People really overthink drugs.

You don't need anything more than psilocybin and some weed from time to time.

Anything else is just unnecessary noise and introduces vulnerabilities to your Fortress of Mind.

Backdoor here, trapdoor here, tunnel there. Before you know it, your psyche collapses under all the brain neuroplasticity. Mind cannot form any shape at all.

Truly terrible thought so be careful my people. Don't malleableize yourself into a goo.

I’ve used both a lot.

It’s inaccurate to frame weed and psilo as “necessary”.

YMMV by person, their neurochemistry, and their living environment. I need a stimulant for my specific biology to adapt to modern expectations.

FYI, you're arguing with a petty psychopath who will threaten your life when she inevidibly loses an argument because the facts and evidence are not on her side.

I’m genuinely interested to know more about this lore you seem to possess.

Also, you’re nerd-famous, this is the highlight of my week.

hmmm; I really don’t feel like I need weed or shrooms from time to time. I’m ok the way I am.

The part I'm struggling with is where "neuroplasticity" turns into "your psyche collapses". That sounds more like a metaphor than an actual mechanism

You don't need any of them. And that's your personal taste and isn't universal.

If you've only experienced those two then it's like you're sticking to black and white when there's a whole spectrum of other colours out there you're just discarding with no particularly good rationale. Plus you can screw yourself up with psilocybin and weed perfectly adequately.
