Ok, had you asked me as a teen, I would have said "Not my path". At the time, I needed to find the divine on my own, and no amount of outside help would get me where my journey needed to take me, substance use included. But if you ask me now.... I'm not ready just yet, but am close enough to start looking for more information, inducing possible side affects and how to scout a responsible guide. It's a big step for me, so a great deal of care and personal research above and beyond this forum will take place before I do it. But words of wisdom from those who have gone before me seem just as important as scientific data on herbs that have been used in this way. After all, If humans were meant to only use science or only use faith, we would not come with the ability to understand both concepts, so I would go against nature to try to live isolated from either.
Erowid is probably the best, most comprehensive source of information. Also see the psychedelics section of this forum. Googling specific interests should be productive.
