I 100% support a chemical existence to block awareness of how shitty the world is. It can be difficult to find the right balance between chemicals and real-life, but it can be done. Not Elon-levels of k-holes on the regular, but occasional drugs and regular alcohol can compliment a successful life.
Plus mushroom trips on major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Xmas.
Been planning on trying DMT for a while now. Me and my buddy (who is way more experienced) have agreed to do it together, with his girlfriend as trip sitter.
It'll be my first psychedelic, but I can't really try any of the others, as I have to be able to respond pretty quickly in emergency, in case my mom needs me, and the others all last hours. I'm excited and terrified.
