I hear what you’re saying Romeo. But the way psychedelic drugs influenced me definitely had its positives and negatives.

On the positives, I’m a much more of a "bigger picture" thinker these days. When I see conflict, current issues, issues in my life, I’m always thinking beyond just the issue at hand. Whenever a friend gets bogged down in some issue, I’m always reminding them of the bigger picture and beyond. Most conflict in the world is driven by very narrow views, so it can be quite frustrating.

Negatives – It most likely contributed to a psychosis, which no doubt led to me using heroin. And still today I look at some patterns in curtains, on fabric, or images on my computer screen and they shift and morph in that trippy way a little bit. This has been going on for years. Psychedelic drugs fried my maths brain. Psychosis fried my date / time brain and organisational skills. I still double book and triple book things regularly.

I think I just got into psychedelics a bit young. My friends and I had our first huge acid trip at early 16 while camping. This was trees turning into medusa heads type visuals. I remember clearly my hand turning into a shovel, and it started shovelling a dirt pile that was actually a mountain on the horizon into a barrow that was the mountain next to it. Very strong acid.
