GOOD TRIP Before you alter your consciousness, giving your mind the opportunity to discover an entirely new, mesmorising and eye-opening experience, it may be a beneficial idea to prepare... Are you okay? A key tip to having the best adventure on pyschedelics is being mentally stable and well, happy. If there is something going on deep deep inside, then right now probably isn’t the best time. Pyschedelics have the power to remind you of how tough the things actually are that you are going through - and once your tripping, there isn’t exactly a way out... until it’s over. Good people = good time. You’ll have the best time if you are with your real buddies. A small group, a safe space and a good vibe, will result in an amazing experience. It’s also a pretty cool idea to have a sober pal there, just incase things do go a little rough - they’ll be there to help. Ensure you trust each other, the worst thing you’d want happening is a “mate” messing with you. A big NO NO! Don’t over do it. Unlike other substances, psychedelics don’t follow “the more the merrier” kind of vibe. Start off with a low dose, you don’t need much. “Do you feel anything yet?”. Be patient! As said above, start off small, and WAIT... you will feel something, eventually. Unless you’ve been waiting hours, you don’t need more. Usually it’s when you start convincing yourself that you aren’t going to feel anything, that your adventure is about to begin... Stay HYDRATED.

My name is Phoebe Taylforth, and I am the editor as well as founder of WONDERLAND Magazine. I decided to create this edition and base it off psychedelics as it is a unique topic to discuss, nor have I ever read a magazine regarding them. A pastel colour theme was used throughout the magazine to symbolise the magic that psychedelics can bring, and the images were carefully selected and edited to suit the topic. WONDERLAND Magazine’s name was chosen due to the fact that psychedelics can put the user in their own wonderland, and I wanted it to feel mystical to it’s viewers. It was also a bit of a coincidence that all of my university work from this semester had a magical vibe to it, it reminded me of the Alice in Wonderland story books I loved as a child.
I personally believe that it is important to educate people on the safe use of drug taking/experimentation because people will try things. It is human nature to become curious and give something a go - this is why we need to EDUCATE! Psychedelics are extremely powerful and have the strength to change somebody mentally forever. They have been used in trials for mental patients, and for other medical purposes. Instead of scaring individuals away from experimentation, they should be advised on how to try things safely, so that they enjoy themselves and have a good experience. By creating a bright and fun to-the-eye magazine, an educational message can be portrayed to the reader. It is important to give things a go in llife, otherwise we would be bored and bottle things up. You can’t live your life wondering... give it a go if it feels right for you!
