[Opgelost] Which has a stronger impact on emotional bonding and empathy, MDMA or shrooms?

MDMA is generally known to have a stronger and more immediate impact on emotional bonding and empathy compared to psilocybin ("shrooms"). Here's why:

1. MDMA: It’s often described as an empathogen because it reliably boosts feelings of trust, closeness, and emotional warmth. MDMA increases the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and oxytocin, which play a key role in fostering social connection and bonding.
2. Psilocybin (Shrooms): While psilocybin can also promote a sense of interconnectedness and lead to profound, mystical insights, its effects tend to be more introspective. It may indirectly enhance feelings of empathy through a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s connection to others, but it doesn't have the same targeted, immediate bonding effects as MDMA.

So, in terms of directly enhancing emotional bonding and empathy in a session, MDMA typically has a stronger and more consistent effect.
