> I've done XTC oh, probably 10 times and experienced some of the most sublime blissful Universal states of compassion before or since. It may well have wrought damage to my neuro terminals, however, I can't imagine going my life through without having had that glimpse of something so transcendent.

BarbaraCat,
I have not done x but I feel the same way about experiences with hallucinogens from my younger days. Will probably never do them again, but wouldn't trade it for anything. I even think that having such experiences helped me accept my psych diagnosis by giving me an appreciation for how dramatically chemicals can affect my brain.

I think there's a real division in perspective between folks who've experienced powerful psychotropics or "mental illness" states and those who haven't. The ones who haven't can still have the illusion of being in control of their minds. The rest of us, for better or worse, have had to give up that illusion.
