Hey Flux,
Thanks for your input here, you make some great points. And yes I think the individualised, slowly measured cautious approach is the name of the game here. You make a very good point about sub-breakthrough doses...I know of another member of the 5-Hive team who thinks this is highly valid territory worthy of exploration...and the gradual, incremental approach sounds like an excellent way to proceed with working with 5-MeO. I recall some research on psilocybin conducted at Johns Hopkins, the research team there led by Prof. Roland Griffiths noted that study participants who had experienced a small dose of psilocybin prior to the high dose were prone to noticeable less anxiety states during the high dose experiences in comparison to participants that did not receive this smaller dose prior. But yes, given the wide variation in idiosyncratic reactions and the great potency and power of this substance, this seems like a sound approach to take.
Great advice too regarding avoiding talking and remaining still after the experience to aid with integration, I have a feeling this is some really sound advice, and I will be sure to keep this in mind for my next experience.
Thanks for chiming in here, I will amend these guidelines accordingly.
