self actualization in virtual reality.

IBM announced https://www.research.ibm.com/ibm-q/system-one/ which seems to be a proper quantum computer.

What I know about quantum computer is that it is good at simulating physical universe. Thus, virtual reality will be run in quantum computers.

Can a virtual reality simulate 5-MeO-DMT, though? Can it simulate a fancy place for solo retreat?

No, quantum computers will not run VR. They're good at simulating complex systems for research, but the actual running of VR is heavily graphics based. Normal computers are up to the task, it will just continue to get better.

Why would you want VR to simulate a psychedelic trip? For just the visuals? You know that the benefit of psychs comes from the change in mind state? 5-meo barely has any visuals.

Because 5-MeO-DMT would be almost free and abundant in VR. 5-MeO-DMT in VR doesn't have to be shipped, so governments won't be able to ban it.
