Yes, that’s makes sense. When I get really happy or excited I’ll stim. When I drank the cordyceps tea, it was similar to being high, but my body and mind were calmer. Same effect with Tulsi tea. I know Tulsi tea has linalool in it. which is also in Marijuana. When I drink Tulsi or Cordyceps tea, it feels like my vision and brain are in a bubble, or I’m looking through a fishy eye lens if that makes sense. What I’m hoping, is that adaptogens just block certain receptors and aren’t really changing the brain at all.
The long term is what I’m slightly concerned about.
