Why do people on psychedelics often obsess over free will and whether it exists?

Because the part of you which is having the psychedelic experience doesn’t have any free will, but it’s very hard for it to accept it and surrender to something beyond. So in psychedelic experiences the endless rumination on the topic of “Who am I and do I have free will?” is very common. It just arises from the experience that there is something beyond which psychedelics can bring in its utter undeniability.
