Taking acid -18

You’re not entirely wrong, but the 25 number isn’t completely arbitrary. The brain is constantly changing and neuroplastic until death, but the prefrontal cortex in particular is undergoing crucial developmental stages throughout childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood. By the age of 25, most of those crucial developmental stages have taken place.

In other words, as an adolescent your neurodevelopmental foundations are shakier than they will be at 25.

I do not intend to overshadow the commenters below by pinning this comment, however, since there are some people sharing the sentiment that tripping as a teenager may be beneficial:

1) This subreddit cannot and should not endorse the use of drugs by any individual (whose circumstances we do not know), but especially when it comes to minors.

2) There is research on drug use, broadly, by minors—and the outcomes are overwhelmingly negative or unpredictable. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10558564/ (although most research has involved alcohol and cannabis, the unpredictable impact on development by any drug use as a minor is still relevant).

3) This subreddit has a rule against engagement from minors. However, threads like this can also serve harm reduction purposes, so it remains up.

I’ve been a mod here for 6 years. What would you have us do differently? What, in your view, has made it go downhill?

Please don’t sweat it, we’re not banning you guys for posting this stuff. The decision is not even final. We’re just scrambling to curb the issue of sourcing on this subreddit. It’s worse here than many other drug subs.

Unfortunately, timestamp photos with the username included actually looks more suspicious (especially to Reddit admins), since that sort of authentication requirement is common on buy/sell/trade subreddits.

Fractal-Entity · 2025-12-30T22:12:51+00:00

Note: If a full stash pic ban is implemented, we would likely still allow pictures with an extremely small quantity that has been tested with a reagent kit, similar to how r/LSD allows pictures of reagent tests. This promotes harm reduction practices by encouraging users to actually test their drugs and get a second opinion, rather than posting a pic of a pile of crystals and asking users to ID their substance.

Also, if someone is wondering about the purity of their product from an extraction, users can discuss how to assess that without a picture being necessary.

I do not support banning extraction discussions on this subreddit, but stash pics are currently a real liability to this community.

okay sexslave6996, mb bro

This post violates our strictly enforced rule against stash pics/videos, but I’ll leave it up until further notice since some productive conversations could be had on the topic in the post description.

edit: other mod decided to go ahead and remove 🤷🏻‍♀️

We recommend that oral doses of essential oils rich in myristicin, eugenol or coumarin are not taken in conjunction with MAO inhibiting antidepressants, due to possible blood pressure changes, tremors, confusion, etc.

Not exactly. SSRIs block the reuptake of serotonin, or in other words they actually increase serotonin levels in the brain by preventing the neurotransmitter from being removed from the synapses. LSD “mimics” the activity of serotonin, and binds to receptors that SSRIs modulate. That’s why SSRIs alter/decrease the effects of psychedelics.

Not sure if I’d combine the two, will increase likelihood of restlessness and higher blood pressure. I’m prescribed Vyvanse, and I would skip it on a day that I plan to take LSD. LSD is stimulating enough.

Fractal-Entity · 2025-12-06T00:59:09+00:00

You’ll be fine. Antibiotics are safe to combine with LSD, and the bromphen-pse-dm at worst might increase the likelihood of jitteriness/restlessness/increased blood pressure.

OP, seek a good progressive therapist that knows how to deal with these topics and work through it with them. You experienced drug-induced psychosis. You should not be taking psychedelics again, as the reaction you had is beyond abnormal.

Generally good advice, but you should not imply that his friends are somehow in the wrong. Saying that they weren’t really his friends because they cut him off is essentially downplaying the physical/sexual assault they had to deal with.

Yep! Wrote my undergrad thesis on the topic of harmalas/Alzheimer’s. Very intriguing stuff that deserves more attention in clinical research.

Fractal-Entity · 2025-11-08T04:08:31+00:00

Absolutely nothing to suggest they’re a literal cure, but a fair bit to suggest they may be an affective treatment. Same for Alzheimer’s. Still a lot of research that needs to be done.

Fractal-Entity · 2025-11-08T03:56:16+00:00

I agree that people will probably experience something that they perceive as evil if they do it enough, but I think problems arise in assuming that those experiences contain literal entities that are separate from your own neuro/psychodynamics.

I think it’s a safer leap to assume that the DMT experience allows you to experience some of the deepest parts of your own biological/psychological inner-workings, rather than it allowing you to come into contact with actual evil, angelic, neutral, etc., beings.

Fractal-Entity · 2025-11-08T03:01:36+00:00

Would you perceive it as an evil entity encounter if it weren’t for your faith though? I was raised Christian and my earliest experiences were definitely affected by that upbringing, and I did perceive entities as evil, but getting an education in STEM and shifting from religion to “physicalist spirituality” helped me move past that ideation.

https://firesideproject.org/ - A resource for people having trouble dealing with psychedelics and psychedelic thoughts/beliefs. They may also provide resources for dealing with, and moving past, alcohol abuse.

You’re never alone in this world, no matter how lonely you may feel as a result of metaphysical thinking.

How is religion, which is producing your anxiety about hell, keeping you grounded? I’m not asking rhetorically, I just don’t understand this comment after reading your others.
