by which I mean, there are more effects out there than you can get from traditional psychedelics. By a lot. I don't know about these new chemicals , as I have sworn off taking untested drugs long ago now (well, sort of long ago), but the old school research chemicals are not really trying to replace traditional psychedelics. They are adding to the list of psychedelic experiences. If you want to limit yourself to the traditional psychedelics, more power to you I guess. But it is naive to say that only the traditional psychedelics are any good. They do tend to be some of the best (LSD IS the best), and they are pretty much all the safest, but they simply do not cover the same range of effects and time durations as the research chemicals do. None of the traditional psychedelics give cartooning or tracers like 2c-b does, for one out of thousands of examples. None of the traditional psychedelics give the same auditory distortions as DIPT or 5-meo-DIPT. There is a full world of psychedelics out there and saying they are all LSD knock offs for stupid kids who can't get LSD is just stupid.
