Irresponsible advice.

Learn about them, and experiment with them if you want to, and research what the hell it is you're getting into before you do it.

Psychedelics are not magic, they're drugs.

Do all the research about psychedelics you can first, though. Trips are always easier to handle if you know what's happening!

On this, Alan Watts offers some sage advice: "If you get the message, hang up the phone."

But be careful, know what you're taking and do your research. Psychedelics are very powerful drugs. If you use them correctly you'll have a good experience overall but in the same light things can and do go wrong

But first start with something less harmful but which could have similar effects. e.g.

Rather, if you think you can handle the psychedelics, do the classical psychedelics.
