Question
What was your favorite experience with psychedelics and why?
Answers
Well I’ve had quite a few, but one that stands out as particularly “amazing” would be one of the first times my friends and I ever took mescaline. we had a mega dose from the mega cactus as we called it. A good two feet of it per person. It took all day to strip the plant of its thin plastic membrane, pull out the prickles, and then boil the parts of the cacti with the most mescaline, down to a thick and slimy dark green paste of pure disgustingness.
After an hour of ingesting the vile liquid, the trip starts to come on. It inspires vomiting at about that time also.
After I threw up, I was thrust into the most magical and enchanting wonderland of beauty I have ever experienced.
We were at my friends parents house while they were away for the weekend. The sun was out, and it was a beautiful warm and windless summers day.
We were all sprawled out in various spots about the garden, some lying star-fished on the grass, some sitting calmly by the rose garden, and others in deck chairs on the deck.
I was one of star-fished on the grass. I was lying on my back behind a bunch of shrubs a little bit away from the others, so I could feel alone for a bit.
It came on strong. Man this was probably one my strongest ever psychedelic experiences I have ever had, even right up till now (except the Ayahuasca journeys of course). But unlike the Ayahuasca, there was nothing dark or ominous happening. It was pure light and beauty the whole way.
Everything became shimmery like on acid or mushrooms, and then well… psychedelic. The colors were extraordinary, the crisp clearness to the air, the trees, plants, flowers and grass was breathtaking. They were all alive, I could sense their life in a way I have never before noticed. It was amazingly beautiful and quite profound.
Now the main reason why this trip was different to any other I had experienced since or after is because it was purely all about my environment. It was all about the stuff around me, the things outside of myself. I had no internal chatter going on. None, Ziltch. My mind was as calm as a Buddha monks. It was like I was in super observer mode, capable of fully appreciating everything around me with extra perceptual acuteness.
There were no scary hallucinations, or anything ominous at all.. the whole time. It was pure bliss, calm, and magical wonder. It was like being in a fairy tale book like Alice in Wonderland. I could sense little fairies, dancing in and around particular plants in the garden, bees and butterflies actually smiling. I witnessed all sorts of interactions in nature, such as a cat sneaking along the top of a fence approaching it prey, a couple of little birdies playing on the grass. I whispered to the birds “pssst, little birdies, watch out for the cat... Somehow they understood me perfectly and flew away up to a high branch in a tree beyond the cats reach. As I lay on the grass and watched the incredible beauty of life unfold around me, I felt connected to it all. This feeling grew stronger and stronger as the trip became stronger and stronger in intensity.
Eventually I was part of it all. I could feel everything nature was feeling, and I had become quite close to one thing in particular. It was a big oak tree, a majestic big tree which dominated the whole back yard. It was old and wise and beautifully graceful. We naturally manifested a special connection, a bond, and so I decided to climb her. I climbed up to as high as I could without feeling uncomfortable, and I stayed there for a least a couple of hours. I was watching the sky a lot, and that was incredible, as the clouds formed into all sorts of shapes I could immediately identify. The sky told me a great story that day, a profound story of how nature works. I can’t explain that story right now, I can only remember the feeling, the knowing… I was fascinated and enthralled, just extraordinary. I then observed a small whole in the bark, and noticed it was home to a little beetle. I watched the wee beetle peek out from his hole and look at me. I could sense it was not frightened, as I could also sense it could sense me in the same way I could sense it.. we both understood that we were the very same thing… we were both life itself. It’s such a good feeling when you connect in this way with another identity. It makes you feel very special and that you are meant to be here.
I could go on… but I think you get the idea… what an amazing trip I had that day. Simply astonishing and profoundly beautifully deep.

