    5-HT2A serotonin agonists like psilocybin are known to induce neuroplastic changes - this is most evident to users in the form of rapid cognitive schema formation (since we actually experience that happening), but it stands to reason that it happens throughout the nervous system.

    It’s definitely unfortunate that there was such a backlash against this research in the 60s/70s.

    I firmly believe that more people should be micro dosing mushrooms for therapeutic purposes.

      Macro dosing is necessary at this juncture.

      I firmly believe we should have more doctors deciding things like this as opposed to random people on the internet psychedelics are fucking dope, but they can also be used as a totalitarian tool. Never forget that Albert Hoffman had some sketchy ass esoteric nazi connections :)
