Reddit mentions of Psychedelic Drugs Reconsidered (Drug Policy Classics Reprints Series Number 1)

Excuse me for allowing my personal experiences to get in the way. I was trying to give my perspective on why someone would want to do something that changes their personality and why a personality change should not be viewed as a bad thing you wouldn't want to do if you like yourself. Much like I would enjoy hearing the opinions of someone who was in the military if I was wondering why someone would want to join the military. Everything they say might not have a source besides their opinion, but since this is a first hand account, their opinion can be important for understanding.

How about I word it like this:

Therapy can change your personality permanently by giving you new outlooks. Do you consider therapy something that you wouldn't want to do because you like yourself and it would change that?

I feel that is less opinionated and a more direct representation of what I am trying to get at.

>You just stated that shrooms=therapy.

No, I pretty clearly said it is similar.

And you want a source? Read this.

>An advantage of psychedelic drugs in exploring the unconscious is that a conscious sliver of the adult ego usually remains alert during the experience. Throughout the session, patients remain intellectually alert and remember their experiences vividly. In this highly introspective state, they also are actively cognizant of ego defenses such as projection, denial, and displacement as they react to themselves and their choices in the act of creating them.

There. I trimmed the opinion off of the question and re-presented it, and I provided a source supporting my opinion while simultaneously debunking your idea that I'm saying "shrooms=therapy."
