    The first time I tried psychadelics (shrooms) was literally the only time I had a good trip, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

    I’ve been chasing that high ever since and instead, I’ve gotten bad trips time after time to the point I can say I flat out do not like LSD and cannot even imagine how people can withstand an 8 hour battering ram on your brain.

    Concentrated depression and rumination for 8 hours, it fucking sucks for me.

      Imo shrooms go deeper but are easier to control the dose. LSD is not something you can identify on sight, so you never truly know what you’re getting until you start tripping. I’m on the wrong side of 35 to have a bunch of time for 12 hours down the rabbit hole. A gentle mushroom dose is a fantastic way for me to spend a day off cleaning and de-stressing
