My only criticism here is that Ketamine is the devil and, IMO, no one should take that trash. It's like some evil being tried to make its own shitty version of psilocybin but it's just corrupted and evil. It's addictive and does not help you the way psilocybin does. I have been trying to get a friend off it for a while but he can't. He's addicted to it and it hasn't done shit for his anxiety.
Psilocybin on the other hand is amazing. Saved my life when prescription drugs where making me suicidal. Changed my life for the better and I've used it to help several other friends of mine. Idk much about DMT but I hear good things.
And yeah, these things should be treated like medicine, not some recreational thing. I have a friend out once a year. We sit under a tree and look out at a field and trip. We don't talk or anything. Just sit and meditate on life for 3 hours or so. My mental health has been so much better since we started this ritual.
Anecdotally I've heard extremely positive things about assisted ketamine therapy/solo trips and severe depression. And in terms of risks it's similar to psilocybin, generally safe and not addictive (test your powders for fentanyl). But I kinda get your sentiment and ultimately agree. Mushrooms are better and more accessible as a foray into using drugs to treat stuck brains. Especially if you're doing it on your own. If anything you just get to spend much longer with your unfiltered thoughts.
