Is it even worth taking psychdelic as ND? (neurodivergent)

[WritingHands]

Since most of drugs only make it worse when youre ND, makes you more anxious and some of it makes you even shaky or something.

Like is there any ND friendly psychedelics ? or any drug in general...

@WritingHands don't worry, of course ND can take psychedelics.

ND can take as normal people same psychedelics. Just test out which one will suite you.

I agree with @OBEler. You pretty much have to test out different psychedelics to know which ones will suit you best, just like neurotypical people have to do too. Just start low to limit the risk of scaring yourself.

From my experience, a bad trip usually doesn't happen because of the substance itself, but from my own headspace. So it could be any substance. Sometimes it just go bad right from the start, while I was in a good mood otherwise, or I can have great trips on days I was not feeling great. So I think what's most important is to be ready to accept an uncomfortable experience—just in case it happens—rather than searching for the perfect substance—which likely doesn't exist.

If you feel that you can accept that possibility, you will likely be okay. This acceptation also reduces the likelyhood of bad trips, as you don't go in with fear and anxiety of something bad happening, but you go in opened to whatever will unfold. It's important not to force a trip too much to go into a desired direction. It's better to welcome the experience that is taking place, especially at first when you're not yet experienced with psychedelics.

What is your motivation for tripping?

They seem to be a random bag of chaos. They could help you they could hurt you they could make you mentally unstable and they could mentally cure you. You can experience literally anything the only grantee is that its going to be weird as fuck.

MDMA seems to be particularly friendly and loving with ND

Please reasearch on it and the health risks associated with such substances

Regarding experience, many Neurodivergent and autistic individuals have found great relief and nice experiences with them

I intuit, yet I don't fully know, that ketamine might be also gentle with such types

Be aware this is general advice, I don't know about you

[Rigel]

What do you mean by neurodivergent? It could mean a million different things. Schizophrenia? Autism? ADD? OCD? Psychopathy? Bipolar?

It’s way too broad of a term to give advice to you.

I am amazed that people here are giving you advice without inquiring into your situation first.

[Schizophonia]

It makes no differences.

It's like asking if it is worth eating a healthy salad if you are bipolar, ADHD, Autist.

[Thought Art]

Hmm, Definitely worth being careful.

Lsd has cured a big part of my ocd, also it can cure anxiety

Cannabis was legalized in Texas for people with autism a few years ago.

Aaron Orsini runs this site. He has a Discord on there you can join with other neurodivergent psychedelic users. He has a few books written about the subject as well. Lots more info on the site.
