Psychedelics don't have that strong of an effect on the average person, but they can on those who are preconditioned with the likes of bipolar/schizophrenic disorders. I am diagnosed with the former.

And psychedelics did teach me important values as you mentioned that I likely could have attained without needing to go through the delusions that came with them for me.

In other words I don't see them as harmful drugs for the average human mind, but rather as tools to observe oneness amongst planet Earth... Which in my opinion is valuable therapy that should be offered under structured therapeutic sessions rather than given out left and right at parties.

Because for some minds.. Like mine... They also cause psychotic episodes. Lol
