Hi /lsdmthc.

Sorry no one responded to you in chat earlier.  I was about to but you quit :/  (I have a two year old that pulls me away and was on the phone so didn't get on it as quick as I wanted too).

As to your question...

If you're talking about mental or physical trouble have a trip sitter.  Especially with any substance you haven't taken before or any high doses of anything (big doses of LSD or Mushrooms for instance).  Also make sure to do extensive research on any new substance before you personally take it.  Not everyone reacts to things the same way and even if you have a friend telling you it's the most amazing thing ever you could react differently to it.  This goes double for RCs.

It sounds like you've talked things over with your Mom which is good.  For legal trouble there's not much you can do.  If you do run into legal trouble, remember, nothing you say to a cop can help you.  Get a lawyer before you say anything.   There's a great legal thread you can check out.

Also check out the FAQ and wiki if you haven't yet.  Lots of good stuff on set and setting, integration, etc.
