    If that’s how you feel then I would recommend avoiding them, or if you did want to, proceeding with extreme cautious (very low doses).

    If any family history of schizophrenia then definitely avoid.

      Thanks, can. My partner is curious, so I’ll probably take a baby dose at some point.

      I’m pretty attached to my sobriety. If not for the mostly emphatic accounts of people’s trips, I wouldn’t have any interest. It’s nice to hear a voice going a bit counter to that for once.

        I’m pretty experienced so if either of you have any specific questions reply with them and I can do my best to answer.

        I really want to emphasize starting with a low dose. You can always take more, but can’t take less. Any experience with mind altering substances at all? Alcohol, cannabis, etc? Not that they’re really comparable.

        Remember set and setting too. You want to be in a good mindset, if you’ve had a bad day or are dwelling on something that’s making you stressed it’s best to reschedule. Also, if you’re on any medications make sure to google any interactions. And the setting. Be with people you trust in a comfortable, familiar environment.

          Yeah plenty of experience with alcohol and cannabis. And my partner was a raver, so lots of experience with drugs there. Though nowadays we don’t even drink coffee, so our tolerances are probably in the toilet lol.

          My ideal first trip would be one where I doubt if I’m even feeling anything, so very on board with starting on a low dose.

            My ideal first trip would be one where I doubt if I’m even feeling anything,

            In that case I’d recommend maybe 0.1g (whereas for a proper “feeling it” dose I’d say ~2g)

              Alright! Sounds like I’ve got my trajectory plotted, thanks! Will try and remember to check back when I finally get around to it

                Please do! Make sure you have a scale.
