Psychedelic drugs, including LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline, have been used in religious ceremonies and tribal healing rituals for centuries, but only recently has their potential to treat mental health conditions been studied by psychologists. Psychedelic drugs have been used for spiritual enlightenment and healing for thousands of years, as humans have long been aware of their ability to take us beyond our physical selves and connect us with something greater.
Researchers studying psychedelic drugs and their effects on the human brain have not yet explained why and how these drugs work.
The assumption is that they change neurotransmitter levels in the brain.
This causes the brain to be loosely explained as “reset” and have a new perspective with the help of an unusual, mystical experience.
