I am writing a book and interested in stories of conservatives who have used psychedelics for recreational, therapeutic, or general wellness purposes. I am looking for both positive and negative experiences they have had, and whether or not those experiences have helped them understand and pursue their conservative values better, or challenged them. I am also interested in stories about conservatives that belong to an organized religion and how their psychedelic experiences have strengthened or weakened their faith.

Psychedelics generally affirm beliefs. There's tons of anecdotes where people tried to "cure" monotheism with drugs and the subjects came out as stronger believers.
