"Some people who've taken a lot of psychedelics tend to all too easily believe in conspiracy theories and to reject mainstream science. Thus I know too many people who believe in chemtrails, 9/11 as a conspiracy, are anti-vaccination, anti-fluoridation, etc." [1]

Coincedence that some people who took a lot of psychedelics end up as gullible as children?

I for the contrary can say otherwise: most of people I've met who's taken a lot of beer and religion tend to believe more in conspiracy theories and reject science - psychedelic users are the contrary.


I think the key words in the quote from Scully are "some people" and "a lot of psychedelics".

Of course it's also purely anecdotal, but within the Psychedelic Trance scene I see far more people than I am comfortable with who took a lot of acid and end up deep in the rabbit hole of conspiracy nonsense.
