PTSD+PTG is like those comic-book character creation myths. Most
people exposed to nuclear reactor core radiation or toxic chemicals,
just die. Some transmute into Radioactive Man and get X-Ray vision.

- kinakomochidayo 3y agoI wonder how spiritual experiences resulting from psychedelics fit into this. I have a long history of childhood traumas, but ever since using Ayahuasca and other psychedelics, I've gained a much more positive outlook in life, and have improved my life significantly since.

- kinakomochidayo 3y agoSorry to hear that.. I'm not sure how your set, setting and dosage was, but it also seems like most psychedelics aren't good for people with schizophrenia, bipolar and suicidal tendencies. It's definitely not for everyone.
- bowsamic 3y agoUnfortunately the risk/reward is quite extreme. For reference: Dosage: 100ug LSD on two close together ocassions Set: No depression at that time, just some early childhood trauma as you mentioned Setting: Both times in loving family environment in very safe environment I don't have schizophrenia and bipolar, and I didn't have suicidal tendencies until I took LSD. Afterwards I did for about 4 or 5 years.
