Yes, hallucinogens can lead to some dark places, but generally I have found that part of setting the scene for a good trip is being in a state of mind where I'm not holding onto anything. Most of my bad trips and the ones I've witnessed have started out of some desire to control the situation or even worrying that the situation is out of control. Drugs aren't nutritive, but the old standbys are standbys because they're fairly predictable in their effects, within a certain range. Research chemicals can be fun, but often they're so exotic, it's hard to say what one is getting for certain. That said, a great place to find out what's new is MIT around Halloween. All those damn orgo majors and grad students . . .
