Plant Medicine
(disclaimer - all experiences happened in either a decriminalized or legal jurisdiction, some out of country. this page is not meant to encourage use, especially in illegal countries, but to educate and to offer a foundation for if psychedelic medicine is ever legalized)
psychedelics work in many cases
especially for trauma, ocd, anxiety, grief, depression
2 types of mechanisms
physical/mechanical
psychedelics rewire and signal different parts of the brain in a unique way, which can physically change the structures that cause conditions like depression
philosophical/psychological
the experience of going through a psychedelic trip is a unique memory the user has, and reflecting on their experience can shape the way they view the world going forward
