soul. They also say that when the body and soul are purlfied one will no
longer feel discomfort from the Peyote. I've often noticed that psychedelics
purge and cleanse my body in a manner similar to fasting Many users
experiment with different diets or fasting prior to tripping, which can
eliminate or reduce nauseous feelings during the trip.
Some people feel exhausted or out of touch with reality the day after a
psychedelic trip. This can be expected since they went through so much
during the experience. Many users find it's good to have an extra day after
the trip to recuperate before returning to work, etc. Avoiding familiar
routines for a day allows people to retain more from their psychedelic
journeys.
Hopefully anybody using these substances knows that while high, it is
dangerous to drive, fly a plane, etc. I'd like to emphasize this point since we
live in a society where driving while intoxicated on alcohol is fairly
common.
Many people may have driven while mildly high on a psychedelic without
getting into accidents. However, I'm sure there are some who drove while
tripping and are no longer alive to tell about it. If one were to take a large
dose of a psychedelic they would be in a state of mind where the world that
appears before their eyes is going through massive changes each moment.
They may have difficulty recalling their name, and driving would be totally
out of the question. Smaller doses of psychedelics produce similar but
milder changes in one's consciousness. The psychedelic experience is
simply not compatible with the split-second decisions and maneuvers one
must routinely make while driving around in a two-ton chunk of steel at 60
MPH.
I think that to get the most from a psychedelic experience one must put
aside time completely devoted to the experience, and take a dose that
significantly alters perception. The "recreational" use of smaller amounts of
psychedelics, as is common in social settings such as raves, concerts, and
parties, seldom provides one with a full spectrum of the psychedelic
experience. This is not to say that using psychedelics in this context can not
be beneficial or enjoyable, but many people I have spoken with who have
used psychedelics in only this type of setting don't appear to have had deep
or powerfully transformational experiences. In a situation where
transportation is required, people should try to have a friend drive them,
take a cab, or simply beam themselves wherever they wish to go!
Anyone who has any type of health problem, or is taking prescription or
over-the- counter medicines, should be cautious using psychedelics. Most
