If you would like to experience an LSD trip but you do not wan't to use any substances and do not wan't to lose the illusion that you are in control of your life - I have an option for you: Redi Mall in Kalasatama, Helsinki, Finland.

It is quite easy to get this trip. You take a metro/subway to Kalasatama station and right through the doors and you are in. To those who wonder if they know how to choose the right metro rail - in Finland we have one metro, which is in Helsinki, the capital city, and it is only one line. Well yes, you go other track to the other direction and the other to opposite direction, but it should be quite easy. In the other end it though separates to to possible end station, but that is way before Kalasatama station, so you don't need to bother yourself with that.

When you get inside the Redi Mall - walk anywhere and you are in a rabbit hole trip. For the architecture they have taken inspiration probably from the digestal inner parts of different creatures for different floor. Corridors roofs are low, there is no straight wievs, there are big round and square pillars as obstacles for you to see where you are going, pillars which some are straight many are not but looks like they are just thrown there, like the design program had some bugs in it.

So the architecture from the bird wiev is a digestal system, but each floow has its' own architecture. So if you find elevator or some kind of transportation to the next floor (the maps I got there lacked all stairs and stuff, only paid guides which were helping people had them in their maps but they were not aloud to give them to people), you don't know without a map how the corridors go there merry go round.

I have to warn you: it is a bad trip. I haven't heard yet anyone to say it was a good trip to Redi. But it is free (well the one way metro ticket and back with ambulance, water and food suplies you need to stay alive there while trying to figure your way around there and very soon out of there, plus the possible medical costs or psychiatric counsel and drugs) and you have the illusion that you are in control.

But there you are: LSD trip without substances in Finland.
