People with low well-being report positive outcomes after psychedelics

“The present study sought to assess under which emotional (set) and environmental (setting) circumstances psychedelic users consume such substances.”

This study in no way even seems to purport that people who are depressed (or “with low well-being” per the WHO test) benefit from any of these drugs.

Instead, it proves (supports, reaffirms, etc.) that, based upon the individual’s initial state of well being, those with a lower well being benefit more than those with an initially higher well being.

In other words: if you feel like crap, you will feel better, overall, than someone who already feels fine does.

Of course it also has some interesting stats about in which environments they took which drugs, not that we haven’t kind of known those all along.

This article doesn't really explain what "positive outcomes" mean. Like, are they happier for that instance? Or do they end up changing their outlooks because of that one experience? Or is it necessary to continuously take the drugs? A lot of questions here...

Sure sounds better than "suffering people report drugs make them feel good" huh

Unrelated maybe, but I find it highly ironic that the recent legalization of marijuana where I live coincides with my utter lack of enjoyment of it. I’ve tried enough products from the dispensaries and... whatever I loved about it in college just isn’t available to me now. Leaves me cranky, groggy, and with a bad headache.
