Anyway, since you were dancing, I assume you used MDMA which is much "less psychedelic" than acid or DMT (and much more of a stimulant). There's also more potential for misuse and addiction. Ketamine, too, turns out to be quite addictive by the way.
It seems clear that psychedelics are going mainstream and, unlike the 60s and 70s, they will be legal in some places. I'm not convinced that ths will be a net good, partly because it's not clear that it was a net good in the 60s and 70s, but we'll see.
- golergka 3y agoThere's nothing stopping you from dancing on acid or shrooms. In fact, that's the whole point of psytrance.
- knightofmars 3y agoYou are implying a 1:1 relationship with good experiences and bad experiences. That's not how drugs work. It is important to know the actual reality of this type of ratio so that individuals who are looking to use a drug of this nature can be well informed.
- slibhb 3y agoNo, I'm positing a 1:1 relationship between "holy shit I am a new person" in a good way and "holy shit I am a new person" in a bad way. That's not the same as good/bad experiences.

- cthalupa 3y agoI don't think there's nearly enough data available to posit it one way or the other - anything we say is almost certainly going to be purely anecdotal. My anecdotal experience has been that the vast majority of people who have used DMT have not felt like a "new person", and the few that have, have felt so in a positive way.

I have done the medically assisted Ketamine trips. No sign them being addicting to me whatsoever. It didn't do a whole lot for me, but some of the other peeps in my cohort had amazing results working through old grief.
- slibhb 3y agoIt's well known that ketamine is addictive. Just google "ketamine addiction". It's an effective antidepressant for many people but you can't take it long term because tolerance develops quickly.
