There is a testing clinic near me that deal with treating depression using psychedelic substances. I’m wondering if any of you have tried something similar, referring to psychedelic substances, and if so, how did it go? In the past, I occasionally experimented with cannabis, but over time, it didn’t sit well with me anymore. Does anyone have such experiences?

    I took around 20 micrograms of LSD once, and i didn’t have a sitter. Worst experience of my entire life - if you have any sort of visual or sensory sensitivity I personally recommend you stay far away, just anecdotally

    • You must be sensitive to it, then. Sensitivity varies from person to person. 20 µg might be an “in-between” dose for you already, which is clearly above a microdose but not yet in the psychedelic range. You experience elevated sensory sensitivity and some of the side-effects (woozyness), which can make such “half doses” uncomfortable. A microdose would be around 5 µg, and it shouldn’t have that.

      I have no issues with visual or other senses, and many nt’s say the same thing as you, although in the end, many of them admit that the experience was necessary for them. Of course, I’m talking about the purpose of healing or spiritual growth, not just having fun :)
