Having partaken of psilocybins and LSD, albeit nearly thirty years ago, I felt like it had profound effects upon my outlook. I fully recognize it is hard to decouple the experience and my current reality from what might have been should I never have taken the compounds, but I’m left looking at my perceptions and those who I was very intimate with in those hallucenogenic experiences and I feel nothing but positive about it. Thirty years on and my relationship with those two individuals remains very deep and incredibly important to me. I did walk away from those experiences — somewhere around five, or six, with one bad trip, but I completely understood Leary’s comments about dose, set, and setting, unfortunately after the “bad trip”. In the end we are the reality our experiences have provided us and the interpretation we make of that, but I choose to see those times as very formative (along with many other non-drug experiences, of course) of the person I am today and they were facilitated by hallucinogenic compounds.
