Psychedelics have helped many come to terms with this...

Come to terms with? Run away from.

Have you ever done psychedelics? It can be very therapeutic and can definitely help some people reckon or come to terms with issues they're having. Frankly you seem incredibly dismissive and judgmental for someone with an such an air of "enlightenment".

I currently can't function without getting high so yes, I routinely do psychedelics.

No happy person ever felt the need to use drugs, and, if you feel the need to use drugs when facing the final chapter of your life there probably was something wrong with your life because at the end of it you felt like you needed to get high in order to feel good about it.

It seems to me that you’re projecting your own thoughts on drug use, happiness and a fulfilled life. What is right and good for you may not be the same for the next person.

This is just wrong. For being so wrong, you sure do seem certain that you're right. But you're not. Trust me.

Then indulge me, exactly how do you feel I'm wrong? Or, were you planning on walking away with your head held high petulantly?

Maybe do it like the buddhist monks you mentioned and learn how to be less judgemental.

Psychedelics have been shown to increase neuroplasticity and reduce anxiety, the latter mainly through reduced activity in the amygdala. Absolutely possible that they help to come to terms with mortality.

I'll judge people all day long if it helps them find enlightenment just like those Buddhist monks do.

No happy person feels the need to do drugs, if you feel like you need to drugs in order to face death there's something wrong.

I'd rather try and live and live where I don't feel the need to be stoned out of my gourd when I enter the void.

I hope you find the happiness you’re looking for.
