this is slowly going to start happening all around the world. once psychedelics become mainstream people will be too embarrassed to admit that they fell for all the government propaganda

>>11445852
A few months ago it wasn’t summer

>Doors of Perception
The first DUDE LMAO book of all time. If you want to parse your own experiences the Robert Anton Wilson meme is kinda good. If you are looking for accounts or want vicarious trips there really isn't that much good stuff beyond >>11445877

This too, lol. Even better for Deliriants.

you ever read books, ON WEED?

Read LSD by Otto Snow and prepare for the long strange trip (to jail).

>>11445985
What's your favorite brand of whiskey and cigarettes (to drink and smoke while reading)?

Disaranno and vaping for me

>>11446010
>vaping

oh boy

>>11445926
I have seen innumerable summers come and go. This is a new development.

>>11445918
But why is this suddenly the tipping point? I'm all for the decriminalization and destigmatization of psychedelics, but even when I first got interested in them about 10 years ago there was still a ton of info on the benefits of psychedelics, from both institutional and more DIY sources. Are a New Yorker article and an NPR slot really that persuasive?

>>11445918
The government is deep into it. It's the perfect war. Of course they'll wash their hands and seal the documents.

A Scanner Darkly, Island and Suttree all have fantastic hallucinatory descriptions of trips

Been down so long it looks like up to me and Flow my tears, the policeman said both feature mescaline pretty heavily

I've consistently enjoyed exactly half of every Castañeda book I've read. After it stops being about rituals, practices, and mindframes, and starts rambling about the mosquito guardian that's going to kill you if you don't respect him, I kinda lose interest.

>>11445877
I'm not looking for vicarious trips; I want to ponder my past experiences and plan my future ones.
Reading online gives you a sense of what's being read, but advice goes from 'take 100ug and go out with friends' to 'take 700ug and go meditate in the rain at night while naked lamo'. Books will at least let me absorb the info.

Thank you all that answer so far. Have any of you gained a deeper understanding of your trips through literature? I find that the sentiment that the door never really closes after being opened once is true, and am also interested in having quasi-trippy feelings from literary fiction. Books or passages that include them are also welcome.

>>11445852
>tfw you recommend 4 aco dmt every chance you get in /lit/ psych threads and have never been called out on it because plebs don't know what it is

>>11446737
Psychedelics confused me. Books enlightened me. Don't worry, you will grow out of them eventually.

shits basically just psilocin

not hating on it tho

>>11444183
This one is good. Science based, plus interviews with test subjects

>>11447632
and this one. it covers more than just psychedelics. lucid dreaming and such. A lot of research before LSD was banned.

>>11444183
4chan is pretty close to a trip for someone who isn't used to it. All tripping is apart from the visuals is the reduction of situational context to a period of several seconds or less.

You'll learn something from each trip, no matter what you do. As long as you follow advice designed to keep you safe you can be sure of a productive experience. Beyond that, it's up to you. Trip reports aren't there to give you a step-by-step guide through psychedelics, but to help connect your experiences to those of others.
