What even was this article about? It reads like it is building up to something but then fails to deliver.

Studies conclude that set and setting is key in psychedelic therapy. So yes, priming is crucial and success depends on a lot of factors. But we already knew this. No one serious suggests psychedelics always work and always create a mystical experience in which all problems are solved.

This article does not add any more info on the question in the title "Can Psychedelic Experiences Really Improve Your Mental Health?". That's just clickbait.
