Has anybody done this? I’m super interested in it and have done a bunch of research looking into it. The only hesitation I have is being alone with my brain for 60-90 minutes (and a bit of claustrophobia.) But I’ve heard that it’s a really cool experience.

I’d do it if I had more money to dispose of. I’m sure there’s benefits. I’m also sure I’d freak myself out.

With or without the hallucinogenic drugs? o_O

From the little bit that I've seen, most people say it feel like minutes go by, not 1.5 hours.

Not exactly sure.

I've done it a few times (got a good deal on Groupon). I found it incredibly relaxing but talking to the guy who runs the place that I went, it is different for different people. Time did fly once I got comfortable which took a few minutes mainly trying to figure out how to support my head to keep the water out of my ears. I enjoyed it, and I'm glad I tried it, but to be honest I'm not sure that I would pay the usual price to go consistently.

I’ve heard some people have out of body experiences or even kind of trips like when they’re high.

Don’t think I’d enjoy that for an hour or however long it is. I find cracking a cold beer and sitting down in the recliner extremely relaxing.

I did it once because it was included in a massage package from Groupon.

If you do it after the massage, you can get lost in your mind pretty easily. It was on the verge of trippy for me. I'd do it again but wouldn't do it longer than 60min the first time which is How long I stayed.

Would the experience be enhanced by listening to Dark Side of the Moon or In Search of the Lost Chord or The Snow Goose or something like that?
