I try to keep my comments civil on here, but that's horrible fucking advice. The best thing you can do is try and relax and calm down, taking more of a drug you're having a bad experience with is the opposite of what anyone should do ever.

There is wisdom in it. Some drugs have a kind of scuzzy zone somewhere between a mild dose and next level dose. If you're taking a drug that perforce requires you to "let go", it may help take enough that you lose agency to resist.

Yeah, unfortunately the people in this thread do not have experience with this stuff and just reply based on their gut feeling.

That middle zone you describe where you are stuck between the two worlds are probably the worst.

Actually I have experience with lsd, mushrooms and some other hallucinogens. I've gotten really high on them. I've talked about it in my comments here before. I still believe it's bad advice especially for inexperienced users.

Fair enough, I do agree it's a dangerous game, I just don't agree that it's a completely stupid point.
