'shamanic way' isn't some kinky way of taking them, is it??? :-)
I have used them for emotional healing and spiritual exploration...
Many people do, even if they don't know it when they start... Those who have taken high doses
Not sure exactly the question though?

Can't it be both? I can truly say that the personal benefits from psychedelics have been profound, and at the same time, its a hella fun time too

He's referring to people using them specifically for shamanism purposes. The shamanism movement seems to be growing, and I checked it out a little bit, but I'm not sure I identify with it. I have certainly incorporated some of the ideas from the workshops I attended into my mental-health regimant, I suppose, but I wouldn't say I explore "shamanistically" (if that is a word).
Yes though, I would say that is one aspect of my psychedelic use...sort of. It's just sort of one aspect of my life in general, so I guess that is reflected in my use of psychedelics as well.

Nothing says the road to paradise can't be traveled as a joy ride
I am with you... Many of my more deeply moving experience were also fun and exciting
Have I been healed... Yes and changed
Peace

I've definitely used them as a tool for healing and self exploration. A lot of my trips were solely for this purpose, but a lot of my other trips were just to have a good time.
Some of my best trips were the ones of self exploration and have given me so much inspiration in return that I used in my personal life. It is because of using mushrooms in a shamanic manor that I have run the NYC Marathon and I also climbed Mt Kilimanjaro last year. These were both mind enhancing experiences themselves, but mushrooms helped me to realise my potential, and they also made me realise what I want to get from life..

I think balancing the fun and spiritualistic sides is the ideal approach. The insight will come, there's no hiding from it. If you're not having fun along the way then you're missing something.
I'm not exactly sure in what way you're using the word 'shamanic' here (could you elaborate?), but there's no need to be a spiritual hard ass about it. I just solo tripped for the first time and that was an extremely introspective experience, but I had a fucking blast.
If by 'shamanic way' you mean using them as a tool to understand ones self and the world, then I'm sure most of the people on this board would be with you on that one. Although I don't see much use a ritualistic or ceremonial approach (traditional, tribal, etc.) if that's what you're referring to. But I would like to hear more about it.

I'm not sure if you would consider this an entirely shamanic way, but I have been taking them for meditation, light Kundalini Yoga, and I have played guitar for ten years and with my recent experiences I have been able to approach it in an entirely new way and I am very excited. But yes, more for knowledge than recreation.

When I say I used them in a sharmanic manor, I dont mean in a traditional tribal way with rituals, I just mean I approached them with respect and used them to lose myself on solo trips in ideal settings, that was key to me!
One of my best trips was a solo acid trip climbing a snowy mountain in winter with no one around for miles, I can imagine other perfect settings might be an isolated beach near the sea or in the desert, somewhere awe inspiring. Even just your bedroom with a high dose and no stimuli like music or tv to get in the way.
But definitely enjoy yourself with mushrooms, do both. A good trip with friends can be a lot of fun and a good bonding experience.

Same for me. Tripping with friends is fun, but I think I'll be balancing it with high dose solo journeys. No matter how close I am with my tripping buddies, I like being able go in without distraction. Granted, I've only taken 1 solo trip to 6 with company. But shit was it epic.

Yeah, it's a different ballgame for sure. I've tripped with sober/drunk people quite a few times, another tripper once, and other than that it's been all solo.

Don't you need to live in a village 10,000 years ago first to be able to use them this way?

I have studied with "the little ones who spring forth" on El Diete. Why do you ask?

I would never claim myself a shaman or anything of the sorts though.
