Hah, I have the same shit. What’s the safeguards you recommend? I found that some frequently given tips do not work well for me, especially the recommendation to have a trip sitter/not to trip alone. I have some trust issues, and other people in the room make me anxious. Honestly I even avoid mirrors because the visual delay can make smiles look demonic. But a familiar and clean environment, plenty of water and fruit, good smells, chill music and a big bottle of seroquel (to always have the option to kill the trip when it’s too much) are very important for me to feel well prepared.
I could spend a while typing a bunch, however a better resource I could recommend is The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide, by James Fadiman. He was involved in legal LSD therapies right before all studies were told to abruptly end with little to no warning. I figured he would be a great resource on the subject.
Another resource is a pamphlet, which was sent to various psychologists in the '50s. You’d be able to find this on Erowid.org (sorry I’m away from my computer and it’s rather late or I would directly link it, it shouldn’t be difficult to find though).
