We had drug prevention class (as a project week) in high school. One street worker guy just informed us, what is commonly used and what these drugs do, their dangers and safety precautions, if we decide to take them anyways. That was way better, and more effective, than the "drugs are bad"-speech the cop gave the other day.
LSD was the only one, that sounded somewhat intriguing to me. Never tried it, because I'm worried about bad trips and possible permanent damage. What is your take on that?
I'd recommend doing research before taking psychedelics. Erowid is still a great source.
The common phrase is " set and setting " and its true. If you're in a comfortable and familiar surrounding and your headspace is good, you will probably have a decent trip. Many times there will be a difficult period during the trip and that is part of the experience.
I'd also recommend mushrooms " psilocybin" as that is one of my favorites.
Also LSD last a long time, I love it but plan accordingly.

Thanks for the ressource.
Your perspective kind of reaffirms what I've heard about drug use in general from a plant-pharmacologist I once met on field trip in Central Asia. She pointed out, that drugs used to be tied into cultural practices and rituals, that also kept them in a specific setting and for specific purposes and attributed a lot of the problems to the mindless consumption we have today.
You also reaffirmed, that I'm better off abstaining from psychedelics, since I'm the antithesis to having a "good headspace". And I'd be pretty worried about what they could set loose.
