If you could go back and change your decision, would you decide not to use LSD?


If I had to do all over again, I would take LSD again when I did. (I went on about 4 or 5 trips over the span of a month or two.) It caused a very desirable change in my outlook on life and for a time made me more open to new experiences. But it probably also caused me to do things that alienated my girlfriend of the time, causing that relationship to end. And if I had to perform somehow, e.g., find a new apartment or sue someone to protect my rights, in the months after the LSD, I might not have been able to perform adequately.

I was 32 when I dropped. That was over 15 years ago, and I have never seriously contemplated dropping again because I judge the temporary reduction in functionality not to be worth it because subsequent trips will probably not be as valuable or as transformative as the first trips were.
