Firstly, dont read psychedelic books, that's insane.

What you should do is read what you want to read, than take a psychedelic.
To even search for psychedelic literature or any psychedelic art undermines a true psychedelic experience, as it is impossible to put such experiences on paper, and the experience varies by individual.

You don't need someone to hold your hand.

based. I was 80 iq, literal dirt eating imbecile, then my brother gave me 12 grams of shrooms, and I'm now about to finish my math PHD at mit.

I think my two brain halves were disconnected somehow, and that the shrooms reconnected them, because I don't have a disorder, and my family are all quite intelligent.
