So 4 days ago I took 200 ug of 1P-LSD. How long do I have to wait before microdosing so I can feel the effects again.

So if I take tomorrow (which would be 5 days since my last trip) 20 ug I probably won't feel anything?

So I come from a family that has a history of mental illness. My uncle was diagnosed with paranoia and schizophrenia, my grandmother has depression, my mother was involved in organized crime and has commited murder and was a very unstable drinker (we are not in speaking terms anymore) and an aunt is extremely neurotic. My mother was never diagnosed with schizophrenia but did mention once that she had experienced allucinations and if you knew her you would know there was something deeply wrong with her. So currently I am 19 and I although (like all people) I do have my own neurotic behavior, but I do not feel like I'm mentally unstable, quit the contrary I feel I am more stable than most 19 year olds. However I have had many psychedelic experiences (around 13 perhaps) and most of them where manageable some very pleasurable. But the last three started to take a dark direction especially the last one I had which was a mushroom trip and I was faced with my death which I could not handle and did not break through. It was the most frightening experience I've ever had and ever since the idea of death and mortality keeps tormenting my mind. I have fear that because of my family history of mental history I will develop schizophrenia. Generally males develop it between their teens and 20s. Is there any actual evidence that there is a link between psychedelics and schizophrenia or is it just anti-drug propaganda. Also, aside from the recurring thoughts of death I don't really see anything wrong with me and I can't really say it has made me depressed or anything. Thank you for your time!

Is it possible for a sociopath to realize that he is a sociopath and act morally even though he does not feel any love or empathy? could he even become enlightened?

So I've been watching Actualized.org for about 3 years now. I bought the book list and just recently started reading one book of the book list. Leo himself said in one occasion that he wishes for people to stop watching his videos and go do the research and work themselves. I've been considering this since I've noticed sometimes I just blindly believe some of the stuff he says. I fear I might turn all he talks about into dogmas and blind beliefs. He put out a video on the blog where he explains that if you stick with him you will undestand more about life than an academic. Should I go into this journey alone and just read a tone of books and do the work myself or should I continue to watch the videos?

So currently I'm 19 and I'm very confused as to what path I should take in life. So about a year ago I started to research and experiment with psychedelics and learning about their powerful potential in spirituality and I truely want to communicate the power of these plants. I am a musician and music is truely the thing I have always wanted to do as a career but I am afraid of being dismissed as being a hippie junkie musician. I've considered becoming an academic and studying something like biology or chemistry to research psychedelics so I can communicate information on psychedelics with some scientific credibility, and while that seems fun and all I just want to play music. I try to motivate myself with a Terence McKenna quote that said "if the artists can't find the way than no one can". I am from Mexico and because psychedelics are part of a lot of indigenous traditions in many regions of the country, psychedelics are seen as medicine by some mexicans but a lot of Mexico is westernized and very catholic and many people think they are just like any other harmful drug so I don't know if to become a musician or an academic. Any thoughts or advice on how I can make the correct decision? Thank you!

So I'm fairly new to the whole spirituality thing. Currently, I'm 19 and I had put some thought into getting married and having kids maybe in my 30s, not that I necessarily must raise a family but still It would be nice at some point. So I was wondering if pursuing enlightenment and raising a family go hand by hand? Or is it too difficult to go the non-dual path with wife and kids?
