 Psychedelic Poll - Anybody Can Participate 
#7598458 - 11/05/07 01:04 PM (2 years, 8 months ago) |

A friend of mine is writing a paper for school and needs to conduct a survey. He asked me to go ahead and ask this question, so here goes...
Here's the question: Has the psychedelic experience changed you permanently?
He said that all he needs is a yes or a no. Also, he said that you can elaborate if you wish.
Thank you.

I haven't really tripped enough or had an intense enough trip for anything really life-changing to happen just yet.

Where I would be without psychedelics is a drab and boring world. God knows what I would do with all my time if I wasn't thinking about my first trip. Or the second one. Or the third... and so on.
--------------------
Life's just a flashback...
I may have gone a bit too far, I fear
Will I get out of it this time?
What was I thinking, taking this leap
I thought I knew where we would go
If only I knew, I had no idea

I have changed. But i don't know if i want to participate in this poll. usually questions about people's lives being changed are related to negative experiences.
I would have to a say that most people have great life changeing experiences and a fraction of people who have really terrifying bad trips are scared for life.
So if you could please note the amount of people who saay that tripping has changed their lives possitively. Don't just turn in the answers to this poll as a yes or no. Because most surveys would probably see those "yes" votes as being a negative thing.

Not necessarily.. I don't assume that people who say yes had a bad experience, you could just as easily have a good life changing experience or realization

This is kind of a silly question...a psychedelic experience will change you, but so will any experience. Our identities are based on a complex web of responses to events over the courses of our lives. That is why no two people are exactly alike. So yeah, psychedelics have changed me. So did watching Seinfeld earlier today. Sorry if I'm trivializing the question, but it's really a matter of degree as apposed to a yes or no sort of thing.

Yes, but to a small degree. I wouldn't be a vastly different person without them.

Dude, I totally agree, and yes, I find the question to be rather silly as well. However, sometimes you are restricted by the natural scienes to provide evidence of that which is obvious, and if I am not mistaken, I do believe that this is the reason as to why my friend asked me to ask this.
