I wouldn't scorn such "shortcuts." It's difficult for people to put sustained effort into something without having some sense of what the payoff will be like. "Cheating" once or twice can provide sufficient motivation for developing the skill permanently. Psychedelic drugs, for example, can provide a flash of mystical enlightenment that motivates people to begin meditating.
At no point did I scorn such "shortcuts" - read what I wrote without the assumption that I'm anti-drugs. I wanted to point out that you're playing with complex chemistry, and something as strong as sertraline chloride is a serious choice.
Also sertraline chloride vs something like (as an example) DMT - are very much not the same thing. DMT being a natural, powerful psychedelic used for many years in many forms by many cultures.
I wouldn't compare mushrooms to Zolpidem either, though the effects are similar. One is not like the other. Zolpidem (branded as stilnox at the time) gave me very similar effects, I basically had a ??real-life lucid dream?? within 20 mins of taking it. I stopped immediately.
Either way, to each his/her own - I merely wanted to offer a different perspective. If it works for you, go for it.
