psycholytic

meaning "mind loosening" originating from psychotherapeutic use of certain psychedelic or psychotropic substances to allow for increased engagement in the therapeutic process.
In 1986, within a different cultural background, MDMA was scheduled throughout the world. Psychotherapeutic use of MDMA and all research with the drug were forbidden worldwide until 1988, when the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health granted special permission to several specialists in psychiatry and psychotherapy working in private practice to conduct psychotherapy with MDMA. Permission was also granted for the use of LSD. The Swiss researchers were all members of the Swiss Medical Society for Psycholytic Therapy, a society founded in 1985 with the goals of promoting psycholytic psychotherapy as a psychotherapeutic method and training qualified therapists.

Guy 1 "I think we should bum Guy 3 ragged."
Guy 2 "I dunno man, that's not right"
*Guy 1 starts bumming Guy 3*
*Guy 2 joins in and skull fucks Guy 3*
Guy 3 "So this is group psychosis?! How fun! Let's swap ends!!*
