The bottom line here is what psychedelic medicine does to enhance neuroplasticity. It opens a window of opportunity for therapeutic work, giving the mind a break from tightly held, long held patterns. Psychedelics turn down the default network, and enhance the ability to now consciously choose thoughts and actions.
