Are psychedelics really this popular, or is lemmy just full of people that like them? I had assumed they were a rather niche thing, but the sentiment towards them here today (and not just this post either) seems notably positive, though the descriptions people give sound existentially horrifying to me. Then again, I get anxious enough towards drugs that Ive not even tried alcohol let alone anything less common, so maybe I’m just the weirdo here.
Other that fooling around on lemmy my hobby is going to raves so I use MDMA/MDA/LSD once or twice per month. All my friends I meet them on parties, so using is just part of the social circle, but we do other things sober too, like picnics or board game nights. I work in corporate so is something I don’t share with my coworkers, but my wife used to work in a restaurant and was pretty normal to go to party after her shift with her coworkers and get blasted
I also love MDMA on raves, but taking it twice per month is probably too much. Most people recommend 3 months or at least 2 months between uses if you do it regularly. MDMA will fuck you up if you don’t respect it.
I do 3 months between doses on MDMA and LSD, if if I have two parties in a month I fill the gap with MDA, in the rare months with 3 or more I just drink beer on those.
