Psychedelic Mind

LSD hyper-activates the brain's network for storing and relating concepts. This causes the mind to be flooded with connected ideas, leading to mistakes where someone might say a related but incorrect word. This isn't just random noise; it's a specific effect on language centers like Wernicke's area. The phenomenon offers a unique window into how our brains build meaning.
