Review for Multidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 3 stars  

It was just another cannabis filled night full of laughter with my friends when insomnia started to set in. Since my start of lsd, my mood [swings] were in the highest of highs. The only way to describe my ongoing euphoria is as either an awakened super ego or nirvana brought on by ego death. Here's the kicker. I only "tripped" acid 5 times total. I had all the fun I needed with MDMA alone at the techno houses. Sometimes I would just smoke weed while all my friends tripped, and we all still had great times. But somehow, I was the one that had the nervous breakdown during a bad trip. My brain chemistry must've been doing something. It brought out that I have Manic Bi-Polar disorder on top of a "polysubstance abuse dependence." But I'm only addicted to weed and cigarettes. And am never depressed, but now have to take 300mgs of Lithium every day.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

in spiritual ways. I've never felt more motivated to try to become famous.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Have a help yourself button, or Biolife credit card?

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The creative writing potential

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Only me so far.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Afford to send me back to school.

Ways to make it better...

I wasn't high on marijuana :)

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Shorthanded staff?

One thing I'd also say is that...

I love to play music and video games.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

One time
