Fuck that drug. I'm currently on 37.5mg every 4 days in an effort to taper down to nothing. I feel nothing but sympathy for those who have been taking 150mg+ daily doses, I was only on 75mg a day for a couple weeks before I thought it prudent to read stories of the drug online, which terrified me and pointed out some of the same effects I had been having but had assumed was coincidental. I took cold medicine with DXM…

Here's a great guide to coming off of psychiatric drugs — http://theicarusproject.net/HarmReductionGuideComingOffPsych... Good luck!

Thanks, I'll give it a read!

Castaneda was a fraud. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Castaneda#Reception http://www.amazon.com/The-Antipodes-Mind-Phenomenology-Exper... It's rigorous. It has tabular data. It's about ayahuasca phenomenology. Why is it that so few here actually research psychedelics seriously?

In the western world, researching psychedelics is a sure way to end one's scientific career. That's why.

I meant research in the sense of careful, systematic study both academic and experiential. I did not mean public, experimental research.
