Hi James,
Your post caught my interest. I too have had a 'bad' experience on hallucinogenics (Maybe that's why I had to refer to the top of the page to spell it right finally :) when I was younger. Fortunately, it was not quite as bad as all that. There have been other times when I have had absolutely pleasant experiences with them. (I mean, uh, my friend told me that he had, uh, a long time ago :)
For general reference, I have noticed that if I (I mean, if my friend did) try and smoke some pot, it usually (not always) triggers a really really bad CH later on. Now, that could be the particular kind it is or chemicals sprayed on it or even the fertilizers used in growing it or whatever or it could be just stupid coincidence...
However, I must say that I would be pretty scared to take LSD or something like that in order to try and cure a CH attack. Jesus. I can't hardly deal with them now. I guess (and I have read/heard) it is all in the attitude/perception though. Preconceptions is more like it. Perhaps it could be a good thing for somebody. Not me though, I think. Thanks anyway!
