I concur with a lot of these posts and I would just like to toss in one thing. If you do decide to try psycs just remember that the first and most likely second time you do them will be so completely out of this world that you will likely forget about self exploration and become completely absorbed with the task of remembering that it will eventually come to an end and normalization will occur.
If you stop reminding yourself of this fact then you will likely not enjoy the experience and miss out on the revelations that occur after you have tripped a few times and know how to handle it better.
Personally I am glad that I have taken Mushrooms and I look forward to trying different chemicals later in life, however I do wish that I had waited a bit before trying them because if you just fuck off a lot and party instead of getting things accomplished it will throw that in your face pretty hard, its not so much a meaning of life experience, its like people said, it strips you of your ego and shows you yourself if that makes any sense at all.
Oh and I also wouldn't recommend a Phish concert as the location of your first trip because as fun as it sounds, hundreds of thousands of people are ReALLY overwhelming when you first have a psychedelic(sp?) experience.
Have fun.
