Not in my case, unfortunately. I had looked forward to trying it for years, but once I finally got my hands on some the effects it had on me were...rather divisive to say the least. While the warped perception and strange thoughts/visions that flashed through my mind were all somewhat novel for a time, the anxiety, paranoia, and overall panic that permeated the entire experience made it an absolute nightmare to get through. Not only that, but in the weeks/months afterwards of my first (& only) "trip" I suffered from intense, deeply unpleasant bouts of derealization, which the THC had triggered. At this point, I highly doubt I'll take any ever again. Can't say I was too surprised by the outcome, frankly. After all, nothing ever works for me. Story of my fucking life. Although, I've always found it hilarious how, from what I've read/heard anyway, most people out there don't even recommend that someone with "pre-existing mental health conditions" (like basic anxiety or depression, for instance) should even go near marijuana, or most other popular drugs for that matter. So, in other words, you should "ideally" only use them if you're already a well adjusted human being. To which I say, are you fucking serious? The people who could use these kinds of things the most shouldn't or, depending on their physiology, can't even use them, whereas some brainless partying moron who hasn't suffered an ounce of emotional/mental pain in their entire life and, consequently, needs them the least, is paradoxically perfectly suited to use them. If you're happy you should use them. If you're not, you shouldn't. So basically someone like me is irredeemably fucked in such an infuriating equation. Great. Superb. Wonderful. I swear to god man, this planet is a bad fucking joke and I'm always the punchline. Fuck you, Terrence McKenna. Fuck you, Bill Hicks. Fuck you, Hunter S. Thompshon. Take all your worthless drugs and shove them up your cold dead asses. Also, fuck you too Joe Rogan. Fucking meat headed prick that he is, singing the praises of drugs whenever he can (despite being completely oblivious/ignorant, to the profoundly negative effects they can have on others). Really never liked him either way, so whatever.
