We have, even today, unless something came out yesterday - NO scientific model for what psychadelics do to the brain. We do know that they can cause the contents of the brain to become permanently damaged. We suspect they may have some beneficial effects in unclear scenarios to specific brains. Thats it.

We do? Which psychedelics? How do they permanently damage the contents of the brain?

I wouldn't agree with the notion of brain damage at all (sounds like propaganda) but what I can think of is HPPD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_percep...

Right, but there is some real research going on, which was what the podcast was about.

As opposed to some dude doing it because he heard about it on the internet.
