Before moving into the practical territory of preparing for the use of a mind-expanding substance it would be worthwhile to consider what these substances do. I believe that they do just about anything.

Psychedelics can reframe your concept of reality. They can do this to a greater or lesser extent. They can challenge or disable you, or they can do nothing at all. Their potential is largely determined by what you allow yourself to experience, and what novelty you can manage to build into your understanding of the world...

Psychedelics are the parachute jump master that shouts you out the airplane\\u2019s door to the open sky. It\\u2019s your job to have your parachute packed and to take it from there. What they can do, then, is to show you a larger and older world. This can be a rite of passage or a waste of time.

\\u201cThere are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.\\u201d\\u2015 Aldous Huxley
