I did the usual undergrad experimentation. It was interesting for the experience, but I have no desire to relive it. What I retain the most about the episodes was the appreciation I had for the clarity of sobriety after the trips were over. I prefer to be in control of my mind as much as possible.
A wee anecdote: One of my sisters is a psychologist. We shared a flat while she was in grad school. One Friday night, she asked me to stay home with her and a friend to watch out for them while they were on acid. I rented a couple of videos and settled in while they did their thing.
Watching other people on drugs has to be one of the most boring things in the world. I finally went to bed after they spent a couple of hours examining a large piece of lint. I didn't think they could get into any trouble handing it back and forth to each other.
