    I don’t think that psychedelics make you literally think differently in the long term. They do make you think differently while you’re tripping though.

    My theory is that they essentially take away your ability to ignore things for a while, forcing you to confront things you normally keep bottled up. And that can lead to life-altering insights.

    Also why tripping with unresolved trauma can be either helpful or super dangerous. Or both.
