Answer 1

Drugs are bad m'kay?

Answer 2

It won't destroy your ego, but it can cause brain damage and/or make you do stupid, maybe harmful things.  If you lost your ego, you would be insane, not just without a personality.

Answer 3

Oh, for god's sake.

Don't chow down on herbs unless you have a doctor's supervision.  A REAL doctor.

"It is likely to be a spiritually educational experience regardless. Even a temporary glimpse beyond the ego will teach one a critical lesson."

LSD will do the same thing, but LSD has been proven in many a scientific study to be harmless.  The same cannot be said of herbs.  LSD is probably also cheaper.

"it doesn't damage your brain in fact, there are NO known health risks. thats why its legal in most of the states"

Boy, you have a LOT to learn about drug regulation laws and why supplements are "supplements."

Answer 4

Well saliva dripping down your chin can be a little embarrassing.

Answer 5

From what I've read about it, it seems relatively harmless.  I'd be interested in trying it.  Then again, I'm also (formerly) an experienced tripper.  I wonder what a normal dosage would be?  I used to drop 3-5 tabs/drops of LSD or eat 1/8 -1/4 oz. of mushrooms per 1 day fry session.  But then again, I was always told I took too much.  My friends didn't like to lose control of their mind when we all fried together.  I prefered the total loss of reality (or as I call it, the "cartoon fry") when I'd party.

Answer 6

Yes, it can temporarily obliterate the ego.  Emphasis on temporarily.  I know of no cases where the obliteration was permanent.

It is likely to be a spiritually educational experience regardless. Even a temporary glimpse beyond the ego will teach one a critical lesson.

Answer 7

no, but in time it might HELP you grow out of being a totally ego-driven person, and that's a good thing  ... probably would improve your personality ... maybe make you less selfish.
