Since you asked, my .02 is to read up on it and understand what you are getting into and make your own decision. You know whats best for you and what you want.
I used to recommend mushrooms and lsd to anyone because I felt everyone could use learning from what these substances have to teach. Sink or swim. But after seeing how some people are just not ready for it and the repercussions of it, Id say whats more important is educating yourself in what you are getting into so you dont end up in a sticky situation and have a bad trip.
For whatever its worth, different psychedelics obviously have different strengths. Something like weed is so mild, that all it does it augment the state you were already in. It doesnt override your current state and personality. But with the stronger psychedelics like mescaline, mushrooms, lsd etc., they tend to override your existing habit patterns, and most people who are not prepared or have a great understanding of what they are getting into start to freak when their entire structure system starts to melt away.
So, if you read up on it and still feel that youd like to try it, I *highly* advise with your first time to have something like a calming place, with minimum paranoia, where there is good music, art, or something that you can surrender into so you can get maximum benefit out of it.
Do you have any experience with psychedelics in the past?
