How to create psychedelics' benefits without the 'trip'

It is a sad goal, not only because of the loss of enjoyment, but also because the &quot;trip&quot; is a significant part of what brings the benefits.<p>The introspective experience of viewing oneself, and one&#x27;s relation to the rest of the world, from a unique perspective, is a key part of what brings the benefits.<p>The other, unmentioned, benefit of making a custom version of a common pharmaceutical chemical, is the ability to then patent the result. Thus granting the &quot;inventor&quot; a near permanent exclusive right to the drug.

Which is a sad goal, given that tripping is enjoyable for the vast majority of trippers.
