This could explain your laid back attitude AND your bodys desperation to get something very harmful and foreign out of its system.

I do have a bit of an overbite (I forget the percentage the dentist told me, like 15% or something?), so... I mean, I don't feel like I'm suppressing anything...I do know that on psilocybin mushrooms, I got very very aware of my upper jaw. I actually had to put my mouthguard in because my hand would be all up in my mouth checking out my upper teeth and playing with the roof of my mouth and I couldn't get enough of it (what is all of this?! And hey, it feels nice to chomp and grind, nomnom! teeth are a strange part of me!) Had similar experience first time experiencing marijuana (hey my jaw is missing, ahhh!!)It's not like I go into these things thinking about my mouth, you know? And yet it crops up during these times when I'm kinda not thinking straight (alcohol my mouth has never come up though).

I would add the that there can also be a problem in the occlusion of the teeth. If they do not fit well onto each other, for instance if a filling is too high or the teeth are moving through the jaw, unconsciously people want to create harmony again. Unfortunately there are not many dentists who really understand the science of occlusion and articulation. Good points. I would add the that there can also be a problem in the occlusion of the teeth.
