It's been pretty well established data that many psychedelics promote neuritogenesis. If drugs weren't illegal so we could study all of them and figure out why, we would have such a better understanding of medicine for the brain. Combined with brain scanning. Instead, we spend billions every year to have GP ask "how you feelin today?" then throw whatever ssri they've been told work for that type of not happy works. And if that one doesn't work try this other one.
The entire system is so fucked that I know it won't get fixed in my lifetime.
