I think that when it comes to these things, perhaps science will never come to a full sense of what the psychedelic experience. And maybe that's not a bad thing.:d

When it comes to science somehow proving that the experience is "real" I think that that is a bit of a pipe dream. Science has a hard time dealing with personal, subjective experiences like these.

I really think that this whole question of "is the experience real" is honestly the wrong question to be asking. Like I said, there might not ever be a scientifically satisfying answer to that question, and really, does it even matter? What is "real"

I think the psychedelic experience is a true mystery, and like any mystery, it can't be boxed in, defined or quantified, no matter how much we may want it.:d

This.

Also this.
