I agree with DaftStyle, the drugs only ll provide you a temporary feeling of expansion of the consciouness and perception, but thats the problem, its temporary! I have tried some times and yes its amazing, you can see how things really are and each time you take you can understand more.

but i think its only good to see how things look and than if you really want to open your mind and achieve something in your life go know your true self through meditation, contemplation and self discipline.

psychedelics are not drugs if you use them for good

They say after you take 10 doses of LSD you are considered legally insane. If that's the case then I am legally insane 100 times over.

U can read about Albert Hoffmans first experience with LSD by visiting Albert Hoffmans wikipedia site. Go to external references section then click on LSD: My Problem Child. This is the complete book available online. RIP Alert Hoffman. At 102 years old.

LSD is NOT temporary, it still has a profound effect on how i view our world.The changes (mind expansion) have been for the better in my case.

LSD deleted my depression and anxiety ( which was a disorder I couldn't stand ). It also made more spiritual which allowed me to wake up and change for the better. LSD is awesome.

@Strokkkk its not temporary unless you tell yourself its temporary. if your using psychedelics and not learning anything from it, please leave it to the small amount of the population that uses these tools to find the answers to life. "psychonauts" i believe it was tim leary that said that lsd should be limited to artists and musicians......i cant agree more

@Delicorish i used it once and because of the person i was with and the setting i was in, i had a horrible trip. Psychotic isn't the word, beyond psychosis this was. This was something different. Be warned folks, reality is NOT what you think it is. Don't bobble into something like this as if it were just a silly thing. That goes double because I was supposedly "ready" after months of research and stories from my friends. But once it started going bad, there was no going back. Spirits are real.

@sprtrmp88keys the drug itself was a mistake. he was attempting to create a medicine to cure "cluster migranes" and lysergic diethylamide happened to be part of that concoction. Alex is failing to tell the story of Alberts first bike ride while on acid. He did not try to do this, it landed on his shoulders and everyone blames him for it. Did you know he attempted to use the drug to cure alcoholism and drug dependance with a 50% success rate vs. the 10% of traditional psychology?

@Strokkkk Every person has a different way of doing what needs too be done, To reach the same common Goal, Knowingly or otherwise.
