mmk, what's your standpoint on using illicit psychedelic drugs as a form of therapy? Or using them on a personal level to achieve "Ego Death," to have a new perspective on life, and "grow" as an individual?
As for psychedelic therapy, i'm kinda neutral with it. I don't see it as being incredibly harmful quite yet, though i guess I never had much experience with it, so eh, there's that. Whether or not I would do that, well, I dunno. I might consider it further, just to make sure what it is, and what it does. By the looks of it, if it's well-controlled and all, it's fine. I would probably prefer if they remain on the therapeutic side.
I just hope it doesn't bring on an incentive to do drug deals, and stuff like that. I wonder if that'd be related.
As for a recreational and personal usage in trying to achieve Ego Death, ehm... I dunno. I don't really know enough to give strong thoughts on it other than personally preferring not to seek Ego Death. I'm content with my former existential crisis, and new experiences might not really help me a whole lot. My mind's set on living through it and just creating what I can.
I suppose it would be alright? It seems these experiences can ultimately leave people off with feeling much better in the end about things.
