Psychedelics are often associated with disconnecting from reality, but a recent neuroimaging study found that psilocybin can actually make our brain activity more connected to the world around us.

    Because of this your brain is forced to use different pathways rather than continuing to entrench your current ones - quite literally getting you out of a rut.

    It was as you said, quite literally like that in my experience the first time taking shrooms with a friend. We were getting me out of a very deep rut/early grave and I don’t think it would’ve been possible without tripping combined with an intelligent friend who gave a shit.
