I can understand that
but overcoming that fear and stepping into the unknown - or technicolour hyperspace coupled with ego death in the case of DMT - has done me a lot of good as a person, I believe.

'Body' drugs such as cocaine have been my downfall, and they're the most 'in control' substances out there.

Psychedelics freak me right the fuck out
Ever since my first (and last) trip at Reading festival, 1997

They're fucking freaky. They should freak you out.
A lack of respect for (or ignorance of the potency of) psychedelics can fuck anyone right up. I used to love taking them at festivals but only after I'd already had 20+ trips in an un-scary rural environment first.

Ah, yes, well, you see, I was fucking stupid
Never done a class A, 18 years of age, having a shit first outdoor festival, there with my ex and best mate who'd decided to cop off with each other that weekend in the adjoining tent.

I readily accepted the offer of "something to cheer you up".

It did not work.

Oh, terrible environment. No wonder.
Timothey Leary's advice on 'set and setting' is most sage.
