    I think it varies by class of drugs. I’ve used opiates and benzos before and enjoyed myself without feeling like is really care to try it again, but I definitely flirted with disaster/addiction with simulants for a decade plus and alcohol for my entire adult life.

    And it didn’t take long; the first time I tried any stimulant I chased it, and I’ve tried a lot of them.

    Psychedelics, on the other hand, I love but in must people there is little too no danger for addiction. I’d go so far as to say that unless you have a family or personal history of schizophrenia, psychedelics are almost a must for understanding or coming to peace with life, death, and society.

    A good psychedelic trip is literally life-changing, and even a bad trip is life-changing if you go into it with a decent trip sitter and the attitude that a bad trip is still just showing you yourself and the things you need to work on.
