extreme fear of going insane on pscyhedelics

I had the same fear.

What surprised me is that 5meos are quite safe in this regard.

LSD can become much more insane prone for me at high doses and long hours into the trip.

The main advantage of 5meo is the short amount of time.  As long as your heart rate is under control and you can breath then just tell yourself to relax.  The closest I came to insanity was a  17 hour San Pedro trip.

What the heck. I thought San Pedro was supposed to be the most mild psychedelic.

Mescaline can be intense and is really long.

Mescaline is the same as peyote correct ?

Peyote is a cactus that contains mescaline!

One time I took 7-10 puffs of cannabis. All your ideas get thrown out the window after that!

That is what I was told too.  Conventional information on the Internet can be wrong.  What I learned is that you can’t assume any psychedelic is mild.  Psychedelics are unpredictable, especially San Pedro and Peyote.   Also, there was 10% peyote mixed into the San Pedro.  Most of the people that night were walking around and talking.  They were fine.   The “shaman” never experienced anything close to this so he basically ignored me because he didn’t have a clue what was going on.  He was serving a plant medicine he was unqualified to serve and he was unaware of its full power.    Mescaline can last for more than 20 hours, so if it takes you, you are stuck for a long ride. It was way more powerful than Black Ayahuasca which I took in the jungle.

There is no such thing as a mild psychedelic as they affect everyone differently and there are too many factors to the psychedelic experience to make any generalizations about a certain compound. For example people say 2c-b is mild but I disagree.

Psychedelics are no joke. There is a very real possibility of opening one too many doors and seeing too much too soon. Proceed with caution.
