I run a float center in the Pacific Northwest with some friends of mine, and it's truly a great experience. If you can use the tank properly, I'd say it's better, dollar-for-dollar, than any drug. Using it in conjunction with drugs is certainly interesting though. A lot of people are into building their own tanks and such, but my advice is to go try one out before buying or making your own. It does take a while to learn how to exist inside the tank without bringing all of your external expectation of stimuli. My first time in the tank, there was a process where my psyche was basically telling me to let go and stop trying to control the process. When I finally was able to do that, let go completely, that's where the real adventure started.
I see a lot of people who expect it to be like acid or mushrooms (a la Joe Rogan). The truth is the experience inside the tank is a lot more mundane, but the calming effect lasts for a long while after you get out. It's basically the same thing as deep meditation without having to spend years training your body to ignore the outside world. Anyway, I'm interested, has anyone from this thread tried out a tank since it started?
