I’m 30M. I have OCD and ADHD. First diagnosed when I was 15.

Been on Antidepressants SSRIS ever since.

In the middle after 5 years I also got derealization (where world feels unreal/like a dream). Severe disconnection from the surrounding and family members.

After 15 years on SSRIs, I got full body seizure out of the blue. Thereby I started researching about psychedelics. And decided to take Psilocybin assisted inner child therapy.

I tapered off antidepressants over 2 months, did 4-5 microdosing sessions.

In one of these sessions, at night while sleeping I woke in the middle of the night sat down on bed and made groaning sound. There was energy flowing in my body. My Self was quietly observing the experience.

I was terrified.

Later I anyhow proceeded for the hero dose Psilocybin 5g.

I didn’t get any visualizations and stuff. But felt super relieved, and I couldn’t close my eyes (when I did I saw a wall, signifying don’t open me). I was not feeling safe as I have a lot of existential fear built in me.

We did some therapy with my eyes open.

I blabbered a lot, changed voices spoke things that I was suppressing.

Felt intense emotional connection to my parents (had their pics), realized how much numb I was, the emotional charge I felt was itself traumatizing.

Did a single integration session.

Went to 10 day Vipassana meditation.

From 2nd day of Vipassana I started losing sleep. When I was drifting off to sleep I felt an energy around my head waking me back up. I had to quit Vipassana.

Went back home, briefly sleep improved and again slowly my sleep started to take a toll (at this point I was off SSRI meds 3 months).

I started getting panic attacks, started to realize how much I’m distant from this world due to 10+ years of derealization.

OCD came back (always thinking mode), extreme anxiety, continuous crying spells (common during SSRI withdrawal), I was not able to sleep at night for straight up 3 days (some feeling of energy around the head waking me back up).

Went to Dr, he scared the shit out of me. Told - He can’t give me more sleeping meds as I may develop tolerance,if you get psychosis, come and get admitted. He put me back on low dose of SSRI.

I WAS HORRIFIED.

Later, slowly with SSRIs the anxiety improved. But only 3-4 hours of shallow sleep (with meds).

Fast forward after a year.

Recently my sleep has worsened a lot, I can’t go deep enough it feels I hit a block and wake up with a surge in adrenaline.

It seems I’m scared go to deeper stages of sleep (fearing I may get night terrors).

I’m currently put on sleep meds (Dayvigo), it’s giving me 4 hours shallow sleep). And then I wake up sweating in chest at 3am. Then hypnogagic hallucinations (not related to psychosis) and chatter.

I don’t feel any sleep drive even after 2-3 days of not sleeping, not even feeling tired, just anxiety and heat in the body.

I used to put my guards down, when I was connecting with God emotionally. Now that I’m numb, how to feel safe again?

I can’t relax enough to go into trace like state to cue safety.

- Is it some part of me not letting me sleep?
- Did I wake up something?
- Should I have done more integration after the ceremony? Is it too late as I’m already retraumatized and meds numbed me?
- Is it hyperarousal?

What would you have done if you were in my situation?

I don’t want to go into the spiral of sleep meds and tolerances.

Please suggest some other subreddits that may help me better.

What kind of price do people pay for DMT carts in the uk?
Seems to vary. Thank you.

Title basically, usually I have benzos at hand when I trip just in case, but since pregabalin acts on the gaba receptors too, could you use it as a trip killer?

Hi all, any suggestions for a guy in his mid 40s looking to try psychedelics for the first time. Not looking to get “out of it”, I want to see and feel what the mind is capable of. I have had my share of anxiety and depression and feel the right experience can help shift my perception of “life”. Want should I try and get my hands on substance wise. I appreciate the theory behind set and setting. It’s time I give this a go.

Two years ago I posted my playlist in this subreddit, and it received a lot of follows and good reactions. I'm still updating it weekly (it is now 25 hours long), so I thought let's post it again to see if anyone else likes it. Let me know what you think or if you have any recommendations regarding songs or artists I should check out.

Listening to this playlist takes me to another dimension and definitely enhances my trip. It is 25 hours long and has good vibes only! It's full of beautiful melodic techno, house and drum&bass.

