Psychedelics


I've always wanted to try LSD but I'm kinda worried how it will affect me. I have a friend who is really into that stuff and she has promised to be my guide when I try it. Any experiences here? What should I expect?

Here's the thing about LSD. Nowadays, it's hard to say if what you're getting is real legit acid. There are so many drugs and research chemicals that can be absorbed onto a piece of paper. So that's important to keep in mind. Maybe investing in a drug testing kit would be wise before taking it.

But I've dropped acid twice, and I can definitely say that it was the most intense psychedelic drug I've ever done. A very unforgettable experience. It's difficult to say what you should expect cause results may vary. All I can is that you should be mentally prepared, don't mix any drugs with it, get plenty of sleep ahead of time, eat a light non greasy meal beforehand, and having someone you can turn to in case of an emergency is also a good idea. Now I personally am not a fan of trip guides. I don't like the idea of someone dictating or influencing my experience. But that's up to you. That's some of my solid advice. Be safe, have a nice trip, and have fun.

the new netflix doc series 'the mind explained' has a short episode on the use of psychedelics in therapy & treatment of depression. it's very short, doesn't go into a lot of detail, but it's a good little introduction if anyone's interested.

Everybody should do it at least once, unless they are very frail mentally. It alters your perceptions and your sense of self, and thus you may learn to know yourself a little bit better.

I had a few trips in my youth. All I did was laugh for hours. Never hallucinated. It was 20 years ago though, things could be made differently these days.
