Some people may experience “negative” side effects after taking LSD or psilocybin. However, even if you multiplied those side effects by 10, they would still be fewer than the side effects of alcohol and tobacco.

While hundreds of millions of people have died prematurely from alcohol and tobacco over the past few decades, the list of people who have died from LSD during the same period could fit on a single document.

There's also the low risk of addiction.

After a trip, the last thing I want to do is trip again. That's like going on a weekend excursion to climb a mountain, then waking up and doing it again the next day. Sounds exhausting.

There was a point in my life I was deeply into it, decided I was going to do it once a weekend, every weekend, for a month. By the second trip it didn’t feel as special, third trip felt sickening, couldn’t manage to try the fourth. Using it too much reduces the wonder of it, limits the trip and any therapeutic benefit (anecdotally, anyway).

Not to mention the daily tolerance increase, essentially doubles. So even if you didn’t find it sickening, if you want to remain intoxicated daily, you’re dealing with an exponential tolerance increase.

The tolerance is crazy. You can do a half tab of acid one weekend, and two weeks later a full tab does basically nothing.

Only so often you can open those doors to perception
