Nothing wrong with going on a vision quest if that's what you're into.  8)

There are definitely some problems that I think LSD could help with, but it can take a lot of time and energy to go through all of that. It is also risky to do once you're all set up on your way.

I was born and raised on psychedelic music but I decided when I was 16 to wait until I was 26 to try it out, as I figured I'd be old, boring and set in my ways by that time.

When I turned 26 two year ago, after successfully completing my master thesis on perception and consciousness, the famous drug showed up on my doorstep.

It really had a profound impact on me and in the last couple of years it has slowly lifted me out of a deep depression I hardly even realized I was in.

Only now in 2015 a couple of years later am I beginning to integrate the new-found insight, motivation and personal power into my life.

By the way, this is pretty much the only video I have seen that elucidates with up to date neuroscience how psychedelics work.

Figure of speech - got it through a friend actually. Spent most of it on micro doses, did a lot of great trading on it as well - late night 2013 trollboxing (http://trollboxarchive.com/id/18670450) :D Normally I am so ridiculously dishonest with myself, pinch of LSD I see through all my BS lies and trade rationally.

I've thought about this. In the end would it be better or worse for us, if we approached darkmarkets to use bitAssets?

Worse.  IMHO.  That being said, LSD and other sacred medicines are indispensable allys in this life, and the war on drugs is an atrocious sham.  That also bring said.  Let's not provide undue invitations to the jackals who feast upon fear and sensation, by fixing them any such tasty bites.
