Yeah, just more reasons why I have no interest in trying it. Maybe it could be lifechanging but maybe it is but in a bad way. I am not interested in finding out.

From the post (Top comment on HN):

>Psilocybin, MDMA and Salvia divinorum have had a profound effect on my life and the person I am today. Of course it’s impossible to say who I would be, had I not tried these. Has it been for the better? Maybe. For the worse? Maybe. I do know that they are experiences I would not want to be without. They taught me a great desl about myself and helped shape my perception of the inner and outer world surrounding me. Am I smarter and more enlightened, probably not. May be I even shaved off an IQ point or two in the proces. But having my reality altered, even totally disintegrated (salvia) certainly paved the way for acceptance of other states of mind that people may exist in. This is very valuable to me, as it helped break down a black and white coccon I see many people live in (some break free by orher means, some never escape it). To me, it was bungee jumping for the mind but from the comfort of my own home. It certainly has helped me take on and be comfortable with opposing viewpoints, being very tolerant in general and able to reach further into the corners of my mind. It’s been decades since those first jumps, but the effects will last me a lifetime.

I have seen some studies on micro and a lot of them are related to PTSD for vet's. Either way I figure it probably still is a major "brain change" to knock you out of that. I support that research and hope it can help our vet's. I just have no interest in taking any of that myself even if there is a chance that it could help me somehow.

The brain change part is news to me. Loosely recall something about ketamine for vets (or possibly another group) being studied, but idr much about it. I'd really like to see PTSD (the whole population, not just vets) and depression delt with, permanently. As long as the side affects aren't bad, go for it. Brain change - that would stop any sane man, so I get it
