First off- I'm not preaching I smoked pot daily as available for 13 years , done lotsa shrooms, acid about 10x, coke 1x, and most of my freinds are fucked up one way or another do to their use. I have quit everything, tobacco was the hardest, and don't kid yourself about "experimenting". I would bet you're a kid (under 25) as far as use and time are concerned, that's too young to know how this really works. Your peers may be fine for now, but that's how insidious this shit is. I've seen people jump off roofs, bottom out , get arrested, fuck people they have no business with, get arrested, run, etc. You get the point. We all start off "experimenting". That's why it's called recreational use, man. In some places Russian Roulette is considered recreation!
If you want to play this way you really need to take a deep, quiet look at your inside condition and observe causes&conditions. Something is amiss! I know cause I've taken the long way around and paid with a large part of my humanity. And I was the lucky one with balance..The one people said "See it's not so bad-He's on the honor roll and using everyday!" Well sometimes you find out too fucking late that drugs sneak up on you. I've done well and still wish I hadn't gotten involved. You will have the same desire, only you will be older and more beat up when you bottom out and have to face it. This is from a functional addict! past tense luckily..
Anyway--That said: As long as you don't have any potential mental illness (ask family about genetic history, especially Schizophrenia), shrooms can be a great way to take a look at life with a new face on. go with psilocybe cubensis- your basic white stem golden-brown capped variety. They are the most common and most stable. Some other varieties can be up to 30x stronger. Had 4grams of those once and shit you not I thought I was dying and didn't care. Would've been a good way to go, but life is too short as is- don't rush it ok? Most importantly, go outside with friends and a cell phone safe from society and enjoy yourself. Drink lots of water after your tripping so you don't puke.( 1-2 hours in)
As for speed- no fun, addictive, and a heart attack waiting to happen. Your head will tingle- Big fuckin deal! Not worth it.
Ecstacy- really fun, expensive, but addictive. After the 1st time, you will never feel as good, so walk away, far away after 1 use. My raver friends who didn't are depressed and it's been years since they used. It taps your brain chemistry FOREVER.. a sharp sword- be careful!
K is shitty from the outside ( I dodged that bullet) but the same friends used it for some reason. Desperation I think..They sure as hell didn't appear to ever have any fun on it.
Coke suck people up and leaves holes on an MRI of your brain. No shit! I work in medicine and heard this from a guy who does MRI's for a living. First-hand friends have gone down on this one, and one has remained functional, but still craves it so bad he's debilitated once every few months. So you feel good for awhile..You will pay in the long run for this one.
Acid is not as good as shrooms in my opinion, and will give you an achy spine from overuse. Goes away though..See shrooms on the mental illness precautions.
Again- I was lucky and got out wounded..Most don't- I was like you and I know no-one can stop you. If your as independent as I was, you sure as hell better be as mentally stable and as willfull, Cause your gonna need it!!!
Good Luck Friend...
