I did some LSD about 35 years ago. More than once.

For a few days afterward it utterly knackered my ability to write good code, or do anything that required concentrated, logical thinking. Also, I felt like crap (think "bad mental hangover" without the horrible side-effects caused by alcohol).

That said, it was a pretty interesting experience. I highly recommend it, just not habitually. Someone (Timothy Leary?) said that the best way to do LSD would be in a sunny English meadow with the Archbishop of Canterbury as your companion.

I know some people who take LSD habitually and I can't imagine how they do it. Personally I'm like you, it feels amazing and is a great way to relax, but I need about a day or two afterward to really let the whole experience settle in.

"Do it in the right place, with the right people"

That said, it is pretty tiring...

In what form was it? If it was a pill or liquid, it could have been cut.

A pill? I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

Some of the largest manufacturers of LSD made it in pills.

Well TIL, I actually never knew that. I've always thought it was only made liquid.

The Archbishop of Canterbury??? No thanks, I'll take Maya Angelou. (Whoops -- she's dead. Oh well -- you get what I'm trying to say here :-)