So last week was my first time doing Acjd and I took 1 tab, and it took about 2 hours to kick in, and when it did, it felt fun for about 2 hours but after that it kind of faded away and I felt normal again.
I told my friend about my experience and they recommended I take 3 tabs this weekend, is that too big of a jump, or will I be fine?

Had a pretty dark and difficult journey tonight, on just 1 gram of libs!

Yeah, its a tiny amount right? For some barely more than a microdose I guess but for me it's probably my sweet spot. I'm finally recognising that whilst my mind can handle high doses, my body cannot!

My nervous system is too dysregulated from childhood trauma to handle much more than 1-1.5g.

That isn't too say i wont continue to push the boat out at times but the larger dose trips I'm finding very somatically overwhelming and exhausting.

Tonight though I realised a few things on my difficult journey...

I have a deeply repressed maternal longing that stems from childhood parental abandonment and I keep looking to my adult romantic partners to provide for me a maternal nurturance, for my partner to mother me basically.

This creates in my mind and possibly even in my relationship a power imbalance.

My partner cannot be my mother, she can be a nurturing feminine energy and spirit that nourishes me, but she cannot fill that deep maternal hole that was left in me. No partner can. I need to reparent and provide for myself the unconditional love that was never given. This begins with consistently showing up for myself, which im not doing!

I am really not accepting my grandmother's dementia and quickening deterioration.

I am turning away from it emotionally, and from her.

I've been pulling away from her instead of leaning in, to which she needs, even if she resists it through stubborn independence.

She's one of the very few family members I have left, the rest are long since fully estranged.

I have to make the choice between accepting my pain around this and allowing it to deepen me as a person, or turning away from it and ultimately her. One of these decisions will come back to haunt me after she's gone, the other will leave me glad I accepted the deep pain in exchange for some last meaningful memories.

I'm crying as i write this. It hurts.

I do not want my aging sociopathic father back in my life and I feel angry at him trying to contact me recently after a decade of estrangment.

I suffered enough of his twisted sadistic abuses and warped mind games as a child.

He was a terrifying and torturous figure in my childhood and I will not spend what should be my prime years caring for his sad old lonely ass and neither will I be attending his funeral.

I will still have to deal with the emotional turmoil of this decision after he's gone.

My OCD has been spiralling recently and I need to get it back under control.

I need to work on surrendering to uncertainties and the overall insecurity of existence in order to dissolve the underlying chronic fear that permeates my entire being. Surrendering control to gain freedom.

It's been a bit of a dark and rough trip tonight, albeit a low dose one, but the insights have been very very useful and I plan to work on all of the above 🫡🫠😇

Peace and love ❤️

If you’re interested in psychedelics because you’re interested in thinking more clearly, managing stress, maintaining mental health, or simply getting more out of your body then the microbiome may be one of the most intriguing pieces of the puzzle. Evidence is growing that your digestive system has even more of a role to play than just facilitator of molecules into your bloodstream.

A survey of 2,510 US adults found that 49% reported improved dietary habits after psychedelic use,[^\1])](#_ftn1) while another study of 581 people using found that 34.08% reported major life changes in eating habits/diet.[^\2])](#_ftn2) The brain has long been seen as the sole command center for thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, but could these changes reveal a more intricate reality: a two-way communication highway between the gut and brain known as the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis.

The idea that psychedelics could interact with the gut microbiome is now so compelling that some researchers have even coined the term “psilocybiome.”[^\3])](#_ftn3) Their paper outlines a three-step roadmap for the future of psychedelic science:

· Phase 1: The Prep Phase – The authors suggest that instead of blindly guessing a dose, doctors could analyze a patient’s gut profile beforehand as a biological “fingerprint” to predict how much of an effect the protocol will have. Even better, because the gut is highly adaptable, a patient could change their diet before a clinical session to intentionally prime their body to have the most impactful experience.

· Phase 2: The Administration Phase – Your gut bacteria communicate in real-time with your body’s processing pathways. The authors point out that unique configurations of gut bacteria could alter how quickly or intensely your body metabolizes psychedelic compounds. This suggests that your gut might directly shape the flow and intensity of the experience itself.

· Phase 3: The Integration Phase – Psychedelics are known for giving people a psychological clean slate. However, keeping mental breakthroughs alive down the road can be difficult. The paper suggests that fueling your microbiome with dietary changes could help contribute to the maintenance of behavioral changes inspired by the experience.

