Pro tip you put anything into your body that changes your mind, send yourself dosage and time. You’ll have a perfect record of everything you’ve ever taken, and if you do end up in medical emergency you can access it on anyone’s phone to give to your doc

I do this with molecules I put in my body that don’t change my mind too, but I’m really careful. The chance you end up in a state where you can’t recall is probably lower, so I wouldn’t stress over it

I think “risk tolerance” with this stuff is largely a false dichotomy. Good safety protocols go incredibly far in allowing a lot of experimention without much risk. Shulgin threw totally unknown molecules into his body for 50 years and was healthy and happy as a clam

Eg it’s quite common to read a paper about a drug you might associate with being physiologically or psychology dangerous where like all 200 people they tested on all had a fantastic time! If half your friends have bad times, it’s because they’re being unsafe with no upside

apparently I am not as hardcore as some of you
