Do Psychedelics Cause Irreparable Psychological Damage?

WELL, my brain doesn’t think so, but then again that’s probably because it’s been irreparably damaged by psychedelics.

That’s anecdotal, though, so shall we discuss what studies have found to be true about psilocybin’s effects on the brain?

We shall. Psilocybin…

1. Increases Neuroplasticity
2. Boosts Connectivity Between Brain Regions
3. Decreases Activity in the Default Mode Network
4. Enhances Emotional Processing
5. Promotes Serotonin Receptor Activation
6. Reduces Inflammation
7. Helps "Reset" the Brain
8. Promotes Childlike Wonder and Openness
9. Assists in Anxiety and Fear Reduction

Call me old fashioned, but that all sounds like the kind of psychological damage we could all use, ya know?
