DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

confront nearly all the skeletons buried within their psyche. One should
approach these substances with a willingness to deal with whatever issues
come up. How one integrates a frightening or dark experience is important.
I generally find that I learn more from the unpleasant trips than I do from
the average psychedelic session. One can use these experiences to
re-evaluate their identity and ideas about life. If an unpleasant experience
comes during a trip it's best to flow with it, try to learn from it, and move on
to the next phase of the experience. There's no need to spend an entire
psychedelic session wrapped up in one issue or feeling.
One of the most important things to remember during a trip is to flow with
the experience. Don't try to hold on to your former identity as it is being
dissolved. Don't be afraid of letting go of a beautiful feeling or vision if it
starts to fade. If you're having a frightful experience don't run away from it,
but look at it and see what you can learn. And when you recognize that you
are starting to come down, don't rush to reclaim a familiar identity.
Reflection and easing back to routine reality will allow you to retain more
from your trip.
The psychedelic drugs differ significantly in intensity. The wiser users
gradually move from the milder to the more intense. For each psychedelic
I've assigned an intensity level from 1 to 10. (1 = mild, 10 = intense.) These
intensity levels are for an average experience on the substance. A high dose
of something like LSD can give one a level 10 intensity trip. And since the
experience is in the mind, one can even have a high intensity trip with a
small dose of a psychedelic.
