Are psychadelics really THAT powerful?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Without a doubt, yes.

I mean you can't force anyone to think what you want them to, as in it's not some extremely suggestible state that makes people compliant and obedient.

But what it does is essentially make you more able to change your opinion. An openness of mind. And right wing rhetoric is very close minded. So making a right winger open minded usually results in them turning to the left.

Despite his strong connections to the right wing crowd, even Rogan is pretty leftist when it comes to the policies he actually supports, despite being a poorly educated steroid-abusing American meathead.

If you're bipolar or predisposed to things, yes!

TBH I think it's takes much stronger drugs to be compliant.

No, I think ppl who say that stuff are full pf shit.

I've tried shrooms, ket, and lsd with a bunch of ppl and I'll let you know, most of those cunts just keep cunting.

It depends a ton on the person, and much more importantly how/if they integrate their experience into their day to day lives (see: great, you've experienced yourself as a node in a larger fabric of humanity. How are you going your act next week when the drugs have worn off and you're back in the office? What's your plan?)

I'd wager not a ton of people really do the work involved with that second part.
