Psychonautics

The field of study which relates to spending time exploring the universe right inside one's own head. Usually with drugs/yoga/meditation. These people are on a quest to discover the self, and usually can be considered "realists".
Psychonautics (from the Ancient Greek ψυχή psychē 'soul, spirit, mind' and ναύτης naútēs 'sailor, navigator')1 refers both to a methodology for describing and explaining the subjective effects of altered states of consciousness, including those induced by meditation or mind-altering substances, and to a research cabal in which the researcher voluntarily immerses themselves into an altered mental state in order to explore the accompanying experiences.

Female psychonaut

You don't hear about them often just like you don't hear about a female version of Kurt Cobain or a female gun(wo)man too often why, because most females are afraid to look like failures to other people, and because they are afraid to look like failures to other people, they are afraid of failure itself. Most females would rather become an astronaut than a psychonaut any day because they don't want their family calling them a loser, especially not their mother.
The female psychonaut wanted to give the male rock stars a run for their money, so she OD'ed on heroin to kill herself at 27, since that seemed to be the magic number. She thought her death would be more tragic than the deaths of male rock stars because she could have had babies and now she never would, but actually people had about the same reaction, as she was just another human like the males were, and her death was more of an ordinary event than a true tragedy. It wasn't earth shattering sadness people felt for her.
