Sounds a bit like what you're saying there

I read that too. Its used (or was used) somewhere for marriage therapy also as it lets people open up more than they otherwise would. You lose your filter. So everything comes out. Oddly, I seem to have now kinda permanently lost my filter with certain people (and even situations, I suddenly have no issue dancing in public, which I never thought I would say) and its made everything much better?! Its so so hard to explain but I really feel like I am changed for the better now and everything is so much easier.

Not encouraging anyone to take drugs by any stretch of the imagination however I cannot deny my experience tbh.

(Also maybe relevant, I had LOADS of life changes at the same time as this. So its possible the drugs only contributed slightly, or not at all. But it all seems kind of tied in together, a chicken and egg situation if you will)
