I will never make that assertion. I know that there are other ways to  
get to that "place."

Guess it all depends on how much you enjoy the superb production  
values of LSD. It's kinda like olives, you gotta develop a taste for  
it . . .

It is highly probably that you have entered psychedelic states without  
it. Wouldn't doubt it for a moment.

In a way it's the distractions that set "the experience" apart and a  
lot of those differences—a certain constant buzzy quality [probably  
speed] or some other downgrading of the "production values" depending  
on mental state and purity—leaves one with risdiual doubts about the  
experience. On the other hand, the equation works in both directions.  
Greater purity is easy to notice. Still, no matter what, the stuff  
packs a punch and can derail you.

You can warp the apparatus with solder fumes.