I had a number of psychedelic trips worthy of telling. I was at a Talking Heads show at the former Agora Ballroom in Hartford CT. Burning Spear was the opening act. There was a serious snow and ice storm that night. These things will be relevant towards the end of the tale.
We arrived early and immediately ran into a dude selling sugar cubes dosed with LSD. He promised us they were “the bomb” and offered us a “money back guarantee.” We each took one sugar cube before the opening act. By the break between acts we didn’t really feel much so we went looking for the dude. We found him. My friend was a big, mean looking guy and he got in the dealer’s face: “you ripped us off.” The dealer said: “no, this shit is the real deal.” He gave us two more but cautioned us. We put the sugar cubes in our mouths. About 10 minutes after that the first dose started to come up.
The first dose caused an altering of reality and some hallucinations. 30 minutes or so later the lights went down and the Talking Heads took the stage. The music was a perfect complement to the experience. By mid-set the band was melting onto the stage in a puddle of light and color. It was one of the purest and most dramatic trips I’ve ever experienced. It seemed very clean. And strong. If I had to guess I’d suppose there was 250ug in each sugar cube meaning we had take 500ug. That is way outside my normal comfort zone.
When the show ended we were still deep into the trippy part of the experience. There was no way we were going to try to drive. So we hung out in the parking lot as everyone else left and the tour buses and trucks remained. At some point the crew and opening act came out. They came over to check on us. They commented that we were some partying fools and were pretty cool white dudes. They decided we’d be alright and got on their bus.
A couple hours later a police car cruised the parking lot and pulled up alongside us. I rolled down the passenger window and said Hi. They shined the flashlight in and asked what we were doing. Quick thinking I said “we both had too much to drink and are waiting to a bit to get sober before driving.” The cop smiled and said something like “damn good idea especially in this mess” (referring to the snow and ice). The other cop from the car looked less friend and circled the car shining in the flashlight. I think he was going to harass us further when they got a call on the radio about violence nearby. They left but not before the meaner officer said “don’t be here later. Technically you’re loitering.”
We waited a few more hours. It was way too intense to drive and we certainly weren’t going to get home and sleep. We decided to risk staying right there as it seemed overall the safest alternative. My friend was a good 100 pounds larger than me and seemed to come back to earth quicker. He had driven that night. We headed home around sunrise. Cars were still shape shifting for me.
To this day when I hear the Talking Heads I smile and recall David Byrne just melting to a colorful puddle on stage. It’s similar to the Grateful Dead in that the music alone brings on positive, trippy feelings.

I went to the skate park after I had taken about 250ug of acid. This was on an 80-degree Saturday.
(Side note, I really love skating on acid because I have an insane amount of energy)
But anyway, I was there doing tricks and stuff, and this woman pulled up in a minivan with her kids. They had bikes and scooters and were there to enjoy the hot day outside.
I was sweating really hard at this point because I was making myself tired, and the woman noticed. She called me over and gave me a bottle of water. I said “Thank you” but I'm not sure that's what came out because I was tripping very hard at this point and couldn't really have a conversation with anyone. My pupils had to have been huge and I probably sounded like I didn't understand English.
I accepted the water, then continued to skate. Over the course of the next half hour, she would come over and give me several granola bars, fruit snacks, and more water when she felt I needed them. Keep in mind, I had no idea who this woman was.
Basically, she was acting like a mother to me, and at that moment, I realized there are some really good and genuinely nice people in this world, despite all the hatred and evil I see every day.
I’ll never forget her, and her teal minivan.

I drove 14 hours to Washington for a rave once because my all time favorite dj, S3rl, was in the states. Dropped acid with my buddy and his gf. Never tripped so hard in my life! The best part of this is I met this guy named Noah. His rave name was Navi cause he guides you through the trip xD we went on incredible adventures around the venue, it was great! Especially since he knew trips. There was a point where we were sitting against the wall by a speaker and his gf wanted him to stand up with her. Just that. Not go anywhere, just stand up. He asked me if it was OK that he did that. Because I'm rather experienced myself I'm like “duh dood, go ahead!” But it means a lot because if you know how it is to be tripping, you know something as small as going “over there” or standing up can completely change the trip. He wanted to make sure that wouldn't trigger some bad vibes.
I meet new people tripping occasionally but this guy was awesome!! It was a great night haha

I went through a short, very short, (three instances,) phase of experimentation. The very first time I ingested a mish mosh of substances, some blotter acid, two mushrooms and a number of gorund bay hawaiin woodrose seeds. It was very memorable and I believe it gave me a lot of insight intomy life at the time that seemed to keep unfolding for me over a number of years. Problem with that one was that the woodrose seeds were poorly cleaned (they have a natural cyanide coating that must be cleaned off completely) and my kidneys shut down for a number of painful, hours. However I didnot aqnd do not regret it one bit. Then I did mushrooms twice, but not a huge dose either time, andthey were amazing and insightful for me. Now at 68, I am ready to experiment again. I want to explore my fears.. of getting older, of death, and I believe I am better balanced mentally now than then. However, I have not been able to find a reputable source of the medicines, so I must simply be patient,.

