We take a kid from from Iran and we throw him to a new planet with an alien civilization that is a hundred thousand years more advanced than humanity with teleportation devices and weird hovering technology and telepathic communication abilities and all sorts of crazy stuff, they figured out how to make their bodies immortal. Right so all this crazy stuff that they figured out from the wildest Science-fiction movies. We plop a kid from Iran into that for a day and then we bring him back. That's a little bit more what it's like to take a psychedelic.

Also serious correction, Mandela was not the single leader of fighting apartheid in South Africa. As journalists you need to use proper facts for goodness sake. He is only the most famous leader because again media made him so but there were many more influencial people that fought against apartheid and many more people who are better leaders than he was that just don't get public recognition. Read books and do proper research for goodness sake.
