Honestly though hallucinogens really need to be more mainstream. Acid completely changed my outlook on life and give me a perspective of life and myself I would never have gotten through therapy or any other depression suppressants.
It’s also cheap as balls if you find a good plug. 10 bucks for an all day ticket is wild you just have to be with someone you trust with your life who won’t fuck with you.
There are people trying pretty hard to make that happen though mostly in the context of supervised medical interventions.
Which I’m here for - while a lot of people do OK, (fantastically even) with less structured psychedelic experiences, many do not. A really bad trip can do a number on you, sometimes for a long while.
I would suggest growing your own mushrooms as the safest way to be sure they are tainted, it’s pretty easy (the hardest part is keeping things sterile) and you can grow quite a bit at once in a small footprint. In my jurisdiction it’s not even illegal so long as you destroy the final product upon maturity.
Destruction of the final product is also very easy, there are some strong chemicals capable of breaking it down in your own stomach.
Agreed, doesnt work for everyone tho. I’ve done acid a couple times and it didn’t really change anything for me, other than the actual effects at the time. Perhaps it gave me a slightly larger understanding of the situation we’re all in and how the future is likely to look, but that already weighed on my mind heavily and just makes me sad.

Let’s not forget that acid can be dangerous, I’m still recovering from a traumatic experience I had with acid 10 years ago, I still get flashbacks and panic attacks due to it. I also stopped smoking weed because it would trigger the flashbacks.

I had this years ago after a series of bad trips (the common denominator turned out to be the presence of a certain person, then things got better). Anyway, hope you can get through to the other side.

I will never forget the time I did twice as much acid as I intended and it ended up being a heroic dose complete with ego death and everything - not fun. Now I’m very cautious and typically only do microdoses.
