Has anybody been exposed to friends doing psychedelics/heavy psychedelic culture, for many years, without doing psychedelics - but then eventually did try it?
How did that go? Was the trip what you thought it would be? Why did you change your mind after so long?

I was going to do psilocybin recently with some of my friends who are users of it. But I opted out as soon as my neurosis convinced me that I might get permanent damage in my brain.

Yes, it wasn’t what I thought it would be no cause my friends would do hero doses lol

Did 'em myself multiple times, but don't remember knowing anyone that hung with us that didn't. And don't know anyone now that's not done them, either. I am old, though...

I hope to be this person, though it may depend on how much exposure is necessary for it to count

I was curious but avoided it for years, terrified that I would lose or break a part of myself forever. I didn't want to change the inner voice that was "me".
Curiosity won out in the end. My first trip was one of the most beautiful days of my life.

Through high school and college, my friends regularly tripped on shrooms and LSD (even a sprinkle of DMT here and there for good measure).
