      Meh, I do think psychs should be legalized and do a ton myself, but this notion that all the shitty people in the world just need to have a good trip and they’ll be better is silly and dangerous.

      Tripping can make you confront shitty things you’ve been doing if you’re a decent person, but it won’t make someone who’s a Nazi not a Nazi, it’ll just make them weirder and sometimes more sure that they’re enlightened and see the truth.

      Agree 100% but ”humbled” is not the way to sell it.

      How about “enlightened” or are we so deep in the ‘golden retriever male’ narrative that we’re actually not going to accept that some people are warriors just like others are shamans and others are carers?

      Maybe whoever you really are is actually Kenough?