Psychedelics are part of my religion. Those experiences have helped shape me into the person I am today. But those trips are highly personal. In general, I don’t discuss the details.
The trips with the strongest impact have been what most would consider bad experiences. Those were the ones that scared the hell out of me and made me examine my mortality, up close and personal.
But those experiences dealt with MY mortality and nobody else’s. So the details would be irrelevant to anybody else.

You have posted this question as anonymous with no details, so I cannot in good consciousness recommend one way or another without some idea of what you life is like. What I write below are my general suggestions to a first-time tripper
Many mental health issues and medications relating to the aforementioned may constitute a counterindication. Look into this if it might be an issue
go slow, know your source, and have someone sober around to watch over you. Preferably that someone will have experienced that substance before, and know what reaction to expect out of you
Pick your setting well. I recommend away from people and in the morning, right after breakfast. Any bad trip, or a trip about to go bad, is a lot easier to deal with in daylight than in the middle of the night when you can't see for shit. If you like visuals just close your eyes, open-eye visuals are overrated and are a trip hazard (ha, see what I did there?) Also you really dont want to be tired. Thats why daytime is best, as you run out of energy, you still can't sleep, and body feels wrong. Wrong is no good, avoid it. The worst thing to do is to take a hit at midnight after 8 beers and no food since lunch because the party is getting “good". Bad idea. Bad bad bad
Eat well before, and have easy, inoffensive food and drink available and close by. During a long acid trip you might get hungry and have no idea — that can mean a bad trip. If someone experienced prompts you to eat 6 hours in, it may be the best thing you do
Do not bring weed or booze into the mix; that can really mess you up if you are not ready for it. The only way to be ready is to have some experience, don't drink until you are well on your way down. If you are a toker don't smoke weed at all until next day
If you have access to them, risperidone or haloperidol can stop an acid/mushroom/many other trips dead in their tracks. Have a dose ready just in case. Simply knowing that you can stop it at any time will pretty much guarantee a pleasant experience. Beware that a heavy dose of acid will keep you going for up to 10-12 hrs or more, and risperidone/haldol is only good for 2-4, so you might feel like you're coming up again, I which case either roll with it, or take another one
Don't use alone, ever

One night myself and 3 other mates dropped acid planning a night on the town. That never happened.
Instead. 20 minutes after we'd dropped them we were sitting around laughing and enjoying it's come on when the house phone rang. It was an anonymous caller that knew our names. They were threatening us with a home invasion with bodily harm. That's when it happened.
I hallucinated all 4 of us were on fire. There was red,green,orange, blue. Each one was a different colour. We took turns on the phone raging back and forth at the callers still not knowing who they were. our flames were simering like the flame on a box of redhead matches. If I was on the phone my flame grew massive like a gallon of petrol was thrown on me. It was the same for the other 3.
I enjoyed that feeling and although it was 25 years ago I still remember that powerful feeling. For hours we were taking turns raging and screaming back at that phone. Whilst this was going on I went into full battle mode barrackading doors and even made a sort of makeshift fort/ tower on the roof. Finally after 8 hours of raging and hallucinating we discovered who was calling and then took it mobile in search for the callers.
I'll never forget that feeling of being on fire and in full rage mode over a telephone. We screamed at them and they screamed back. We even took turns in order so nobody missed a turn. Chests got thumped and bullshit spoken but that night we were all powerful..

