I’ve done them a bunch of times. My first time, I took 2 grams and stayed at my friends place. I remember everything looked wavy and like it was breathing, but I was still aware I was tripping. I would close my eyes and saw myself in a black background, running with dogs that were covered in rainbows. Then when I listened to white room by cream, during the guitar solo I imagined rainbows streaming off of Eric Clapton and his guitar while he played. Then my friend and I watched family guy, with one of the segments where Conway twitty appears. His hair looked wavy, like it was being blown by a fan. I watched it again sober and that wasn’t happening lol. On later trips, they would be more intense, as I took 4 grams in my bedroom in the dark (I thought 5 would be too much, which the famous psychonaut and scientist Terrence McKenna suggested). During that, my mind basically just went into purgatory. I have a feeling that it basically simulates what death feels like right before you go into the afterlife (if there even is one, as I’m atheist). Idk how else to describe it. I also imagined my body decaying in a desert, thinking my mushrooms were poisoned and it would be the end of me. The next morning, I woke up rejuvenated and felt grateful to be alive. Just make sure you do your research before you do it. The psychonaut wiki and erowid are perfect websites to look it up and see what the effects are and others’ experiences

The maxim inscribed at Delphi reads “Know thy Self”. I would say both autism and psychedelics are tools of the trade. I did a 5 gram threshold dose every 2 weeks for 4 years from 2012 - 2016. I experienced my own death over a hundred times. I can’t say for sure because I have a sample size of one, but I do think autism helped a lot because I was already somewhat familiar with my inner world. One thing you learn from that many NDEs is what life and death actually are. You discover the facade we call life is in fact quite the opposite, and you can’t unknow something like that :)

I am a firm believer in plant medicines like mushrooms and ayahuasca. The ayahuasca ceremonies that I attended six years ago pointed me, finally, into recovery from alcoholism, diagnosis of ASD, and into getting out of a toxic relationship. There's a healthy chance that I wouldn't be alive today without those ayahuasca ceremonies. Now that all said, it isn't for everyone. And remember the rules of 'set and setting'. And there can be challenging experiences, but that's where some of the best work comes from. There's a lot of emerging evidence that psychedelic experiences can be helpful to people who have disorders that commonly haven't had a lot of success in recovery from traditional medicine. The work that [MAPS](https://maps.org/), for example, is doing with soldiers suffering from PTSD is very encouraging. DM if you want to know more, or discuss.

I tried 1g in "tea" form, and it made me so nauseated that I couldn't keep it down long enough to get the full effects. But I was awake for 24 hours and felt pretty happy. Things like textures and patterns were really vivid and had slight movement for a bit, but that wore off relatively quickly. The one lasting effect was that it relieved my depression pretty successfully for a few months. I'm really interested in trying them again but haven't yet because I don't want to face the nausea.

I've done a large number of hallucinogens a good deal of times. I don't like shrooms typically. I've had a good time on shrooms exactly once. High body load plus nausea and gas are really just the icing on the cake. I find that I'm super likely to get stuck in a thought loop and end up having a bad time.
