In Canada back in the day cops would come into the classroom. They had big boards with all the drugs attached. More than a few times, they disappeared off the board.
I remember a constable coming to class with one of these and commenting that I had excellent veins should I ever do IV drugs. They 100% set us up to fail.

One of my sociology professors was involved in a project to assess the effectiveness of DARE. She found that it was slightly effective with one group -- 8th grade boys.
Of course, her findings didn't fit the 80s narrative, so her study was shelved and the LAPD was happy.

My dad would change the wording of Dare Tshirts with tipp-ex so that "dare to say no to drugs" would instead say "dare to say hi to roger" (in swedish)

"Studies published in the 1990s concluded that D.A.R.E. had little to no effectiveness in preventing drug use in elementary, middle, or high school students, and may actually lead to increased drug use."

One of my buddies loves to wear his D.A.R.E. sweatshirt when he smokes.
Does he say no to his weed and then smoke it?

til chitin isn't just a bug thing, and i am disturbed. somehow eating mushrooms is now akin to eating bugs at this moment.
Look up stuff like lemontek. If you use a sugar base, psilocybin is sugar soluble. Should cut out the nasty feelings and be just slightly more potent. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a DARE shirt that says 'Drugs Are Really Expensive' underneath and i feel like thats a more effective deterrent than anything they said in the program.

Are you sure you're not a scatterbrain from undiagnosed ADHD that you've been self-medicating with the weed?
regardless, that would not do anything for other people experiencing the general case

Psychonaut with a couple of decades experience here: Acid can be excellent fun. For many years it was my favourite intoxicant. It definitely has a dark side to it tho.
If you are taking acid for the first time then you should do it with good friends and ideally have either a tripsitter (a sober friend who can help if things start to get a bit overwhelming) or someone who has taken it a few times before.
Do it in a safe space where you feel comfortable and is available for your use for the duration of the trip.
Be prepared for the long haul. A typical acid trip lasts around 8 hours and once you've dropped, there's no going back.
Have a playlist of music that makes you happy, and have your favourite feel-good movie on hand.
If you are feeling anxious or depressed DO NOT DO IT. Acid does not make you feel good like ecstasy or mdma or 2cb. If you are feeling shit it will make you feel 10x worse but if you are in a good place, with good friends, then it is amazing.
Thank you for listening to my head talk.
That's honestly one of the reasons I decided I probably don't want to try it. I'm genuinely a nice person but I lean hard into negativity and I am classified as a pessimist. It's one of the reasons why I'm pretty much the most prepared person in my friend group but it's also the reason why I don't want to take anything like acid because if I already think anything can go bad give me a reason to start like going into things that have no logical basis and I will probably end up in a bad place.

That's fair enough dude. It's strong stuff and it's hard to break out if you're having a bad one. Last time I did it was just after COVID, I was not in the right head space, and it really sent me sideways in a way that it never had before. So now I steer clear. I'd still recommend shrooms tho. They are a much friendlier psychedelic experience.
