Psychedelics markedly increase creativity. …Prohibition, therefore, [hinders] the evolution of humanity.

The researchers had instructed the participants to select one or more problems related to their work which was in need of a creative solution. Many of these problems the subjects had been working on for weeks or months to no avail. After the creativity tests, they were given three to four hours to work on these problems. The results were astounding. The participants made significant headway on thirty-nine of the forty-four problems they brought to the session. And they weren’t deluding themselves; their solutions received external validation.
