A tab of LSD is just about 5 bucks and one of my best experiences and fondest memories.
That's more like a try once or twice with people you trust than let's do that shit every weekend sort of drug. Or am I wrong?
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.
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?
