Perhaps it may be a good idea to check one's motivation first.
After all, these techniques play around with pretty deep levels of psychology.
LD can be used for overcoming psychological barriers and neuroses. But be aware, once you wake up the sceletons in your closet, you'd better deal with them.
Taking drugs while experimenting with LD means opening two doors at a time. Too much draught in mind may not always be a good idea.
Psychologically instable persons (beyond being the odd average neurotic): Fingers off LD. Better get a grip on the awake state first.
Those that do work with this method should perhaps first focus on a positive motivation like learning this technique in order to help others, becoming more useful in society or something like that. May be helpful.
And yes, you can adress your problems, barriers and neuroses pretty directly by LD.
It can really change your life. Either way actually.
But if you are only in it for the funny stories or pics, you may as watch Hollywood movies while smoking funny cigarettes.
