    No doubt! They are powerful medicine and should be used with guidance, especially at first.

    I really like the trip guide method. An experienced person can shepard a person or small group through a trip. There is counseling before hand, maybe goals or problems to be considered during, counseling/discussion in the weeks afterwards. Screen for familial psychosis/schizoid disorders.

    Medicine that should be respected, not really something to party with.

      I agree. Personally while being very careful I always did it alone. Partially because there are only a few people I truly trust, there is a stigma on all types of drugs and of course because it’s illegal so there are no “licensed” professionals that could monitor me.

      I had some very good and eye / mind opening experiences but also some very scary ones that took months to digest mentally.
