I understand why they enjoy it, I just think the downsides (downregulation) far outweigh the benefits.

Lucid dreaming would be the natural equivalent, and with the benefit of zero health risk (including no downregulation of anything) and control over the experience.
- Kiro 11y agoI've had amazing lucid dreams but it's not comparable to MDMA or LSD.
- Nursie 11y agoLucid dreaming would be nothing like to either of those, amazing as it is. Downregulation is temporary and personally I want to experience everything. My time with likes of LSD is over now, but I'm glad I did it.
- cpncrunch 11y agoPerhaps you need to do some more research. Downregulation lasts about a year if you're a chronic user/abuser. Even a single bottle of whisky causes downregulation for something like a week (that's from memory -- I can't find the reference right now). This probably applies more to alcohol/cocaine/opiates rather than LSD.
