> Conversations you have in ecstasy often are very profound.

Often repeated for all kinds of drugs, MDMA, psychedelics, even marijuana users claim this. But in my experience conversations are universally banal and only seem profound.

> you may open up in ways you would not normally

To me, this sounds like a nightmare. The idea that something artificial could change me in any way. And the idea that people desire this is scary.

> You feel understood

Exactly, you feel understood without being understood.

> You seem very judgemental.

For exercising my right to not do something while recognizing the right of others to do it? Oh, the irony.
