I'd love to ask you a more sona question about the the long tern impact psychodelics have had on your own life. What are some enduring changes you've had in your perspective or your personality ever since? Im, if you asked my wife, she would tell you that the experiences have made me more open, more emotionally available, things like that. I'm not sure i can, you know, i necessarily see that. But it has opened up this space of of curiosity about myself and self exploration.
