Thanks, Jennifer! I also have some beginner-friendly articles linked on the "Psychedelics" tab on homepage (how to know if you're ready, which medicine to choose, how to prepare, etc.) Let me know if you have any questions!

I love this article! I haven't really tried any of the psychedelics mainly because I'm scared of it. Mostly because just pot/weed has such a different effect on me than on most people. I have tried a number of times thinking the last time was just a one off. No, I hate the way I feel. Anxiety like I can't even explain, paranoia and feeling that everyone is talking and laughing at me because I get very self conscious in that state.

Sorry to lose the plot 😅 I'm just saying. That's where my fear of psychedelics come from.

Hi there. I totally hear where you're coming from. I have to note that weed is very different and makes a lot of people paranoid and anxious. I'm not an anxious person but have had terrible experiences with weed, particularly edibles, so I don't use it often. Psychedelics are much different in my opinion, and if anxiety comes up, it's usually something to explore (and potentially breakthrough) -- it doesn't feel as random as it can with weed. Just some food for thought :)

Loved this and sent it to a friend who is a wachuma fan. I think the fact that it takes so long to metabolize is the reason why it’s not always ideal. But I’m a fan too and wrote about it in my first book, Cactus Friends. But it does do a number on my stomach.
