Ayahuasca helped me quit drinking. I was drinking 12-15 40ml servings of liquor per night for about 10 years. Tried to quit 4 times on my own, but always wound up giving in to the cravings again. I could feel death approaching, and decided to try Ayahuasca as a last ditch effort in 2022. I’ve been sober ever since, without even the slightest desire to drink. I also started a daily meditation practice, stopped prioritizing money over people, and stopped eating meat.

It completely changed my life, to put it mildly.

Shrooms really helped me see the path to shedding my depression and anxiety.

Still not perfect, but it's a huge improvement.

What even was this article about? It reads like it is building up to something but then fails to deliver.

Studies conclude that set and setting is key in psychedelic therapy. So yes, priming is crucial and success depends on a lot of factors. But we already knew this. No one serious suggests psychedelics always work and always create a mystical experience in which all problems are solved.

This article does not add any more info on the question in the title "Can Psychedelic Experiences Really Improve Your Mental Health?". That's just clickbait.

Sure, but those who focus on pretense are not going to learn from it.
