NOTE

Psychedelics and health benefits, among wide group of users! JBP says!

Psychedelics, particularly in the context of ancient Greek religion and Christian ideas, have similarities with shamanic experiences like death and rebirth. The powerful hallucinogenic experiences are integral to religious beliefs historically and have contributed to the emergence of Greek rationality and Mediterranean civilization. Despite being considered as potentially poisonous, a large-scale study found that hallucinogen users were healthier in terms of physical and mental health compared to non-users. This challenges the notion of psychedelics as mere poison, leading to a profound question about the spiritual experiences induced by these chemicals and their transformative effects. Clinical evidence supports the positive transformation associated with psychedelics, suggesting a deeper understanding is needed for these substances.
