I definitely agree. After tripping on shrooms I decided to become a programmer. Best decision in my life.

Did the same thing without mushrooms. Am I at risk for becoming an enlightened homeless guy who will sleep on the streets for the rest of his life if I'll try mushrooms?

You might, but then it would be a conscious choice and you would be happy doing it. Don't judge your possible future self from your current selve's perspective.

I agree with just about everything you said, except the "in nature" part. Don't get me wrong, tripping in nature is awesome, maybe the best place to trip. But it isn't necessary and might not even be the best for your first time (depending on what you are doing). They real key is to not have too many stimuli out of your control, particularly having lots and lots of strangers around. Especially if you have to interact…

And please, get some trusty test kits. I've seen lsd blotters with 2C-I

Who has trusty kits? And would please explain more about 2C-I?

There is a lot going on in this article and I won't comment on all of it. I'll just address people who are perhaps curious about psychedelics. May I highly suggest that those wishing to experiment with psychedelics do it only in a place where you feel absolutely safe. That is, no risk of police, parents (if that is an issue), or neighbours to bother you. Additionally and I do think this is very important: in nature .…

Best advice I was ever given is that if the trip is going badly you should move your body to a different setting. It provides a nice reset should you have placed your mind somewhere that "you" do not feel comfortable with. I can't say I think that people should be recommending psychedelics because the experience is so extreme and so personal, it can be life altering. As with anything this "far out", the outcome could…

Any thoughts on microdosing as it related to your vitamin and meditation suggestions? https://hn.algolia.com/?query=microdosing&sort=byPopularity&...

Doesn't look like it stresses the psychedelic experience, but it should be less extreme.

new account, no support for these claims. This is not what most people oberve with psychedelics

The double suicide happened about 1986-1988 in Brantford Ontario. The Toronto Sun called it a "Death Party". It made the front page. I searched but my Google fu has failed me (or the news was never archived online in the first place). I'm not going to share the name of the other friend, for obvious privacy reasons.

OK fair enough, yet one example, and news media are the worst at accuracy about drugs.
