How much is too much?

Hey guys,

I've recently gotten involved with drugs (just Ecstasy, LSD, and Shrooms) and they are phenomenal :D

In regards to LSD and Shrooms, I've read up on the dangers online and it seems like, at least physiologically speaking, there are none. Am I right on this? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Furthermore, I am kind of in that honeymoon stage with these drugs, and was wondering what is a good frequency to take them. I feel like doing shrooms once or twice a month, and acid once or twice a month would be chill. Thoughts?
 
Disregarding ecstasy, hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) is a possible concern. Ecstasy has more long term depression and mental effects associated with it and has more danger in an acute OD.
 
While LSD and Shrooms may not seem to have adverse physical effects, it's my opinion that the possible psychological effects are much worse than the physical effects of other drugs. We've all met/know those people who just trip too much and too hard and begin knocking some screws loose and they're just not quite the same anymore
 
Frequency of use depends on you. Shrooms 2/month and acid 2/month would be just about every week, which is pretty often. It your intention is to learn from these experiences then it is help to have sufficient time in between to integrate the trip and to begin applying whatever new perspective you have gained from it.

Pretty unlikely tho. What is the occurence of this? One person in a thousand? One in a hundred thousand?

I've never met anyone like this. John Lennon said he'd never met anyone who ever had any problems either. There's a lot of urban myths like "I know this bloke who takes acid and thinks he's a glass of orange juice" or "See that guy there dude, he took LSD too many times and now he's mad" but I'd say 99% of those stories are complete frogshit.

Tripping once a week for several months won't cause any problems for 99% of the human population. It will increase your tolerance tho and you may not think the trips are quite as special as if you spaced them out more. On the other hand I've had some of the best trips of my life by tripping every week so your mileage may vary.
 
I think its more of that people that are already a little off their rockers can convince themselves of things that they wouldn't be able to without the help of psychedelics.

QFT

When I had really bad delusional ideas about relationships and stuff stemming from lots of emotional abuse, tripping exacerbated them A LOT. But in the end it was a good thing, because otherwise I wouldn't have recognized them as bad in the first place.

According to wikipedia it hasn't really been formally studied. It is also difficult to determine if it is new hallucinogenic input resulting from tripping or just a more acute awareness of normal deviations in your vision and other senses.

Regardless here is the megathread on HPPD and it appears that many people feel they still have lingering visual effects.

I feel like I'm mentally mature and stable enough for the trips. Didn't think about tolerance though. Do shrooms and acid have a cross tolerance? Ei. if your tolerance to shrooms builds will your tolerance to acid also build?
