Reply to comment by blacklegiondisciple in How Safe Is Ayahuasca? Large-Scale Study of Over 10,000 People Explores by molrose96

I'd like to think that most people that have this experience were unhappy with their life in the first place. They just weren't honest with themselves before.

Anecdote: I'm largely happy with how my life is going and consider myself to be a good person. I have absolutely zero life-altering revelations on LSD, it just makes me jittery and happy.

yeah exactly. I like to think I'm an aware and introspective person when sober. So heavy doses of psychedelics haven't lead to bad trips
Worst thing is getting high and realizing you don't actually like a few friends haha

Yep, that's LSD for ya, but have you tried shrooms? Now that's something that always puts the pedal to the metal for me when it comes to personal revelations.

We’re you looking for life-altering revelations or to just enjoy the trip with friends?

I’m generally pretty content with life, but, while maybe not truly life altering, I’ve had a number of fairly profound revelations (which is quite difficult to explain to folks that haven’t had similar experiences). Not so much if done in a group, but I quite like leaving my group for 20 or so minutes to just let my mind wander then come back to recenter.

It should still be their responsibility to find this out, not a side effect of a drug.
