    If I recall correctly, the guy who created the Twelve Step recovery program was inspired to do it (I think to him it was actually a religious experience) from an LSD trip, which ended up helping him quit drinking.

    So, this is technically what happened to him: Drugs told him to stop taking drugs.

      He kept taking LSD after he was “sober”. To be fair, Bill W was an alcoholic and was treating his alcoholism through abstinence, community and helping others. I don’t think he had a problem with drugs, at least I don’t think LSD was ever a big problem for him.

      Psychedelics are just kind of like that sometimes

      Mushrooms can tell you if they want to, very firmly, that it’s time to hang up the phone

        I once saw mushrooms described as “the most forensically accurate character assassination known to man”

        Which is why I think it’s very important that everyone try them, or at least westerners