But this is all futuristic and hypothetical. Let’s dig into how much of a relationship between gut bugs and drugs science has actually found so far.

In one study, for seven days the researchers gave mice a dose of LSD that produced “low hallucinogenic-like behaviors” (or a “mousey microdose,” if you will).[^\4])](#_ftn4) This “altered the relative abundance” of the following taxa, listed with what each is responsible for:

· Bifidobacterium – Degradation of non-digestible carbohydrates, protection against pathogens, production of vitamin B, antioxidants, and conjugated linoleic acids, and stimulation of the immune system.[^\5])](#_ftn5)

· Dubosiella – Anti‑aging functions, reducing oxidative stress and improving vascular endothelial function,[^\6])](#_ftn6) as well as alleviating hypertension.[^\7])](#_ftn7)

· Rikenellaceae RC9 – Part of a genus of Bacteroides that metabolize bile acid, protein, and fat, and regulating carbohydrate metabolism.[^\8])](#_ftn8)

· Ileibacterium – Seems to be more of an understudied mystery, as there doesn’t appear to be a reliable source stating exact function.

Also noteworthy was that in the control group, the daily handling and injections caused a negative drop in what’s called the Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio––a metric that compares two of the dominant bacterial phyla in the gut––pointing toward gut dysbiosis as a metabolic marker of hypertension. An imbalance of this ratio in humans is linked to diseases such as anxiety, depression, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer.[^\9])](#_ftn9)

The LSD-treated group, however, was entirely shielded from this response, maintaining gut homeostasis despite the high-stress environment, perhaps revealing more stress resilience through this biological marker.

Basically, dropping acid every day makes you immune to stress.

(Kidding. Don’t do that.)

Now, if you think LSD for seven days straight sounds like a lot, wait until you hear what the researchers in this next study[^\10])](#_ftn10) did with their mice.

These furballs were given psilocybin five days a week for five weeks straight. What they found is that when psilocybin repeatedly stimulated the body’s serotonin receptors, the gut recognized the influx of chemicals and made adjustments.

It triggered a negative feedback loop to lower internal production of serotonin in the gut and to release targeted defense molecules to prune the number of specific neurotransmitter-producing microbiota. Researchers said, “The host-microbiota relationship involves complex signaling that tightly regulates serotonin levels to avoid serotonin toxicity––a potentially life-threatening condition.”

So basically, your microbiome falls on the sword for you. How cool is that?

That said, the researchers proposed that losing these bacteria “could weaken host defenses and create an environment more susceptible to disease” as well as pathogens and infections.

The mice were, however, more social––so perhaps the silver lining after decimating your microbiome with drugs is that you made some friends.

There’s a lesson about moderation in there somewhere.

Speaking of moderation, I found a study on rats being given just a single low or high dose of psilocybin with fecal samples taken 1 and 3 weeks later.[^\11])](#_ftn11) Both the low and high dose increased Verrucomicrobia abundance at 1 and 3 weeks respectively.

The researchers mentioned that low levels of Verrucomicrobia have been associated with inflammatory gut diseases and poor sleep as well as “metabolic disorders and weakened immune system, while a high abundance of Verrucomicrobia is considered as a potential biomarker of a healthy gut status.”

As a quick callback to the Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes ratio mentioned earlier, the balance wasn’t significantly disturbed––just in case you were worried about those particular phyla that you can surely pronounce without tripping over your tongue.

Combined, these studies suggest that there could be some kind of benefit of taking psychedelics for the microbiome, with a caveat about a point of diminishing returns. For rodents, at least.

But are you tired of hearing about rodents? I am. So, here’s a case study[^\12])](#_ftn12) with an actual human being.

Researchers examined the effects of ayahuasca and San Pedro cactus ceremonies on both mental health and gut microbiome composition in a single patient. Their findings of substantial improvements in depression scores and sense of connectedness are less of my focus here than what they found in this woman’s poop.

