    Just don’t breath the shit, safer still. There are ways to do deep mental exploration without drugs.

      Which take hours of daily work for years. Tell that to people suffering from depression who are struggling to get the most basic things done, like showering regularly. A single session with the right psychedelic can give you a push into an upward cycle thats worth hundreds of hours of mental training.

      Nitrous Oxide is not really needed for it though imo, its more of an added pleasure thing. But LSD is one of the safest drugs we know and its benefits compared to other drugs like coffee (wakes you up) are enormous.

        Actually, yeah. This much is true. On my way out of religion, I had a friend offer to Sherpa for my first trip. I’m glad I took her up on it. She was compassionate, thoughtful, and very experienced. Definitely reacquainted me with some things I thought I’d buried, and I finally got to put them to bed for good.

        I wouldn’t recommend it for everybody, obviously. But for an extremely confusing and distressing period in my life, it probably saved me years and years of emotional agony.