I experienced pure “I”. Some call it God… I think calling it This or Everything or Nature or Life is most accurate.
I have also experienced biographical transpersonal states of consciousness. These are experiences that feel to be from another life in a seperate existence or dimension or something. Perhaps, it is genetically passed memories from humanity before me, which LSD allow to rise to surface consciousness from the unconscious.
I’ve experienced the fear, despair, anxiety and greed of the entirety of humanity, all at once, all concentrated in a moment.
I’ve also experienced the love, hope, and joy of the entirety of humanity.
All these experiences are nothing short of amazing. Not necessarily fun or enjoyable, but inspiring, insightful, and awesome. I highly recommend the psychedelic experience to any individual who is mentally stable and self-selected in pursuing the psychedelic experience.

Trip report: The pact with the Devil!
Dose: 350ug LSD, with a unique blotter art on it, grayish hall type structure. Plus 200mg MDMA.
06:00 I'm smoking cigarette on my balcony, where the thought to do acid popped up, which I had been planning for weeks. So I called my friend, Ashlay, from whom I'd score the acid, in the evening, he said he's at home and I can come anytime to take it. I was tired at that point, so I just made two lines of MDMA, snorted them, went out. 06:30 I reached at his place, 07:00 I dropped the acid and left for my place to trip. 08:30, I'm at the lane of my home, purchasing few items, colddrink, juice, vitamins, a energy bar, etc. At that point, I'm feeling the energy flowing through my veins. I quickly grabbed the items and started walking furiously towards my house, nearly at 20kmps, which is definitely not a walking speed. I unlocked the door, switched on the lights, and kept the stuffs on side. I drank little juice, smoked two bowls of weed, light up a cigarette and went to bathroom. While I was in the bathroom, I realized the trip is having a tremendous body load and I need to lay down. I laid on my back, play psytrance, and switched off the lights. After 5 minutes, I felt the urge to smoke another bowl, so I went and sparked another bowl and took a massive hit, locked it and went back to bed. Now, the track is 140 BPM, I suddenly realized that my heart rate( HR ) is getting dangerously high, with the passage of time, I came to a realization that it's trying to match the BPM of the track. Soon they were equal; my HR and song BPM. Track changed, 160bpm, again changed, now 200 bpm. I got to a point where I thought my heart would burst outta my chest. I quickly unplugged the headphones I was wearing and closed the track. I laid there, still, within a span of few seconds, my internal body started vibrating, and soon it became even external. I'm vibrating at a rate which is genuinely not possible doing that at will. So now, me nearly at verge of a heroic trip, started breathing deeply and locking it up. Soon I saw the closed eye visuals ( CEVs ) are changing and trying to match up with the track. I kn w this synchronicity very well, as I'm into music. Soon the visuals turned into Mandala, Mandala turning into 'crysanthemum' I realized I'm at a point where I might have a breakthrough on acid. I took few more deep breaths and then stopped breathing altogether. Suddenly my body started expanding, like in was genuinely feeling like as if someone has pushed the air nozzle from some machine into me. Like within 30 Seconds, all my visions gone and is replaced by dark, pitch black of absolute nothingness. I kept rotating my eye balls to get familiar with the zone and tried to find something in that void. But it was a void, null, nothingness. I tried to open my eyes, realizing that I've lost the motor controls over it, actually I have had already entered Sleep paralysis after getting laid, just my eyes had control over them, now even it is gone. Now I'm just waiting for the universe to show its show to me. A dark figure in shadows appeared and slowly the edges became clear. It was him, the lucifer, who had responded to my message of help in the astral dimensions and he came to my rescue( maybe? ).From total sleep paralysis, I came totally to my senses, with whole motor controls back in action. I managed to go to the washroom and took a bath somehow, to reduce the overheating that was occuring. I washed off myself and went back to bed. Intially at Savasan, lying straight on your back, with hands and legs stretched, but soon my legs and hands opened, and sorta made the nefarious pentagram sign with my body. I heard voices of unusual frequencies. I stayed in that position for a while, only to zoop out of the bed in fury. I then sat in cross legged position, with hands on my knees, and thumb placed at the root of tiny finger. I started chanting "om". The vibrations came back, I started to breath deeply, watching my breathework. I felt a tremendous blow of energy sticking me from within and I swapped my hands around, they're in harmonic motion and making majestic symbols on its way. I then streched my hands sideways and could sense the energy field that is getting built up over and around my hands. I fell back to bed and then again got up, cross legged.
Now I'm writing something with my fingers, with both my hands simultaneously, on my things, I'm writing and then rubbing those parts, as if I'm destroying the traces of the leftovers. This kept happening few more times. Untill the whole things was written, or so do I think, and then not even lifting the fingers from the body, I plunged them into my thighs slowly moving them, in a sacred geometric way, coming from the lower thighs, making their way up to the upper thighs, and then crossing over the back, changing their direction, went up to my neck and then to the forehead and Bam, all the body load is gone, when I burped out load.
I then fell back again on bed, this time quite lifeless.
I was emitting energy in every direction. I closed my eyes again and the visuals are back. Majestic they are this time. Around 5AM in the morning, I realized the peak is wearing off, I went for a walk, smoked a cigarette, saw a majestic sunrise, got back home and slept in peace.

