> Personally, I've found small doses of LSD having better, longer lasting improvement and causing less side effects than antidepressants.

The first time you take an anti depressant your doctor will not recommend you a full dose. The first time you take a stimulant your doctor will not recommend you a full dose.

I know readers here sadly won't consult their doctor on LSD or marihuana. The first time you take LSD (or psilocybine mushroom, or marihuana), and the first time you take it within a long time, do not take a full dose.

Example: the first time I used psilocybine mushrooms I used 5 gram (out of a full dosage of 30 gram). I almost fell asleep due to it, in bath, and almost drowned, had it not been for the fact I put the tub only half full. I had no sitter either (that was my first stupidity - always get a sitter; a sober, mature person who watches over you and who preferably is an expert on the drug). (Legal disclaimer: I used this drug when it was still legal in my country. It no longer is. I don't recommend breaking the law.)

There are also much lighter drugs than either of these. Amanita muscaria (fly agaric), for example (the same still applies, small dosage first). However I don't recommend a random person to pluck this in the wild. You need to be trained in order to recognise them as there are deadly poisonous lookalikes luring.
