And if you block the serotonin effect that contracts muscles, for example, causing miscarriages in pregnancy or premature delivery, if there's too much serotonin, as well as hypertension of pregnancy and so on, the anti-serotonin agencies are protected on the level of consciousness, too. Serotonin constricts limits perspectives, and LSD, by blocking that, tends to restore perspectives. In excess, LSD creates too many imaginary perspectives, but it illustrates the negative effect on consciousness of too much serotonin. Calcification goes with contraction and micro-blood vessel damage in aging and stress is one of the things too much serotonin does.
