lol yeah the isolation on that island will change you forever lol. I have to say my experiences have only gotten better with every blast off. I actually had no experience with any other psychedelics. I had researched this for almost 6 months... maybe longer before taking the dive. Always scared of the duration of other substances, the short experience and lack of the ability to run around and do something stupid gave a comfortable attitude towards it. I had been in a sort of soul seeking period in my life and suffering from a bit of anxiety issues and depression. Through my research I had read many accounts of its healing properties, although most of them were geared more towards the ayahuasca route, that then interfered with the terror of a long journey. Unfortunately I have never met any other beings. there is no doubt of having a breakthrough experience, but I have never been encountered by anyone/thing. But the spice only shows you what it wants to, so maybe I'm not ready yet mentally. I have been away for some time now but I plan to be more active in the community. Looking forward to sharing and learning with everyone here.
