Yeah I've had a mixed history with psychedelics. Imitation LSD(probably DOx on blotter) left me with panic attacks and HPPD around 16 years old. Later on I had great experiences with LSD, psilocybin and mescaline over a couple decades. Recently, a strong mushroom trip left me with months of spasmodic torticollis(violet head jerks to the side), migraines where I would lose half my vision, and seriously diminished my cognitive abilities.

I don't think psychedelics should be illegal, but I don't think we should be encouraging folks to do them until we understand them more completely.
