Modern humans must learn how to relate to psychoactives
responsibly, treating them with respect and awareness,
working to minimize harms and maximize benefits, and
integrating use into a healthy, enjoyable, and productive life.

I take this medication because of nerve damage. I decided to read more about it and learned if one takes 9g it can be an overdose. I've made it up to 15g and it's really calming and makes the world beautiful. This is my personal experience, as I have read that some people find it uncomfortable. I do occasionally smoke some marijuana with it but nothing else.

It comes on slow at first and then hits pretty hard. Walking around can be difficult as it makes me dizzy and breathing can become labored as if someone is sitting on my chest, but not in an uncomfortable way. I lay back and just relax and listen to some music. Watching a movie is very enjoyable as I am very into it and sometimes feel as if I am in it.

The come down is just the peacefullness slowing away and begin to feel normal.

It is like nothing else and difficult to explain sometimes. I have slowly made it to 15g over months and only use it 2 times a month. A very interesting medicine for sure.
