Hi,
I have a family history of both psychosis and schizophrenia as a result of cannabis use. I'm fairly experienced with a variety of psychedelics and stimulants, but always very careful (to the point of being obsessive) with dosage/setting etc.
A month or so ago I had my first bad acid trip. It was a bit scary but the next day everything was fine, it was just a bad experience. However, the other night I had a similar experience after smoking some cannabis and felt just as freaked out as I did with the bad experience on LSD, maybe even more so. This was a surprise to me because I had never had thought such a thing would happen just as a result of smoking, it has also never happened to any of my friends.
The other issue is, it has taken me about two days to feel back to normal, for a while after I was definitely paranoid (mainly that I had developed some severe psychological issue) and had some difficulty focusing. While I am fine now I have decided marijuana is no longer for me- at least for a long while.
After this extensive background... the question I am asking is- is it likely I will have similar experiences on LSD? Perhaps I should make a similar decision and resist temptation there also. Being a far more powerful substance, I do not wish to have any sort of psychological trauma and I fear that perhaps I have experienced a warning.
Or... is this completely unrelated? Is infrequent and safe dosing a relatively safe thing to do? As I have matured these things are no longer worth the risk to me as when I was young, and if there is a chance something will go wrong I have the will power to say no.
After some other research I am already assuming I should steer clear, but I'm never one to use yahoo answers as my only source of decisions.
Cheers guys,
Peace.