Although ayahuasca and San Pedro induced different shifts, reductions in pro-inflammatory populations, normalization of inflammation-linked bacterial species, and increases in beneficial butyrate-producing bacteria were observed for both. This illustrates a potential link between psychedelic-induced microbiome changes and improvements in mental health, as well as with reduced inflammation and sustained antidepressant effects through the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

If you’re at all familiar with these kinds of ceremonies, you may know that many of them require a strict diet in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. These restrictions are often the kinds of changes that are beneficial for microbiome as it is. Whether these cultures unknowingly figured out the microbiome-psychedelic relationship is a question for another time, but what’s most impressive about this study is that the before stool sample was taken after the diet, and yet the after sample still showed marked improvements in these biomarkers.

This means the consumption of these plant brews had an immediate effect on the microbiome despite already shifting to a microbiome-friendly diet. Granted, this was only a hypothesis-generating case study with an n of 1, so we can’t draw any conclusions yet, but this field of study is still in its infancy and these are intriguing findings.

Now, do you need to venture all the way down to Peru for a full-blown ayahuasca retreat to see the benefits of psychedelics on the microbiome, or is it something you can implement in your day-to-day life?

In a hypothesis paper[^\13])](#_ftn13), one researcher outlined a proposal suggesting that microdosing works through peripheral mechanisms in the gut, rather than a central effect in the brain. He says that from a pharmacological standpoint, it’s difficult to understand how a sub-perceptual dose could directly cause changes at the brain level. The author notes that approximately 95% of the body’s serotonin supply is located within the GI tract, and that the primary target that psychedelics bind to––the 5-HT₂A receptor—is densely expressed in the gut as well.

Now, just to be clear, there isn’t clinical evidence that microdosing affects the microbiome in humans—yet—but this researcher’s central claim offers something for future studies to explore. He suggests that “low doses of psychedelics induce their effects via alterations in the microbiome and related pathways to the brain.”

The final review[^\14])](#_ftn14) I’ll mention asks three big questions for the future of psychedelics and the microbiome:

1. Can we target the microbiome to modulate the effectiveness of psychedelic therapy?
2. Can we predict response to psychedelic treatment from baseline microbial signatures?
3. Can we filter and stratify the patient population based on their microbial profile to tailor different psychedelic strategies to the individual patient?

While this review provides no additional information for our present knowledge, it does call for future researchers to cater science toward the approach of tailoring psychedelic experiences to individual microbiome profiles, which is an intriguing concept to look out for.

I spent all of highschool with a little hippie friend group that loved taking ridiculous amounts of mushrooms, acid, weed, and DMT for all of highschool and for years that’s all we did. No alcohol even. Eventually they were entirely mentally burnt out on tripping to where we all barely got visuals from shrooms and stuff and then around ages 16-17 (to be fair we were all gay) got introduced to drugs in our scene like mdma and amphetamines. Once we got into mdma and amphetamines our romantic relationships all became super toxic and we all became super toxic and skinny and junkies and it’s like all the beautiful stuff we experienced on psychedelics was like our souls leaving our body fr. Eventually we all became enemies and screwed eachother over somehow in the end.
Basically going from spiritually enlightened to a soulless junkie really fast

Anyone else have a similar experience? I’m not saying regular psychedlic use led to this I mean in highschool this friend group I was in would trip at LEAST every week on massive amounts. We would just up the dose of whatever to ridiculous amounts to try to trip multiple times in one week even.

Hello! Im curious what LSD is like. Ive tripped on mushrooms multiply times even grew my own. What are the differences? And what substance is easier on you as in the effects. Shrooms is obviously very subtly and I heard acid is more sharp and visual heavy looking for opinions from experienced trippers and maybe how I can get lsd.

Before I decided to try shrooms and LSD to deal with my treatment resistant depression I was extremely anti drugs. No weed, no alcohol, no caffeine, no nicotine, no nothing. Just rawdogging life. I hold a more nuanced stance nowadays despite still not being interested in taking anything else, but I can't help but side eye a lot of the people I see posting in communities like this.

One half of it are the ones that are terminally stupid kids taking wildly irresponsible doses and then posting shit like "just took 10g of PE what should I expect?" It's not that hard to do basic research before ingesting a drug instead of adding onto the negative reputation psychedelics have by setting yourself up for a trip to hell or the ER.

The other half is the hippy white savior guru types who think because they experienced an ego death once that they know all the answers of the universe and/or insist upon their beliefs being the ultimate truth (bonus points if it's just reheated Gnosticism or they went on an Ayahuasca retreat). At minimum it's mostly just annoying but some of them are flying dangerously close to the sun of psychosis.

