This theoretical review examines how psychedelics may lead to false insights and beliefs by connecting experimental work on false memories with insights under psychedelics using the active inference framework. It suggests that psychedelics increase the quantity and intensity of insights, which could include false beliefs, and proposes future research directions to minimize such risks while maximizing therapeutic potential.
