If it's bitter, it's a spitter.


> The precise circumstances in which I took the drug don’t matter.

Absolutely false. Set and setting are crucial.


The article makes this very point a few times.


It doesn't matter to the story, not that it doesn't matter in general.


Exactly.

> Suffice to say that I was far from home in an unfamiliar (and public) environment with people I didn’t know very well and had little reason to trust.

Stopped reading after this part -- Taking psychedelics in such circumstances is a horrible idea!


Well see, there is your problem, because the author says this in the immediate next sentence

> In other words, it was as unsuitable an environment for psychedelic experimentation as I could have designed [...]


> The results of a study published by the journal Human Cell "suggest, for the first time, that inhalant CBD can impede lung cancer growth by suppressing CD44 and angiogenesis."

You may need special permits to move scheduled substances across borders. ADHD meds can even be problematic between EU states.

It's a police state with an ongoing alcohol prohibition, tremendous amount of road blocks in the capital and night club bouncers having to have basic police training. Compared to Estonia where there's almost no cops visible, no no-go zones and very little crime - Sweden isn't doing that well.



> This article doesn't really explain _why_ eating earlier is supposedly better.

I feel like it's a personal preference and I only eat later in a day, but here[1] you may find some explanations on why eating in the morning may be better.
