Many Burning Man guides, including the original arctic monkey guide that I first read about 20 years ago, specifically warn against making any life altering decisions for weeks after Burning Man.
Decompression is a bitch when coming down from half a dozen psychedelics.
- phrotoma 2mo agoWell shit. I'm a huge fan of the band Artic Monkeys but I know nothing about festival guides. Is there a connection?
- flobosg 2mo agoNo. In this case “Arctic Monkey” is just the pseudonym used by the guide writer.
- prox 2mo agoI have seen way too many people in my surroundings go off their rockers after too many ayahuasca trips, especially if they do it in a short time frame, they get emotionally unregulated.

- booty 2mo agoFor me, it's a big task just decompressing from a "normal" fun weekend convention where I've done nothing more than light drinking. I imagine decompressing from something like Burning Man would be even more intense... even without psychedelics. (I know psychedelics are obviously a thing at Burning Man, but I don't know if it's 25% or 50% or 75% or 99.99% of people using them...) As a side note, I know somebody who permanently changed their gender identity after a mushroom trip revelation. I've always wondered how long they waited after the trip to "finalize" their decision. (FWIW, that was years ago and it seems like it was indeed the right choice for them)
