I recommend starting with LSD, just take one tab of whatever dose it is that you get. Increase dose on future trips and see how it goes, then move onto stuff like shrooms and DMT. A simple comparison between them is as follows:
LSD: You go on a trip
Shrooms: You get taken on a trip
DMT: Your brain gets taken on a trip
So, here's something that needs clearing up right away, and it'll affect every aspect of the trip. Your experience depends on the type of person YOU are. I can tell you how the experiences have been for me, just as you've heard horror stories so have I. I've never had a bad trip, but that doesn't mean you won't.
A friend of mine and I tripped out, same environment, same activities, but he had a bad trip and I had a great one, why? Because we're different people. So let's try and clear this up first.
If you are a rational person, who is able to keep themselves and their emotions in check, psychedelics will be great for you. You know, I have problems, everyone does, depression, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, but when I go on a trip I'm happy, feel great, and enjoy myself. This is essentially 'cause I don't get in my own head.
My friend also has problems, similar ones, the kind of stuff you'd expect of the average Jow Forums user, depression, low-self esteem, khv, no degree, thinks he's got major fundamental problems that hold him back when really he doesn't, that sort of thing.
The difference between him and I is that I can keep myself in check, he can't. So when we tripped together he ended up just going off into his room after an hour, lying in bed and thinking/experiencing fuck knows what.
So yeah, I can't say how things WILL be, but I can tell you how things are for me, but first:
