Dangers of psychedelics to the brain chemistry

[Carl-Richard]

It's probably not very dangerous, but if you want to be 100% sure about everything, turn off your wifi and don't use your phone.

Then throw away your phone and live in a cave. 

Just make sure there are no bats with rabies and/or venomous spiders first.

@Breakingthewall Oh so yes come to think deeper I do have a friend who abused 5-meo/bufo a lot and now is in a very deep spiritual bypassing state where she constantly projects this false high/false toxic positivity to every question or response and denies everything else. It seems like she is deeply in spiritual-ego and doesn't know how to get out of it. All attempts to help her have been rejected and denied and seen as threats.

Almost as if she is in some false enlightenment, changed her name and calls herself galactic starfire or something... says she doesn't get triggered but clearly does and responds with false-positivity and false-love.

Too much light without darkness and grounding can Indeed blind us. These substances blow-open energetic centers and sometimes they cannot naturally re-stabilize. Leo also used to be very different when I first stumbled across these forums some years ago, his responses to members has shifted dramatically. One guy on the forums blindly followed leo like many here do and lost his ability to sleep and went insane with 5-meo use.

Many shamans suggest to refrain from such medicines and prefer more of the Ayahuasca, Iboga, Mushroom, Cactus paths.

They have much more long-history of use and experience so better safe than sorry.

THanks for sharing, i suppose it is very possible that something like this could happen. My sister lives in a hippie town and a shaman came giving toad (€150 per session btw), many sessions, and there were similar cases, even a guy committed suicide. In that town everyone greets each other giving a hug of about 6 seconds, and everything is good vibes. everything is fake, obviously, these people think that if they look happy and full of love, they will be happy and full of love, and they repress themselves more than a nun from 100 years ago. If these people seriously go down the psychedelic path, they may end up in a mental institution. the connection to earth to be like iron, and the integrity with oneself even more solid.

This is a thought provoking article which challenges psychedelic overbeliefs and discusses risk of long-term harm.

"Do psychedelics really always 'give us what we need'?

Psymposia is a psychedelic watchdog group.  This is a good source that cuts through the mass marketing hypeing of psychedelics, so that you can get more accurate information.   The “power trip” episodes expose abuse in the psychedelic community.

He is a danger to old ways of thinking and behaving, that’s for sure.
