Sadly, I’m seeing a new trend of people taking too many psychedelics and going off the rails.

The way they’re being pushed as cure-alls for depression is getting scary.

One of my friends developed severe problems after following the microdosing trend. It developed slowly over a long period of time, but he thought he was okay because he was following one of those protocols from one of the biggest microdosing experts.

Syd Barrett and Peter Green always come to mind, as well as some local examples who wander the streets aimlessly. The appeal of psychedelics for depression –Or rather, what I thought was depression– tempted a younger me, until I observed that the people I knew who swore by it were quite strange and not exactly exemplars of good mental health.
