“I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” — Maya Angelou
No being is perfect.
All are learning.
All are growing.
Most, if not all, are products of the environment they grow in – just as trees and flowers grow in & from the Earth, people are similar.
So, one of the answers is to create better environments for all, which is what is happening on this planet today & into the future…

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” — Mark Twain
If you decide to take a psychedelic drug, please carefully consider who you will be around during your experience.
Somehow your heart & intuition already know certain people to stay away from, & certain people you can be around during the cosmic intimacy of your psychedelic experience.
“I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.”
— Walt Whitman
The people you choose to trip with WILL have an impact on your experience.
It’s important to consider the people you choose to trip with.
I don’t have much to add to this.
Choose people you like to be with.
It’s as simple as that.
(Note-Just like any other drug, the effects vary from person to person.)
It’s important to prepare a safe, well-known environment, especially if you’re a beginning tripper.
The best trips of mine have been in environments I’ve known well, with people I was close to.
I’ve tripped in multiple environments — nature many times, parks, inside. I usually start indoors and then make my way outside.
So for starters it can be good to at least begin in a very safe, well-known place, with people you trust.
Which leads to the importance of the people in your tripping environment.
During my trips I can usually feel the vibes of other people — some trips I’ve experienced this more than others, — all sorts of vibes – good, bad, angry, overthinking, a whooollleeee range of vibes, from both people who were and weren’t tripping.
I think it’s important to know who you’re tripping with, but it’s on you, and I’ve tripped with people I didn’t know well before – I did feel uncomfortable for some of the time. I recommend tripping with cool people. You know who they are, and you know who they’re not.
