He did admit to being a bit bothered when he hallucinated a big purple hot-wax finger came thru the ceiling and start dripping wax on the carpet -- yes, that's way too intense for me
Single dose of LSD provides immediate and lasting relief from anxiety, study says

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.

Weed triggers schizo, dude. Well known to shrinks and those who associate with them - willingly or otherwise....
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.
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.
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

I would describe it as a massive amplification of something I already knew but never really thought about.
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.
Sorry, too young for the 60's and have stuck to booze, weed, and occasionally shrooms.
And that is why LSD is illegal. It gives you funny ideas
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.
