The psychedelic mind state is a very suggestible and vulnerable one, to positive and negative influences and with the subconscious barrier bypassed, a traumatic experience could instil deep seated, long lasting negative effects on psychological well being, even causing changes in personality, given the dose and depth reached.
It just sounds like an all around ridiculously stupid idea, to intentionally have a bad trip.
It goes completely against the entire point of safety and preparation guidelines when using psychedelics, for any reason and especially for therapeutic purposes.

I can't believe this already hasn't been suggested. NO INTERNET. For 30 days. Fuck it. I'm going to start this today and I'll see if I can make it. The only exclusion is for research for class but other than that no exceptions. I will report back if I succeeded or not. This is gonna be a hell of a challenge for me at least.
And with my boredom I will likely be doing the other challenges.

The no internet idea is a bit... ambitious to say the least haha. I'd get so much reading done.

There's a couple subtleties regarding that one I need to get figured out.
I tried it today and realized I literally can't even do that and notice when I'm getting distracted/into thoughts until I was rolling over to fire my laptop back up.
I can tell this one might change me, or at least instill some patience. Not thinking though... that's a tough one.
