I have had a few opportunities to ingest hallucinatory substances for recreational purposes in which i have denied due to my father being a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic whom ingested his fair share of cocaine and various other drugs in his day and which made me cautious of taking anything that might induce said mental illness but i am still quite curious as to what it is like to trip and such. do yall think i should try it or stay away from the stuff?

Draw a line and stick with it. My line is anything i have to sniff or inject, or anything which might be cut with something else.

only you should be the one to answer this question.

if you RESPECT the substance, turn it into an entheogen, have faith. and truly believe.....
you will one day realize what I speak of.

You will always come back to reality after the duration of the substance is over.

Give yourself a clean mindset before/during/after tripping. Clean your mind of all negative thoughts.
Remember your a sane individual tripping and enjoying the high :] If a bad trip happens remember everything will be normal soon.

I say do it, but be cautious with the amount ingested. What substance are you going to be consuming?
There's time when I take a drug I feel like I'm going insane/paranoid feeling I will never return to my sane normal self again but those are usually bad trips... and Surprisingly weed triggers it most of the time
Good luck, be safe :)

In my life I have known two people who were permanetly broken by halucenogenic substances. Neither had any sort of family history of mental disorders. I will say however that (in hindsight) we could tell that there was something wrong with them from the age of about 16. We cannot know if they would not have fractured all by themselves without a chemical push given a bit more time. I would find out from your friends if they think that you have any odd sorts of tendancies and if they honestly say no, push ahead carefuly. I think you might be more in danger if given chemicals are in the compulsive stimulating sort of families.

Make sure that whoever is with you is a) aware of your concerns, and b) big enough to tackle and hold you down for your safety if needed.

Its a rule I apply even to myself with things like mushrooms and acid these days... then again, I've always been nuts I think, there is a reason for the mad scientist stereotype...

Tonight I'm building an RIAA amp for an old record player from like 1970 or something, which I fixed this weekend, just about to drop the copper boards in the acid....

I was afraid to try hallucinogens for a very similar reason. My uncle did lots of acid and shrooms, and he just so happens to be nuts.

One of my friends trips very frequently, and he has some mental health issues as well.

After trying shrooms several times and acid once, I have come to this conclusion: Hallucinatory substances have the potential to unlock your minds true state. I mean if you have mental health issues, they may become more apparent. At the same time, these substances have the ability to unlock true happiness.

I took acid last weekend, and during the weeks prior I found myself feeling anxious and slightly depressed at times. During and after my acid trip, however, I was thinking about what was making me feel anxious and depressed. I was able to realize that my problems are nothing more than concern over nothing.

Even today, I feel wonderful. My mood has improved drastically, and my Outlook on things is way more optimistic, including the things that upset me previously.

My advice would be to trip. If you come out of the trip feeling down or depressed, talk to someone about these issues. I was considering counseling before I tripped, but things that seemed overwhelming now appear simple and easy to deal with.


Hope this helps!

to be honest i think any one who knowingly ingest stuff of this nature may be a little nuts to begin with... thus the enjoyment from it.
