For those seeking to break down the barriers of the mind, psilocybin and mescaline are the most intelligent options. SWIM (Someone Who Isn't Me) grew mushrooms and peyote cactus to enable revelations in the minds of consenting adults, and every single person who ingested these naturally-occurring organic substances thanked SWIM for a life-changing experience.

That said, there are obvious risks to glorifying psychedelic use, especially when available psychedelics are usually in the form of LSD. While these synthetic compounds can yield the same results as their organic counterparts, there is no way to verify the amount of LSD in a dose. Overdosing on LSD can trigger schizophrenia and several other mental problems in those who are prone to it. This is why SWIM recommends organic psychedelic compounds that can be clearly measured into an appropriate dosage for the individual's size and past psychedelic experience.

There is also an overwhelming trend amongst unscrupulous suppliers to market doses of DOC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chloroamphetam...) as LSD. While the observed effect of the two are similar, DOC can be extremely dangerous to those with hypertension and high blood pressure. DOC is also an amphetamine with greater risk of physical addiction.

SWIM also wants to point out that SWIM engaged in countless adventures with varying levels of psilocybin and mescaline dosages, and arrived at the conclusion that psychedelic substances are not necessary for seeing the beauty in life or the purpose that one may have in this world. SWIM's most transformative revelations came about while completely sober at a Taoist monastery of the Wudang mountains in China. It is SWIM's opinion that all can know beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness (Tao Te Ching, chapter 2), and now urges people to pursue safe and well-known techniques (meditation, yoga, tai chi, qi gong) for improving one's state of mind.

Nor psilocybin in a mushroom...

The variance in potency is negligible, especially when compared to the variance in potency of LSD doses. It is generally known amongst those taking mushrooms that 2 - 3 grams is within most people's comfort level. The real variance comes from how dry the mushrooms are - mushrooms that are more moist will be less potent. This is why a responsible mushroom grower will thoroughly dry their mushrooms before consuming them.

The psilocybin in a mushroom is going to be psilocybin in a mushroom.
