As a person that has used ~50 different psychoactive chemicals (Not including psychiatric meds), I can say that MUSIC.. Yes, music.. Is a very powerful drug. In fact, one of the most potent.

I was listening to a podcast that was talking about making music illegal at certain points in history - I forget what was said though.. But there is still music censorship that varies by country.

When I had terrible numbing anhedonia, all I could listen to was techno music with heavy repetitive beats. With the lyrics that were rarely in between, it had an ecstatic type quality about life. I was extremely depressed and alone, wanting a life that I could never have - Because there was something horribly wrong with me. I still can't explain what it exactly was.

Then once I healed, my listening branched out into every other genre like a spider web - Or mycelium.. Like after I swallowed the mush serotonin replacement chemical. Mixed with classic rock, it was so euphoric. Followed again by demonic energies - and once that passed, then a serotonin releaser.

It effected me so much that I started to learn playing guitar. My dad was amazed at what I was playing - So he gave me his guitar. It's worth like 10k dollars. 3 years ago, the friends I had who were teaching me guitar said that I learned so quickly that I would be better than them eventually - If I kept playing.. But I didn't.. I feel like I need inspiration again.. idk..

Serotonin is important.. Because music is repetitive.. Then the build up is dopaminergic. If u have too much dopamine already, I can see how the whole thing is just a lack of feeling anything.
