Yes, it is a major risk. I’m unsure why people want to pretend that it isn’t. Everyone knows someone who unexpectedly changed forever for the worse bc of these drugs. It also happened to me even though I had perfect set and setting, I was traumatised by it for years, and I know if I took it again today I would still have a bad time. And yet I’ve met multiple people who have told me that the issue is that I just didn’t take enough, some even going as far as saying that I’m stuck in some kind of purgatory unless I take a heroic dose

Wildly irresponsible, many of the fans of these drugs, who seem to talk as if things like risk and responsibility are just constructs from the man trying to keep you down

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe not.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

And again another irresponsible person comes to try and whisper in my ear “try it again”. Absolutely horrific morality
They did not do that.
Yes they literally did. I spoke on various topics, one of those being about how people try to convince me to take more drugs. Their sole response? Telling me, in effect, "maybe you won't have a bad trip next time". This cannot be interpreted in any other way than to convince me to open up to the possibility of taking such drugs again which is exactly what I am criticising.

So yes, they did do that.

> Yes they literally did

No.

One in technology should learn to not speak about things in such absolutes, we get proven silly time and time again.

It seems your LSD experience further traumatized you.

I am sorry you had a bad experience.

Now you are mocking me? Why do you want to make me take LSD again?
