What happens when a non-spiritual person takes DMT or LSD?

That's a really good question. In my experience, you know it's the drugs that are in control and it opens you up to the idea that our brains are capable of much more than we recognize in a non-induced state. I'm not religious or spiritual and hallucinogens didn't impact that at all.

I do think if you're looking for some type of spiritual encounter then you'll have it. It definitely lends itself to that. When trees start breathing it's a pretty easy jump to that. But if you go in to it as if you were just taking a ride, you'll be able to distinguish between reality and drug-induced reality.

Either way, you want to have your head on straight before you step off. It can be scary for some and that will build on itself. But if you're open to it, do it in a safe, stress-free place, it can be a very positive experience.

And personally, if you're interested and haven't done it, I'd suggest mushrooms first. I think that's the best introduction to hallucinogens.

@Ynotisay Great advice. :)

@Thodsis Thanks man. I'll assume we approach it the same way. :) Not everyone does. This whole thing with retreats and guides is something I just can't wrap my head around.

@Ynotisay The 'retreats and guides' experience is something that can be sold to others.

White clothing and flowered head bands make good internet pictures.

Drained faces at 5 am outside a 24 hour garage don't make such good pictures...
