        It depends on you. Some people get therapeutic benefit from regular psychedelic experiences, and never stop. Other people gain life-changing insights from one or several trips. Still others use/abuse it purely for fun, with a range of consequences resulting. A minority of people have adverse reactions where latent mental illnesses like schizophrenia can be triggered.

        I’m in the second camp. A couple quotes that I relate to: “Once you get the message, hang up the phone” – Alan Watts. “Never point [psychedelics] at anything you don’t want perforated with new light”-- Terence McKenna.

              Thank you, the good news is I’ve never touched drugs at all, because I already know that it would send me into psychosis because I have predisposition to such problems, family history and delicate psychological condition.

              So everything I do is intentionally extremely healthy and my life is very boring and I can’t do anything fun but that’s my life.

      I’ve been interested in psychedelics, but I’m scared I’ll open a Pandora’s box and then it’ll be everyone’s problem. What’s it like?
