    Although you are unlikely to find nootropics in their database

    Yeah I they didn't have any of the nootropics that I'm taking

    Rule of thumb: if unsure, don't use it

    So I shouldn't use nootropics while on prescription drugs or antibiotics? Because there is no way to be sure until I try taking a nootropic with these drugs.

    If you're going to ignore everyone here

    Like 4 people have said this exact same thing which is funny because there have been a good handful of people here who have told me to do it regardless. Believe it or not I have listened to the reason of some who have commented, my original plan was much more radical. I was going to self-inquire for hours every day while taking breakthrough amounts of DMT back to back, my goal being to kill my "self" or sense of self in order to discover the Truth about what I am. I understand now what a grave mistake that would have been and how I would've fucked everything up.

    but psychedelics will show your truths that are harsh, and if you're not in the right frame of mind when doing them you will have trouble accepting them

    What about doing micro dosing for productivity and creative reasons rather than expanding consciousness?

    Leo's actually a good example of this.  His childhood passion was to become a game designer.  He learned a bunch of skills to make that happen.  Got hired by a big company, then left when he discovered he didn't like it.  Thing is, he applied all those skills to develop an online business that provided the financial capital to do Actualized.org.  So, choosing game design wasn't a waste.  It was a great stepping stone. 

    Yeah that's an interesting insight. All of our past failures contribute to our overall success.

    You want to trip, many people have offered good reasons not to do so at your age, and still you carry on by saying how everyone is wrong. Why even make this topic if you just wanted confirmation bias? 

    Reread my original post. I never asked for advice on whether or not I should trip, I asked about a trip sitter. However, I do apricate all the perspectives that people have shared, and many of them have opened my eyes and changed my mind. But at the end of the day I'm going to make the decision on what I think is best, not what strangers on an online forum think is best.

    Not only that but you may struggle a lot with integrating these experiences and want to escape the "petty things" in your life for this stuff (again, not healthy). 

    You misunderstand what I'm saying. What I'm taking about is getting a taste for what higher states of consciousness would be like, and realizing that all of my shallow survival habits & priorities (material pleasures, popularity, etc.) are wastes of time. I am not saying I want to use psychedelics to escape, quite the opposite actually. I want to confront my lower self and create change.

    Give me one good solid legit reason for doing it

    Its hard to narrow it down to just one......

    But if I had to It would expanding my consciousness and deepening my understanding of God, Reality, Consciousness, Fear  and Truth. I understand that I can do these things sober, and that's what I have been working on. Psychedelics are merely a tool to go deeper than I would be able to go normally sober. As people like @Carl-Richard have mentioned this could backfire and and I could deconstruct my mind too quickly, which is something I'm now very mindful of.

    Yes it's good that you've used them, as they will at least indicate whether the substance is likely to be dangerous(25-iNbome reacts very differently to these reagents than LSD does for example)

     For future reference should I test with both Ehrlich and Hoffman of the same dose? Or could I just use one? I've heard Ehrlich is better for LSD and Hoffman is better for DMT. I don't want to use up too much of a dose on testing.

    The challenge is to balance survival and truth-seeking, because those two are largely antithetical to eachother. It's wise to get your foundational survival straight before trying to deconstruct your mind, and in an individualistic society, that includes things like finishing high school, becoming economically self-sustained and psychosocially integrated. Deconstructing a mind is tricky business, but it's even more tricky to deconstruct a mind that is still under construction.

    Honestly, this is very compelling to me. The need to balance truth-seeking and survival isn't something I've thought about before. My question would be even if I don't fly off the edge with psychedelics, wouldn't it still be advantageous at my young age to deconstruct my mind and survival habits that way I set my life up around Truth and not survival?

    I ask because I thought I read that you are not interested in school. No. Take full advantage of being a good student now because it's your education that will make or break you.

    No, I'm actually extremely invested in school, I have a 4.2 GPA, take all the advanced classes, etc. My point was that I feel there is something deeper and more important than simply surviving and I want to explore that. Your thoughts about foundation and not "going off the edge" so to speak were eye-opening tbh and after reading some of the other responses on here I've deciding to not dive into Truth seeking fully until I'm able to be financially independent and have my life set up. My worry is that by that time I will have spent so much time surviving when I realize the truth I'm going to want something totally different and perhaps more authentic than I do right now. I want to use the valuable resource that is my youth to build my life around Truth and not survival.

    This definitely includes a trip sitter. 

    A trip sitter must be responsible and knowledgeable when it comes to psychedelics.

    Do not employ someone as a trip sitter who you don't know or trust fully, or who doesn't know how to properly trip sit!!

    If you don't have such a person, I would think all the harder about whether it's a good idea to do this. 

    Thanks for the clear answer, I'll wait a until I can find someone like that to do psychedelics. I know that the responses on this thread are in support of me waiting for a more stable mind, foundation, etc. Those are valid concerns form an outside perspective, I've worried about all of those same things as well.
