    Nope strong psychedelics are mandatory now.

    But seriously I am not by any means advocating psychedelics as any sort of solution to anything. My own experiences with psychedelics have not always been good and if folks don’t think it’s right for them they should absolutely trust that feeling.

      I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

      I didn’t really develop a personality of my own until I went balls deep into psychedelics and dissociatives in my 20’s, and even then it wasn’t until I started having “bad” experiences. That first bad LSD trip was rough, but it changed how I saw myself and my place in the world in a fundamental way. So many molecules, so many memories.

        I can deeply relate with this! The most extreme “bad” trip I ever had completely changed the way I saw my life.

        I was headed down a bad road, and had become content with my shitty lot in life. That trip made me face the fact that I was unhappy and was going to continue become more and more unhappy until I did something about it.

        Over a decade later, I am much happier with myself and my environment. Thank you LSD! You changed me life!

      I’m sure there are plenty of good ways to get high, I smoked a lot of weed back in the day but I’d rather just be completely sober now.

      I spent 32 years of my life sleeping horribly, my brain literally doesn’t tell my lungs to breathe, I got a CPAP at 32 and for the first time felt truly awake. It was probably the most clarifying feeling I’ve ever felt in my life. I don’t think I want to fuck with my brain now that I have it operating about as good as it ever will.
