Another psychedelic relic here from the 60s. I was a frequent flyer for a couple of decades & really only had one “bad trip” & one over dose out of more than 100 experiences. I will say briefly that the first handful of experiences were the most fundamentally perspective & consciousness altering one’s. After awhile, when I knew what to expect, the trips became more routine. Sort of a been there, done that situation. At that point I stopped using as I felt that I had accomplished what I wanted. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I have taken more out of LSD than LSD has taken out of me. I feel that the psychedelic experience changed my life & perspective in a very positive way. I have no regrets only gratitude for the open doors of perception it allowed.

I have taken a small amount of LSD every weekend for about 3 years. In small amounts like half a tab it can give you unmatched gratitude, perspective and empathy for others. It can show you what you need to see within yourself and in the world around you

I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to heroin for over 16 years. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

[NicoleCtirad]

Lsd, dmt and psilocybin containing mushroom are amazing. I started drinking alcohol since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting alcohol addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

Psychedelic have the ability to induce profound altered states of consciousness

[larrydiaz]

Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back.
These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.

Depression and anxiety were the bane of my existence, I could not be productive working to support myself and my family, it was a very bad experience for me, I received referrals from a close friend to try LSD and when I tried LSD I was saved. my life, I started microdosing it and it changed my life for the better. I have never been so productive and relaxed in my life

[usernamesareforidiot]

I have taken LSD 7 times in the last 10 years and it has done wonders for my mental health every time. My first dose was approximately in the 25 mcg range. I didn't really know what to expect, but everything just felt very intense. Once I passed the peak of the trip, I found myself enjoying a video game like I never had before. About a month later, I tried something between the 50-100 mcg range. This had a profound effect on me. For the first time in decades, I felt connected to the world instead of feeling detached. For weeks after, I felt more present and eager to engage with life. I took walks, I went to my local coffee shop and chatted with people, and I started eating healthy.

LSD is hard to find, so those effects eventually wear off. I sincerely believe that a trip every 4-6 months would have a tremendous benefit to me. A decade later, I took LSD with the intention of examining and getting rid of bad habits. This lead me to quit smoking cigarettes and discontinue my habit of getting drunk every weekend.

LSD is certainly not for everyone, but it should without a doubt be available with a prescription.

I’ve been doing acid for 30 years… this is probably the most accurate description of acid I’ve ever seen on YouTube

It's encouraging to see rational, educational discussions about LSD, such as this episode and the documentary "How to Change Your Mind" on Netflix, which explores the therapeutic benefits of mind-altering substances like LSD, MDMA, psilocybin, and mescaline. I grew up in the era when government propaganda was aimed at inducing fear of using LSD, especially fear of flashbacks erupting without notice and severe breaks with reality. Nothing about "set and setting" and proper dosage. When Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act, they did a major disservice to patients who could have benefited tremendously from these drugs in a therapeutic setting.

[BradGryphonn]

I've dabbled with LSD for around forty years now. Certainly not regularly but when the opportunities arose. Other than my first time (that was a rollercoaster of fun) I've always gone into the experience being fully aware of what was happening to my brain. I found it easier to control any onset of paranoia or other negative emotions.
I'm really happy that LSD isn't addictive. If it was, I'd be wandering around in a rainforest following rainbow pixies, with old-school Pink Floyd playing in my head, lost in a never-ending haze of hallucinations.

[GranPaMark]

Old timer here (69) and I enjoyed both LSD and Psilocybin in the past. Still interested in trying Ayahuasca. Agree that environment is important to a good trip. I started panicking a bit once but had an older kid “talk me down”. I still believe it opened my eyes to other peoples social behavior, tho who knows if was imagined or not. Thanks Justin - Good Job as usual. 😊

[RyanMaerck]

I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatment Psilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms

[BobbyRussell-oroh]

Psychedelic LSD trips can be truly life-changing. It's amazing how they can bring about positive transformations and have a profound impact on our lives.

[raydavison]

I took LSD a couple of hundred times between 1970 and 1986. I never had a bad trip. I always thought of LSD as "brain candy" 😊.

[RiichArt]

Oh boy, this one's going to be interesting, I'm ready.

Shrooms are the safest recreational drug to take, it should be made available every where.

[christainleon]

For me LSD or shrooms is a great physical and mental reset. When i feel life is too monotonous or boring. Or the light of life is starting to dim. I feel LSD is a great restart to help you realize just how unique the human experience is. Mixed with nature it is most definitely a powerful eye opener to how connected all animals and plant life are. Its for sure an experience that changes ones perspective on things, mostly for the better

[nerfworthy]

I'm so grateful you guys are bringing this information to the masses in a thoughtful and factual manner.

Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychedelic and behavioral disorder.
