A spider is like a gram of bug guts and you’re 300 pounds of blubber. What is the problem?

How could going into a black hole on shrooms or DMT impact the experience?

6 Upvotes

I know it’s technically impossible to reach a black hole with modern technology. But if somehow we were able to reach one and someone volunteered to enter it would their experience be any different than if they were sober entering? For example, if they went into a black hole on DMT and shrooms so they would be in a different state of mind when they enter, as they are being dissolved, would the experience likely be any different than if someone who was sober entering a black hole? Could the pain be processed differently or the visuals around them be interesting and maybe even alter how long it feels for them to be near the black hole, although they would still die.