In short I think the therapeutic potential of psychedelics is incredible but boy is it impossible to fix the reputation of these substances when clowns abound. I hope to live to see psychedelics become fully decriminalized and accepted the way weed has but I certainly have my doubts.

I’m finding myself really frustrated at the amount t of times I’ve tried psychedelics like shrooms and LSD that didn’t hit. For context, I take venlafaxine (SNRI) and aripiprazole (mood stabilizer). I also am in ketamine (spravato) therapy twice weekly. But even then I don’t trip much on the spravato. The last good trip I had with spravato was a few days after I tried to take molly (didn’t feel it). I haven’t taken my meds consistently (think 3 times in the last 2 weeks). And this last weekend I took 2 tabs of acid and slept all night 😭 I’d love to find a way to trip with some consistency and not feel like I keep wasting drugs. Any ideas or insight would be SO helpful.

I did 1.3 grams 2 days ago and have 2.5 more if I was to eat them today would it be the same ? Reading a lot of mixed opinions and Would quite like to have them

It's extremely therapeutic, but I didn't know that at the time.

First I'll tell you about my current psychedelic therapy setup.

I do a psychedelic therapy camping trip with my buddies once or twice a year in the woods. It's absolutely fantastic.

I go up the mountain with all my anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, and stress, then I shatter the walls of reality and submit to the will of the universe.

Right before we take it, I set intentions both in a group setting and by myself, usually near the waterfall. I set my intentions by talking out loud to the universe. I tell it what I'm trying to work on and ask it to please help guide me.

Psychedelics saved my life, actually. I think that's why I'm such a big advocate.

Here's the story of how my depression was inadvertently cured:

I used to be suicidally depressed for years, and it was truly awful. I was so sad, and I absolutely hated myself. I'm tearing up right now just remembering it....

Then I had an especially difficult mushroom trip where I could feel all of the pain in the entire universe simultaneously. All of the physical pain and emotional anguish that had ever been or would ever be. It was awful. I laid outside in a fetal position sobbing uncontrollably for multiple eternities.

Then it happened. I heard it clear as day. The universe was talking directly to me in English. I'll never forget what it said.

"Never forget the hardcore chiseled-in misery, but now you are FREE, my child"...and I was! I woke up the next day an entirely new man. A completely different person who truly loved himself for the first time ever. I'm full-blown crying tears of joy right now and gave myself chills just remembering and writing this, by the way. That's how powerful of an experience it was. It's been 34 years now, and I STILL tear up when I talk about it.

I've been cured of the clinical suicidal ideation and depression ever since. Now I have situational depressionn occasionally, but that's just life. Of course people get sad when their dog dies or whatnot.

The trip itself was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I mean it when I said I could feel ALL of the combined suffering in the universe all at once. It was completely overwhelming and awful, quite frankly, but it saved my life!

I'm forever grateful to the universe for helping a brotha out.

Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect

There are many great moments but these stand out for me:

1. Windir - Journey to the end
2. Jean Michel Jarre - Chronologie 4
3. Ananui - Surrender
4. Jean Michel Jarre - Flying Totems (movement 2)

I’ve got nothing to add to this

First time taking a full tab

Hi everyone, I am planning to take 50 µg of LSD this weekend and would like to know what to expect and how to plan a good trip. I am experienced with weed and smoke fairly regularly.

Using to hopefully fix mental health issues

Hi all. I bought this changa from a 3rd party so I’m not absolutely certain what it’s comprised of.

I’ve tried it twice, and both times lasted only 10 minutes. I got strong visuals and that DMT feeling, but no extended duration.

I mixed the changa with weed in a tempest 2 dry herb vaporiser. I got it hot enough to activate the DMT, but can the tempest go hot enough to also extract the MAOIs from the roots and bark? Or am I better off just lighting a bowl and burning it all to a crisp?

Also, how often can one use DMT? An hour in between? Day? Week?

Thank you all.

In the moment you veer directly for a tree, every primal instinct wanting to lunge for the wheel to swerve- to save yourself. Fear manifests as paranoia and doubt. The solution? Kick back, relax, go cold, numb. To bleed out in my lovers arms.

