But you can only understand the paths they blaze through the mind if you’ve traveled them.

I believe the term "high" for psychedelics is misleading and inaccurate. It wrongly implies similarity to being drunk, which is not the case. The intellectual aspect of psychedelics is often overlooked.

I dunno I spent about two years doing mushrooms ranging from: 4g; .5g a day; 3g every 3 hours for half a day; 12g at once and... it was nice but can't say it did anything intellectually.
