    My first lsd trip told me stop smoking. Another trip told me to stop smoking weed, too. My last trip told me to stop edibles.

    Learning to meditate now. Breathing is what it’s really about, yo

      ahh it’s such a funny thing to be able to say “the drugs told me to stop doing drugs”.

      my first lsd trip told me to love myself more; quite literally too, i was just about to fall into ego death and i saw a second myself in the dark void of mind who faced me and said “love yourself more”. One hell of a first trip ngl

      goodness how much better the world would be if shakes fist the US government! didn’t stop psychedelics research, we could have proper psychedelics assisted therapy by now. An LSD trip on its own already feels like doing 6 months of normal therapy but in the span of 8 hours, and when you intentionally therapise yourself during it? Make that a year of therapy in 8 hours. Imagine what we could achieve if there was a trained professional there to assist you.

      Just make sure your next trip doesn’t tell you to stop breathing haha.

        I will hehe. But in all honesty. For me, a trip doesn’t feel like a drug but like a deep conversation with the core of your inner self and what it means to be you. And I don’t want to be dead, that’s for sure.

        Interestingly, the looming threat of your own immortality is much easier to accept on psychedelics than in real life, I feel.
