I miss my tripping days.

But basically—same here.

My first psilocybin trip was profoundly transformative. In a good way.

My acid trips no less so.

While you really can’t get addicted to psychedelics—I loved the experience of LSD so much that I took it constantly. Sometimes taking it so much that I would be unable to get off and would be forced to take a respite until I could get off again.

In those days, I considered “moderation” a dirty word…😉
