how do mushrooms and LSD work?

465 views

I’ve never understood how they make people see things. Same thing with ayahuasca. Obviously, there’s some sort of chemical reaction within our brain like with any drug, but what about these makes us see things that aren’t there? Also, how does our brain create so many realistic images in front of us without them being real?

No one really knows. I remember reading that even drugs that are approved for brain issues such as mental illness are just a best guess. The makers don’t fully understand why they work, they simply seem to work consistently enough to get fda approval.
It’s going to be a scary time in human history if anyone actually figures out how the brain really works.
A lot of advances will be made but the potential for abuse will be high
