Just go eat a bunch of psilocybin and report back OP
LSD connects parts of your brain that you haven't used or haven't been connected together since childhood.
Now while this doesn't always lead to good experiences it cured my severe depression for around 12 months. I woke up feeling generally happy for the first time in a decade.
Luckily these chemicals are gradually being legalized for study and should lead to some amazing therapeutic applications.
Objective unclear, ate penicillin and created a bacterium capable of speech.
On a more serious note…I gotta find some psilocybin.
This is the way.
I’d advise against suggesting that people should take psychedelics honestly. I know some people who have had their depression cured with psychedelics, and others who have come away from trips traumatized and scarred by false realities that their brains made up. It’s a strange thing.
