In my early twenties, I frequently immersed myself in the vibrant world of psychedelics, particularly LSD (Acid), during my exhilarating trips to Amsterdam. Those journeys remain etched in my memory, vivid and intoxicating. I vividly recall the kaleidoscope of colours that danced before my eyes, the way ordinary objects morphed and flowed into surreal forms, and music that transformed into a fluid, almost tangible entity, enveloping me in its embrace.

So, I found myself venturing into an experience that can only be described as surreal, I smoked the potent secret of the Mexican toad, Bufo Alvarius. Going into it, I had only the faintest understanding of what lay ahead, and honestly, that ignorance was a blessing. No preparation, no amount of research, could have braced me for what turned out to be the most transformative experience of my entire life.

Our brains aren't just thinking machines as they're also sneaky little filters that hold us back from fully experiencing reality. But fear not, for the wise Aldous Huxley suggests that psychedelics can flip the switch on these filters, inviting us to behold a higher reality. And guess what? Science has our back on this one too! Studies reveal that psychedelics and meditation can both whisk us away into the same state of mind, where our brains feel like a perfectly synchronised orchestra.
