Thanks for the reply.
Yes I understand having a good setting. But people say, "don't do it if you have any unresolved issues." But isn't it why people take these in the first place, they are looking for some kind of answer? And who doesn't have "unresolved issues" lol. Then it's said it can bring out problems in yourself (and you may see negative aspects in others) you didn't even know you had. But these are trialed in people with anxiety and depression i.e. people with mental problems i.e. myself. In that new LSD trial they supposedly didn't see many negative reactions. Sometimes therapy is done while tripping but here they just had a person sitting there reading a book.
So I'm not really assured by any of your replies and don't know if I'm "stable" enough lol. I guess the only thing is to just do it, come what may? I would do a lower dose first as Ro recommended.
Yeah, the therapy thing is not an easy thing to understand how it fits but it might be lower dosages or it might be that the setting is better controlled because the person is treating the experience with respect. It might be that they are more mentally conditioned for attacks of negativity. I don't know. You WILL be looking at yourself from a different angle. That is perspective that is almost impossible to gain from anywhere else. However, you may also realise just how pointless much of what you hold to be of worth is. It's a bit of a shock.
If you choose to do it, ideally find someone who has had a bad moment and they will have the compassion and mental conditioning to handle the situation. After suffering the one I went through (where the individual made me feel instantly suicidal) I've since handled a couple of moments for people. You can get them back from the precipice, they just need positivity and distraction.
If you don't know anybody, at least find someone to do it with or to sit with you. Follow all the rules that you've probably read. Don't do more because it isn't working.
The other option is to combine it with loud music. There is a lot less introspection with very loud music playing but of course, then you're in public and that in itself is a vulnerability. With music, you'll likely find that it's more akin to a body high with visuals. It won't really overly matter which music is playing either. Probably electronic is the best for it. It's very clear and it will ride through you like you wouldn't believe and it won't even matter if you don't generally listen to electronic music. I probably wouldn't take acid / mushrooms and then go see slipknot or anything. You want something that is fairly neutral or euphoria inducing.