Ooh I've had quite a few but my favorite was very simple and sweet.
We took our preferred substance at our usual time and settled in. I had decided to start doing a yoga session to loosen up and before I knew it everyone was massaging me. I say everyone but it was really only my boyfriend at the time but because I was so into the headspace, it felt overstimulating but in a good way.
I was massaged from head to toe for over an hour into a state of ecstasy that I have rarely ever found again. That was when I realized, even when not on anything, when I could relax my mind for a massage I could really really relax my body.
I've never looked at massages the same and am very picky about whom I allow to give or receive them from myself. I think this experience singularly increased my own sensitivity and awareness surrounding the drug itself and massages in that state.

Sex on LSD.
It took TWELVE HOURS and was by turns slow and frenetic- we laughed, cried, talked, were silent, were more or less telepathic, merged, and never lost, uh, contact.
Wow. I realize I can’t describe all of it but it was the most INTIMATE experience of my life on every possible level.

I had gotten my hands on some lsd for the third time and was so excited to finally try again, after about a period of 4 months since my last trip. I had been interested in lsd for years. I decided to spend the trip with 3 of my friends. I hastily poppped 3 tabs at 110mcg each.
We went to eat at a restaurant. This was about 1 hour after I had taken it. I remember feeling little weird, but I ignored it. I ordered a bison burger. I was starving.
So we got our food and started eating. We were talking about making some youtube video. This went on for a while and I struggled a bit to finish the whole burger but I managed. I was feeling like it was time to go back to my friends so I could trip.
Thats when I noticed my friends had barely taken a bite or two from their food! I was like wtf!! How are they eating so slow. They looked at me and were astonished that I ate my burger in under a minute. I was so confused. A solid ten minutes had gone by for me, but to them it was only a minute.
I got a little nervous but realised I am obviously starting to trip and this made me a kind of nevous/cautios excited. So we paid (I failed epicly trying to use the machine) and we walked to my friend car. I dont remember much but everything felt different. We decided to go to the back of a school to smoke some weed.
I was feeling the effects but they didnt feel very strong. I was still a cocky kid and didnt respect the substance. So I took a couple of bong hits.
Holy shit.
Fractals just appeared everywhere. I was slowly losing my sense of time. I very proufoundly remember my friend asking where the lighter is 1000 times. In reality he asked just twice. But I heard it 1000 times. It was like this moment just kept repeating for eternity. This really freaked me out. I remember constantly switching rapidly from extreme fear and only what I can call pain to baseline then to extreme ecstasy. This was probably my bipolar. Anyway my friends could tell I was freaking out so we went back to my friends.
I dont remember much from this part but I remember sitting in my backyard listing off my family member one by one, and feeling deep emotions each time. I saw a tree and I said “ohhhhhh fractals” and felt like I discovered the key to the universe.
Anyway, my friends had to go so they decided to drive me to Tim Hortons (coffee shop). This was like 1 am. My friend told the cashier I was drugged at a party and if they could watch me. They agreed and my friends left.
This is when my ego death started. I know lonher understood who or what I am. I remember seeing family members and friends everyhwere. These were of course random people but I felt I could see underneath their outside appearence.
I realised noone is real. They are all just part of me, and I am the only true being. It gets darker and darker. I realise I am dying and my fate is being decided. That is why I keep switching from a hellish atmosphere to bliss. I realised I might be going to hell.
I see myself in everyones eyes. There are no longer others. Just me. The police are called. When they show up they put me in the back of their car. This is when I realise I fucked up in life and I am getting the bad ending. I keep apologizing.
The paramedics show up. They put me in the ambulance. At this point I fully 100% accept that I am dead. There are two paramedics. This part is engrained in me forever. There is an older lady and a younger one. I instantly recignise my mom and sister (not irl). I realise how important they are to me. I beg the paramedics to please please give me one more chance. They are obviously angels.
They look at me with sadness, but reasure me. I am taken to the hospital and I am slowly realising I am coming back to life. I am overjoyed. The younger paramedic looked through my bag and found lots of drugs and stuff. We had a deep conversation about why I feel the need to do such things.
Anyway I come back to life and I am contemplating what to do now. My mom ends up picking me up.
I do not regret this trip. It did scar me for almost a year, leaving me with delusional thoughts. But I did get over it and it was a learning experience.
What really stays with me is the imagery of heaven and hell and the fear I felt. Fear beyond what I thought was possible. Fear that was actual pain. But it humbled me and I realised how severe my mental issues really were, giving me a new respect for both my mind and LSD.
The infinite moment (the lighter part) was also proufound. I had experienced time dilation before but this was the first time time really stopped. I did not think that experience was possible.
Finally, the feeling of being the only concious entity was enlightening, but I cannot explain on quora why as it only makes sense to me.

