Limitations of Continuously Taking Heroic Doses of Psychedelics

Continuously taking heroic doses of psychedelics like silasaben can lead to the depletion of specific brain proteins that induce the high, making it impossible to feel the effects until new proteins regenerate. Thus, taking the same dose consecutively results in the loss of psychedelic effects, leading to a cessation of the chasing sensation. To avoid this, it is essential to refrain from using psychedelics for a period to allow the regeneration of proteins. Animal studies have shown that psychedelics like shrooms are not addictive. Furthermore, some individuals experience hallucinogen-persisting perception disorder, where they may encounter flashback effects such as moving walls or buzzing in the ears post the high phase without a known scientific cause.