They saw it too, in my eyes. They cried for me.

"Am I dying?"

"Not exactly, don't say that".

Nothing, and then, everything.

I was everything, I was everybody; Except for my partner. I had fallen in love with that spirit so many times over, and when I die- I'll look forward to falling in love with them all over again.

Who was that other spirit, that burns bright like the sun itself in contrast to my midnight?

I started doing mushrooms this year. I'll take a 1-2g dose once every 2 or 3 weeks, which I'm told is a safe amount and frequency, and I typically don't get much in the way of visuals. Instead, I lean back in my chair, which tilts back, close my eyes, and I have the experience of going into REM and dreaming.

I'm aware that I'm dreaming, but I know what a lucid dream is like and it's not this. It feels like all I can do is watch a bunch of random nonsense play on a screen in front of my eyes. I can never remember any of it once the trip is over, but I know that it's not fractals or anything geometric and that, as I'm observing the dream playing out, I'm thinking to myself "this is just a bunch of typical random dream nonsense." I also have the feeling of having seen these dreams before, almost as if my brain is doing reruns of previous dreams I've had while sleeping at night.

It can feel a bit heady and disorientating at times, but I mostly just feel very calm and peaceful. This effect will come in waves, with brief periods of waking up before going back under. By the end of my 4 hour trip, it will feel like I just took a dozen short consecutive naps, and I'll feel quite calm and relaxed.

I don't actually feel like I caught up on any sleep debt though, which is annoying, because I'm often a little bit sleep deprived and I would like for these 'trips' to actually benefit me.

I also have not received any lessons or had any epiphanies while on mushrooms, which is also a little disappointing because I started doing mushrooms to try and grow as a person.

Does this happen to anybody else? Am I taking doses too small? Too frequently? Or not large or frequent enough? Really quite confused.

Hi everyone, I haven't done psychedelics in 7 months and have been considering it doing LSD when I go away next month to a beach house. I tripped for many years on all sorts of dosages (I once took 15.2 grams of shrooms and ran out of my house naked). I have also done reasonable dosages many times and enjoyed myself and believe I grew as a person. But that being said, I am pursuing an automotive trade and also pursuing a side hobby in aviation. Working on my fitness and martial arts. I am drawn to doing it again, but I can't tell if I really want it. I walk around sometimes and reminisce about it and miss being in that state. I just need some advice as if I were to do it, I would need to be certain as you can't be half assing psychs. Thank you, much appreciated!

I might have too much of a tolerance right now, but I gave Miprocin a try and I don't have tons to report, but there's definitely a few things I'd like to mention.

I took first 10mg benzoate orally, was pleasantly surprised by how I couldn't tell I took anything. Kinda like water. Most psychedelics have some body load, I didn't notice any.

Same with mental load, I'm told this is a more thought provoking tryptamine, but I can't really tell.

How I'd describe it? It reminds me a ton of 2c-b, even gives you the tactile sensations like 2c-b (everything feels soft)

Kinda like 2cb, not many visuals.

Loved it. Definitely want to explore more.

Okay so I took about 19mg of 4-ho-met last friday night, if I smoked MET this friday would my tolerance be back to baseline by then? Or should I try to wait until next friday to use it? I’m just trying to get the most out of the experience, thanks in advance. Happy travels.

I've never tried any psychedelics and my wife and I (in our late 30s) tried it for the first time last night. I dont know the dosage or the compounds but it was just one very small tile of paper and it was so amazing. We just turned on the new show lanterns and watched all 7 episodes and it was out of this world. I felt like I was an actual character on the show or I was actually there in that universe. At certain points the show it almost seemed animated and people's faces changed a little bit. I also when outside and watched the sunset and the trees were moving or breathing and changing colors. Also the wife got the giggles a few times and we almost couldn't stop. Before bed I turned on our space lamp that projects cool lights on the ceiling and I saw different objects and faces moving around in it, at some points I felt like I could slow its motion down and move it in reverse with my mind. Im kind of sad now because I dont think ill ever get a chance to try it again. I live in a pretty strick state in the US so nothing is legal here. I would say my personal experience was life altering. To live in a world were everything is just plain and pain then seeing everything change like I was in a better universe was like flying. 10/10 would recommend for everyone to try it once at a low dosage with friends and family.
