Schizofrenia and psychedelics

[StarStruck]

Understanding how the human psychology works is key before taking psychedelics. One really needs to become a therapist or even more knowledgeable than a therapist before playing with the BIOS of your mind.

I like this video, emphasizing the point the people are different and may not be treated in the same way. 

Also my personal experinces are aligned to what this guy says.

Oh man, that guy in that video is cute as hell.  He's my type.  Maybe he just got a new subscriber.  

edit:  nevermind his whole channel is about steroids.  Gross.

Yeah... I don’t think we’re talking about schizophrenia here with this case. Drug induced psychosis or bipolar 1 with psychotic features are probably much closer. Regardless, schizophrenia can respond in a very similar way to psychedelics as bipolar disorder. The guy in the video is right. The potential risks that psychedelics bring are serious and if people understood them properly they might not think it is worthwhile to take them. It depends of your goals and many other things if it is worth it.

As a Schizophrenic, I could take one tab of LSD and go into full-blown psychosis. But not everyone can live in that state for too long, altough my 1,8 years is pretty good.

In the psychotic experience, purest forms of clarity and ecstasy are found. Actually, the whole process is "Divine", and all experiences are Transrational, Transminal. It can lead to God at the highest, which is recognized as the Absolute beyond human consciousness.

I don't care about defending. I'm speaking from direct experience.

It’s as divine as Kalo says. I can share this aligns quite closely with my personal experience. I could say that for me it felt as if I was given up to Love. This Love was so all encompassing that it easily makes almost any neurotypical person uncomfortable unless they are in a complete Love awakening themselves.
