Also, if you do it & you don't like it, STOP DOING IT!! Given the nature of the drug, you can't fight it too much or else you are scarred.
It could, but I've had at least 50-60 trips in the last 20 yrs & I'm stable as a rock. Actually, I think it can help people if you are serious about it & don't just do it at or parties or carelessly like a fool. Most people underestimate the importance of ambient setting when doing psychedelics. If you approach it with GREAT respect it can be a shortcut to achieve bliss & enlightenment. Just keep it to once or twice a year. Also, KNOWING exactly what & how much you are doing is equally important. I'll only do 100% pure, or quality mushrooms. Stay away from DMT unless you are ready to meet god. When was high school though? And how many micrograms was the dosage?
