>The first few lines from Maldoror:"God grant that the reader, emboldened and having become at present as fierce as what he is reading, find, without loss of bearings, his way, his wild and treacherous passage through the desolate swamps of these sombre, poison-soaked pages; for, unless he should bring to his reading a rigorous logic and a sustained mental effort at least as strong as his distrust, the lethal fumes of this book shall dissolve his soul as water does sugar."- Canto 1

Did Shrooms, Acid(a lot this one), tons of weed, adderall, lots of Benzos, failed an attempt at a DMT trip, Pure amphetamine, nicotine, caffeine,cbd, hydrocodone, and oxycodone. Psychedelic trips were fun but it seems essentially just recreationally unless you go into it noting the effects etc, etc, otherwise you'll forget most of what you learned in the next few days. By far the most euphoric drug are opiates(not a big surprise), albeit their not that interesting they are the best. Speed(pure amph not meth), is fun and helps me a lot although I don't use it much. Regardless it's not something that you should actively take.

Benzos are evil moving on. I really at most just smoke(marijuana) very rarely and have my few cups of coffee everyday. Absolutely despise alcohol as its a F class drug and practically worse than everything else I mentioned. I plan on doing experiments with LSD in the future but I'm still hesitant that I might cause some permanent damage.

I do admit that a few acid trips at one point in my life made me change my ways and turn my whole life around. I was actively using many drugs and failing all my classes and hanging out with a bad crowd just to do indulge in degeneracy for the excitement even though it was most definitely not my crowd, I'm glad it practically saved my life and made me find the artist within myself.


If i'm being honest, acid is what got me to start reading again with HST's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and from there its history.