DMT is the most powerful psychedelic next to ayahuasca, which I have never tried. DMT is extreme, after a hit you will be in another dimension, what you take back from this journey is up to you. For other psychedelics LSD still provides very intense visual experiences, and high doses of mushrooms will also produce this. If you are looking for an intense visual and mind opening psychedelic experience, DMT will satisfy you. But personally, my favorite is LSD, not only the crazy visuals you get with open and closed eyes, but the emotions you feel, and it is much easier to feel in control on LSD than mushrooms.

actually only just had my last trip 2 days ago (LSD). I don’t quite know the dose as the guy who gave it to me didn’t know how much it was. I do know that I’ve taken 130 ug before and this was WAY more. I should say that I probably have mild aspergers which alters the effects a bit.
Anyway I first took half a tab and after an hour I didn’t feel anything. So I took another half, 45 minutes later I still didn’t feel anything. So I took yet another half a tab. Half an hour later it all started to hit me at the same time.
I didn’t really notice much at first as I was still watching youtube and therefore didn’t really feel it that strongly. I then looked down on my table for a moment and at first I was shocked because it looked like I had spilled water on it. But when I touched it it wasn’t wet so I knew it was the visuals that started appearing. I then looked at the wall and it was full of letters and numbers, though some of them weren’t even real letters/numbers. Looking around there were all sorts of patterns. Like on my wooden ceiling which has these slightly darker stripes in them (like regular wood usually has), the stripes began pulsating, becoming darker and then brighter again. Looking back at the wall there were pores all over it which first became bigger and then disappeared again.
I then went to lie on my bed for a while. When I closed my eyes I could see very strong fractals and geometric patterns that would constantly shift their form.
From that I realized that nature might always change and shapeshift, but it’s all part of the same system just rearranging itself in different forms. When we die our bodies decompose for nature to make something new out of it.
I also had the somewhat normal “in the end everything is love” experience but I don’t quite remember how I got there.
Anyway the lying on the bed with closed eyes part was quite an awesome experience and I’ll definitly do it again..

Question
Which psychedelic is your favorite, and why?
Answers
My favourite psychedelic is psilocin. The active ingredient in magic mushrooms.
I find it to be the most therapeutic one. It really does force you to confront things about yourself you don't like or have pushed aside.
It may sound cliche, but it's the most “natural” feeling one. On acid for example it's really speedy. But shrooms just feel natural.
You can also talk to aliens on shrooms, believe me or not. You gotta take like 5 grams though.
The visuals can get really deep.
Mostly it's because it has been the most therapeutic to me, and it's arguably the safest one. And it's cheap.

