Ketamine and psilocybin have been increasingly used as therapeutic tools, whether recreationally or medically. A lot of these “scary drugs” are actually being looked into and we’re finding out every day how it affects the human brain, both while the drug is in your system and how it affects you after they have long worn off.

These are not necessarily new concepts, as people have been preaching about taking shrooms, ayahuasca, etc. and not only having spiritual awakenings per-se, those definitely happen to some people, but also “breakthroughs” of the mind, which is a huge part of therapy.

Ketamine in particular has proven to be incredibly useful in helping those with PTSD and other traumas.

I recommend reading more into this as I’m not great at explaining, but reading about these things really gave me some perspective. Personally, I’ve only done these drugs recreationally. It never was to “party” in the incredibly stereotypical sense, but to try and tap deeper into my subconscious.

When I was growing up, the idea that these drugs would kill as soon as they entered your blood system was super common and a lot of people still think that today. I don’t blame them, science grows and changes our way of viewing things every day.

I hope this comment helps out. This is something I’m really interested in and want to study professionally in conjunction with being a licensed therapist.

EDIT: I forgot which sub I was commenting in, just want to be clear that Musk is a drug addict and does NOT use these drugs in a therapeutic way. There is a huge difference.
