The article bases the discovery on an assumption that I guess I’m unfamiliar with, that shrooms make your brain chaotic. In my experience, shrooms just change the way I am perceiving things. Part of the affect is that it dulls the some of the function in your brain to know what is novel and what is well understood. So it makes sense that you would be more engaged with the world around you if everything is new.
