Have you ever tried entheogens?

I think that a study like this would only be useful as giving information that would help indicate  areas that would benefit from a serious study.  Even if you're only in high school, I think that maybe your teacher could help you with setting up a scientific hypothesis.  It's important when doing research that you don't assume what results you're going to get before you get them.  In my experience, most people who use psychedelics could be classified as "failures" by the establishment.  That most of the ones I know made a conscious decision to not buy into the establishment, means that whether or not they'd be considered "failures" would depend on your definition and point of view.  I don't really think that kids should experiment with psychedelics, tbh.  I did a lot of LSD many years ago, and I still have some side effects from it.  It actually took a couple of years after I quit before I could even speak a whole sentence normally again.  Drug use didn't actually affect my ability to go back to school and get a degree in mathematics, but a large percentage of the hippies I had hung out with in the '80s were dead by the time I went back to school in '93.  Most of the rest had criminal convictions that would preclude them from having a successful career within the establishment.  Only a handful of us made it through in one piece.  Usually where you find one set of drugs, the others are nearby as well.  Though most of my experiences with psychedelics were very good (as I tended to drop acid at Grateful Dead concerts), it only takes one bad trip to make one not want to deal with them again.
