Opioids are the most dangerous as they go straight to satisfy your deepest desires like nothing else, anyone can fall for them. I feel it takes a certain kind of person to get hooked on stimulants, I just find them rather boring. Those are also drugs that can be rather subtle, so it’s possible to integrate them into daily life which makes starting an African easy. Psychedelics on the other hand are much too intense of an experience to take casually, those truly let you tinker with consciousness. Most people will take them a couple of times a year at most and are fine.

Psychdelics are only intense and borderline overwhelming with a high dose, at low/micro doses they have a very different effect/expression. That's why microdosing is a thing, and why the term "museum dose" exists.

  There's some research that shows that microdosing psilocybin isn't nearly (or at all) as effective as taking a regular dose. "Heroic" doses seem most promising from the neurological/neuroplasticity aspect, but yeah they can be... Quite something (even when you take care of S&S).

  Never heard of the museum dose term. Can you share your experience?

    Museum dose is somewhere between art gallery dose and planetarium dose. Under forest explorer dose and way under isolated beach dose.

    At least in the LSD world it is said that 10mcg is a microdose, 20-50mcg is a museum dose (meaning, you can appreciate and navigate a museum while being acutely affected by the effects of the psychedelic, but not to a degree that it's overwhelming/debilitating. Anything north of 100mcg is a "proper" recreational dose, and a heroic dose I believe is anything from 300mcg upwards (very dependant on person, experience, tolerance).

What does "starting an African" mean?

  It should mean "starting an addiction" but auto-correct decided otherwise :/
