Friend of mine took a shitload of shrooms in Yucatan w her boyfriend 20 years ago. He came down and was fine.

She's still on a locked ward at CAMH. Those shrooms triggered full-on latent bipolar.

I'm not understanding this study at all. When my friends would go and do acid in school they would sometimes be tripping out and telling me that it looks like things are destroyed and scary around them. In fact one of my old classmates went on an acid binge that got him hospitalized in a USA psychiatric hospital because he went off the deep end .Perhaps they mean in much more smaller doses and regulation of the acid instead of the hit they did back then. This one girl would start drawing a picture being on acid and the theme was flowers with blood dripping down all around. They are too lien ant oaths anxiety cur. Pot is supposed to take away anxiety too however I can't smoke pot iit causes me anxiety.
Weed triggers schizo, dude. Well known to shrinks and those who associate with them - willingly or otherwise.... 🤪 🤪

CIA used a Saskatchewan university for LSD experiment on volunteers

Tim Leary and Ram Dass were in on it

Then when CIA pulled out our government shut it down much to the anger of the administrator who said that LSD showed promise of treating some forms of mental illness.
Buddy, that was in the 1950's when they also thought electro-convulsive therapy and lobotomies cured mental illness.

She never came back from the other side of the looking glass. It sound like she is trapped in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

It really depends on how heavy your dose is, but for a single (100-ug) or double (200-ug) dose the trip goes something like this:

0 to 2.5 hours from dosing = come-up stage
2.5 to 5.5 hours = peaking
5.5 to 9 hours = comedown

If you happen to have a trip that last 12 hours -- and I have never had one -- the last few hours are definitely going to be the comedown stage.

You almost certainly won't have a "bad" trip. There are definitely factors I have found that trigger terrible trips in people, though. They are:

1. Taking a massive dose
2. Smoking weed while tripping (this is a common one -- the two do not mix well)
3. Being in a terrible mental state when you dose (sometimes LSD will help with a bad mental state, but other times it can go the other way)
4. Being inexperienced and going to a crowded place while tripping -- like a festival or a nightclub. First-timers should definitely take it in a quiet, indoor setting they're familiar with

I was reading a post on Reddit once where a kid was relaying a story about his friend who'd never dosed taking 700-ug and then going to a crowded shopping centre at Christmas time. The event ended up with him being restrained by security guards and an ambulance and his parents called.

Same with ayahuasca. It sucks that becoming physically ill is part of the process.
The purging is part of the medicine process so do not eat before the trip so there is nothing to puke out

I did it at a retreat just north of Toronto with a real shaman

Beside me someone was puking into the buckets you are given

It was beautiful to listen to as I understood she was purging out
bad memories that were trapped inside her body

People were crying out bad traumas of rape etc but it was beautiful to hear as I understood they were being healed

You have to experience it to understand. You have this understanding what other trippers are going through

I did a lot of moaning which is also purge

Some shake out their purge

Some do not purge

It was amazing and beautiful and a lot of hugging after

Thanks for the video -- very insightful. The things he describes are all things I've gone through during psychedelic experiences.

One of my most profound experiences on LSD was tripping with a friend and we were watching some news channel. There was all this violence and death and destruction and carnage on the screen, and then these politicians who have a stake in these events start yammering on about whatever and I absolutely burst into laughter.

It was this profound, literally hilarious realization I had that here are these politicians so wrapped up in destruction and mayhem on the TV, and here we are, two guys in our early 40s at the time, tripping out on acid without a care in the world .... but these politicans would probably say that guys like US were the problem in the world.

It doesn't sound too profound to the sober ear, but during the peak of a trip it seemed so clear and so "loud" and in my face.

Sounds like an incredible experience, thanks for sharing.

Totally understand.

Time to drop a question on your plate

Was your realization a deep understanding of the human condition
or was it a child's incision
into the human condition
Take time to question your decision
Take time for revisions of your decision
Which a minute shall reverse

Totally understand.

Was your realization a real in depth understanding or childlike ?
To add, I think this short scene from The Rum Diary where Johnny Depp's character takes an LSD trip and comes across a lobster tank outside a restaurant sums up the sort of "breakthrough" that I had.

She's still on a locked ward at CAMH. Those shrooms triggered full-on latent bipolar.
Psychedelics -- and even weed -- can definitely trigger or bring mental health issues to the surface, but for most people who are genetically prone, those issues are eventually going to show themselves.

Also, the brain isn't fully developed until about age 25, and I wouldn't recommend anyone under 30 taking them, especially in heroic doses.

I say that with the benefit of hindsight, since I tripped for the first time on shrooms at 14 and LSD at 19.