In my opinion I think LSD is probably the best psychedelic to try for your first time.
Unlike other psychedelics like mushrooms or DMT, LSD is much more predictable and consistent. As opposed to shrooms and DMT which can be very unpredictable at times.
It's also the most fun in my opinion. It has the best combination of laughter, body high, psychedelic vision, and once you get towards the end you turn into Socrates lmao.
You know exactly what you're going to get with LSD. Of course that's if your taking modest amounts 1–3 tabs. Once you start going higher than that it gets a lot more intense and trips can vary widely in that case.
Just make sure you have your set and setting correct. Understand trips can last up to 12 hours so plan accordingly and know that the come up with acid can be very strong and uncomfortable, at least for me.
Once you get past the come up it's just smooth sailing into psychedelic wonderland.
Have a safe trip 🙂

I love all of the classic psychedelics equally in their own way, as they are all incomparable to each other.
Mushrooms and ayahuasca have my favorite headspace, with very mystical effects that feel like a religious experience. DMT has the most beautiful visuals amd has made me a better artist. LSD has the best auditory effects, such as music euphoria and synesthesia. And mescaline is very gentle but introspective, making it great for thinking about things with a new perspective.
I probably use LSD more frequently than any of the others, as it is easier for me to get at the moment and the easiest for me to recover from a trip. If I time it well and get well rested after an acid trip, I always feel amazing the next day.
I don’t use other drugs, like cannabis or MDMA.

YES!!!!! YES AND YES!!!! Pretty much every psychedelic trip I have had is worth telling!!! LSD is a drug I truly believe every human being should have to try at least once!.

LSD has benefited me most.
LSD made me more self-aware, less greedy for material things, and less attached to the material world, while it also made me realize the futility of the entire current way of life, of the system, of it all.
LSD shifted my view of life from it being something plain and dull, to it being a stimulating and powerful spiritual journey, it has put me on a path seeking something other than matter, something purer.
I have realized how easy it is to miss life when you live for tomorrow instead of today, for later instead of now, always running toward that destination that you never get to. Life is about the journey, not the destination.
LSD allowed me to truly love myself for the first time since being very little. Through my LSD experiences I have come closer to discovering my true self, which I hid beneath many insecurities I developed as I matured.
LSD taught me self-compassion, and it also taught me that the key to life is balance.
I feel it reasonable to say that LSD gave me a new life, after all, I did experience death and rebirth while under the influence of LSD.
I will forever be thankful to the man who invented this chemical, Albert Hofmann has helped change my life.
Quite simply, LSD woke me up to reality. It allowed me to cultivate a way of thought which allows me to see things more clearly, especially myself.
I had a “spiritual awakening” on LSD. It was difficult, I experienced tremendous suffering, a dark night of the soul, if you will, but now I reap the benefits, which I try to share with all.
Drugs like LSD have helped me a lot in my short 20 years of life.
They have freed me from the way I was brought up to think, a manner of thought reflective of our controlling and dominator type civilization.
LSD has enabled me to see raw truth, which is to understand that there is no such thing.
LSD has helped bring my consciousness back to square one, where I can think more accurately and freely, for myself only, free from external pressures.
LSD enlightened me, if you take Immanuel Kant’s definition of enlightenment: “man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage”
No one, group, government or whatever can tell me what is wrong or what is right, what I should do or not do...
I know for myself now. I can be still and know.
I also feel I have a calling to help this world and make it better than it is, anyway I can, big or small... I don't care what I do, I just need to help make the world a better place for everyone, because I am coming to realize that truly, the true me, my highest Self, it truly loves everyone, and I just want everyone to be as happy and loving as possible, including myself...
“I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance, LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.” - Albert Hofmann

I would say San Pedro (with Mescaline in it), Magic Mushrooms (with Psilocybin) and Ayahuasca (with DMT). They other psychedelics (including High-THC cannabis) also have their (short-term) benefits of course, but also their danger (psychological instability). With the “bitter nature-psychedelics”, there seems to be living a guiding plant spirit with higher wisdom, for some more like a grandfather or a grandmother, and the origin of the plant (Mexico, Peru or Brazil) seems to reverberate during the experience.
The benefits are self-knowledge, overview of one’s life in every detail (“life-review), re-experiencing of traumas and its catharsis/reconciliation etc. Basically more power and optimism in the following weeks or months. During that time it is vital to change your environment (if necessary) to have a even longer positive effect. Like changing your job, so-called “friends”, bad habits etc..
