Dropping acid is anything but frying your brain. It is a shortcut to higher states of awareness, insight into how the mind works and it has without a doubt made me a much wiser person. I don't even need the drugs to trip anymore, ever since my life has been a journey of self discovery. It has opened doors that cannot be closed and in my opinion it's totally for the best. I have grown leaps and bounds over the past couple months. To be honest, it has been a little overwhelming at times but I don't regret it in the slightest and I've been making really positive changes in my life (no longer abusing pot and alcohol, doing more yoga). And most importantly, I'm quite happy about it all.
What I find frustrating is that I mostly hang around a crowd that does not use psychedelic drugs, but they drink and smoke pot on a regular basis - for no purpose of personal growth or anything like that, mainly out of boredom. I am the smartest of all of them and I am very misunderstood. I keep hearing shit that I'm going to ruin my life with the stuff, I'm freaking them all out raving on about what I've come to understand so I've just stopped even trying to explain to them my reasons for using it. And I'm not abusing it or anything like that. I'm being very careful and keeping a close eye on how my mind is functioning. In my opinion it's their constant usage of marijuana and alcohol while sitting on a couch watching tv out of boredom that should be termed "frying".
It really seems like the general population is frightened of LSD. Which is probably for the best because the people who are frightened of it are those who shouldn't be using it in the first place. LSD seems to find those who are ready for it when the time is right.
