In our conversations around the campfire about what plant-based (dmt psychedelics) medicine healing is i notice he was very defensive of the practice and would not entertain anything other than absolute seriousness regarding his field of work. i tend to think it's all snake oil salesman bullshit. to be honest i don't really believe in any type of self-help or psychiatric help. what say you chaps and chapettes?

No, I am speaking about the underlying physical mechanism by which most of the phenomenon occurs.

So you are saying that there's sleeping parts of the brain that are activated by certain psychedelic stimuli?

No I am not. Sleeping parts of your brain and unused parts of your brain are a myth. Though underutilized parts of the brain is another matter.

I will explain it again. I think that psychedelics stimulate the growth and proliferation of new dendrites and axon terminus that encourage the brain to form new connections between neurons. These newly formed neural pathways allow us to think differently than previously. They are in essence new untread paths for our thoughts to follow that are different than the ones we constantly follow which may be giving us depression and anxiety. Your brain is entirely physical after all, so a physical/chemical phenomenon must occur for the altered mental state to occur.

This phenomenon should be reinforced so that the new nonmentally damaging pathways are retained and the old detrimental pathways of thinking fade.

I can try to find a diagram for illustrative purposes if that would be helpful.
