The topic that I want to do are hallucinogens. The reason I want to do this is because different types of hallucinogens have been used throughout all of history and different cultures, and I want to dive in and read about peoples experiences with all types of the drugs. I was recently reading a Harvard research article that came to the conclusion that when you are on psilocybin, the active chemical in shrooms, the areas in your brain that are triggered are very much the same if not EXACTLY the same as a spiritual experience. Very interesting.
I am not sure where this topic will lead me. But as I am very interested in psychology I assume I will end up diving deep into how different hallucinogens effect the brain. I also would like to see how cultures used hallucinogens for spiritual purposes, and the experiences they had.
