Sorry for being too dry, i elaborated a little bit under the parent comment. I have no interest in dunking anyone
