literally everybody (who is psychologically capable) should do this
I thought the same after my first few trips but now I'm more experienced - especially with much harder psychs such as DMT (that first DMT breakthrough was basically the most life-transforming, intense experience of my whole life; by a wide, wide margin - LSD felt like a joke compared to it) - I'm much more wary of recommending it to people. I think it's not for everyone. Especially if they had significant trauma in their past.
My usual advice when recommending doing psychs, as an aside, are:
Start with very low doses. Increase progressively. Yes, it will be disappointing initially. But it's the best way.
Do not resist or try to take control of the situation. You're not in control, you're going on a trip.
The second one especially is maybe the most important one to avoid bad experiences.
That's a good point; yet I've seen some horror stories when it comes to buried trauma and psychs. I've think in these case it would ideally be done under the care of someone trained to handle such things.
Yes I agree, this is why I stipulated that only everyone who is psychologically capable should. I know it’s impossible to know whether it’s for you or not until you try it, but retrospectively, it seems like people who are in a similar headspace to me and don’t have that kind of psychological trauma or predisposition to psychotic/dissociative disorders can really gain something from the experience.
