Definitely going to be the first drug I try, when I decide to finally start using drugs.

Dude start off with something more mellow, or you're going to be extremely disappointed if/when you decide to try other drugs. Psychedelics are so intense that I don't even consider them to be drugs. They're something else entirely. A "god molecule", if you will.

I'd suggest starting off with Nitrous Oxide and/or weed first. Nitrous has psychedelic properties (but without the visuals), and cannabis can also be psychedelic when you have no tolerance. Also they last more in the minute range—not hours (especially nitrous)—so they'll wear off a lot quicker should you decide you don't like the feeling.

Trust me, I've tried every drug under the sun. I'm a daily or near-daily user of several substances; psychedelics like shrooms are the one substance that I avoid. Only for special occasions, once every few years at most. Not the very first thing I'd try. It would be the very last.

I appreciate the deep personal insights and advice. Well taken.

Okay great. Now this stranger on the Internet would recommend not listening to that stranger on the Internet.

Do not take nitros oxide. Not only is it dumb as fuck, it literally gives you nerve damage, among many other side effects that anyone could find with a short simple search.

Weed and mushrooms are two of the best drugs on the planet and have minimal long term negative effects. I love mushrooms and it's all about dosage- how many grams and how strong is it per gram. NO it will not ruin your perception of other drugs. Acid is way stronger I'd recommend avoiding unless you have a whole week to recover.

Just vape weed or better yet take edibles and some mushrooms you should have near 0 negative physiological effects. Why tf would you do laughing gas you'll damage yourself what is this a street party in 2005 god damn. Not to mention just makes you act like a damn fool
