I've been learning more about these psychedelics and they seem to have good medical benefits but if anyone is looking for a psychedelic or spiritual breakthrough, similar breakthroughs have been achieved through things like kundalini yoga. Its the same as weight training vs steroids, but of course you can do both. You might not be ready or even know how to process your experience if you just take a drug. (I'm not talking about for medical purposes)

Kundalini awakenings can be just as harmful (if not MORE) as psychedelics awakenings without proper integration work. It always helps to work with a teacher or guide when traveling through a shadowy psyche.

Not disagreeing but clarifying that the big psychedelic medical studies also rely on integration work as it dramatically increases the value of the treatment. This I am paraphrasing from what I have learned from the Psychonauts podcast.
