Have some childhood issues too and a hit of acid changed me for about fifteen years. Hadn't done it before or since. It was like my brain was suddenly rewired to see good in the world and desire to be a part of it. Literally I sprung out of my support job and launched a superstar career, changed the world a little through good honest work.

I'd done some 'e' before that but the positive effects lasted more on the order of several weeks, while I have some fond memories of feeling loved for the first time and meeting people and being social, I'm not sure if or how it contributed to my good years.

So apparently it is common for childhood issues to resurface during middle age. Common as in the therapists retort "Well what else do you expect?" I hope this doesn't happen to you... I am too old and responsible to be taking risks with street drugs. Mainstream pharma seems to affect patients very differently, and I have heard regrets about doing mdma and bad trip stories about LSD.

Thanks for relating your experience, it is very interesting to me because we have some similar background and got such great assistance from taboo chems. I have related the results of my acid trip to various kinds of people across the social spectrum, from beatniks to white shirt C levels and a USN Admiral, and not many people get it.
