I threw away my psychedelics today

[Giancarlo]

I realized that I'm not at the right stage of life to be pursuing God.

I'm 26, with a well-paying job in a HCOL area. By any conventional metric my life is a success.

Psychedelics have been an incredible spiritual tool. But the more I take them, the more I realize I would have to give up my career, which I'm not prepared to do at this stage of life. So I'm following Leo's advice and postponing any further use until I'm at least 30. 

Hopefully this encourages the other youngsters out there to take it slow.

Good call, psychedelics do potential harm along with any perceived benefits.

Good call bro. There's always another time. 

[PsychedelicEagle]

Nice, that's the right mindset. You can still build your spiritual base with other means until the time comes.

Just curious, why is that?

In what ways specifically psychedelics interfere with your career?

I've had three profound trips in my life, and each of them made me realize I don't love my job, even though I worked so that I could try psychedelics.

The irony.
