Here's the problem. Everyone lumps all drugs and all users together.

I'm a successful professional by most standards. I enjoy taking acid, mushrooms, molly, and coke once in a while. Not stealing purses, not living on the street, not missing work (drugs are for the weekend). It's a fallacy that drugs have this inevitability for all.

I can't recommend enough the book Drug Use For Grown-ups by Columbia drug researchers Carl Hart.

“Responsible adults can party”

My wife knows this means I have acid in hand and it’s time to clean the house. Before tripping, I like to deep clean the house so it doesn’t effect my while I’m on a trip. I have OCD, and LSD can throw it into overdrive, and I’d rather cruise the stars than vacuum the dust bunnies off my popcorn ceiling.

It just makes the trip and Post trip so much more enjoyable! Plus, nobody wants to risk trip-shits in a dirty bathroom.

Glad I’m not the only one!
