I have been thinking a lot lately about why the psychedlic experience exists within the brain. I have heard shulgin speak on the topic, where he's talking about how its an ability of the brain totally contained within the brain and how drugs are only a facilitator. He speaks on how the psychedlic experience is not evolutionarily advantageous due to the fact that most animals/primitive humans would get killed if they were distracted by anything other than the immediate environment.
But yet, its there, buried deep within the mind. Why do you think its there if it serves no evolutionary purpose? If we follow the model of evolution, there seems to be no reason whatsoever for it to be there, thus it leads me to suspect that there must be something more, like god or something put it there and drugs are a gift from god. I'm a pretty staunch athiest and with a scientific background and tend to dismiss things like god usually. I holed on 3meo pcp yesterday and have been reconsidering things since. I have holed on mxe many times but it was years ago and I guess these thoughts fade after those experiences.
Why do you think the mind is able to do that?
