 What do stupid people experience while tripping?

Ive always wondered this. I'm not saying a trip HAS to give you life changing insights and all that, but what do people who do psychedelics just to get fucked up experience? Do their brains filter out all the meaningfulness that trips bring? Once the trip is over do they forget and ignore all the wonderful things they have learned and seen?
By the way I don't mean stupid as in mentally impaired or mentally challenged, I mean the ignorant people in society. You know.. those idiots you come in contact with from time to time. Maybe that major pothead or pill popper you know that does drugs only to get fucked up and not for experience of learning from an altered state or different perspective.

I don't think it's a messed up question or ignorant. I mean seriously, I've always wondered the same thing. Someone for my sister for example, one who doesn't question her existence whatsoever or anything. Like what would she gain out of it, nothing really. Just a terrifying six hours.

It probably varies. Some people who just intend to "get fucked up" probably just experience it as that, while others may find that they experience religious epiphanies or philosophical insights. On the other hand, people with spiritual intentions might find that they just "get fucked up." I find it a bit disturbing that you equate just wanting "to get fucked up" a motive of stupid people. Not everyone who tries psychedelics is going to see them as a potentially enlightening experience and that includes intelligent people.
My own experiences with giving people DXM is probably illustrative of how different people respond in a very complex manner that involves a complex interplay between what they expect and how they perceive the drug before hand.
A guy I once knew who got very into doing and growing shrooms (who was about 20 at the time) was very into reading about psychedelics and really into the whole philosophical "trip" that psychedelics could offer. This guy read tons about psychedelics. One night we got him kind of drunk and talked him into doing DXM. He was depressed and sort of confused about this young woman he'd had feelings for and had been flirting with and brooded on it a lot during the experience. At one point in the night he vanished. The next day I asked him what he thought and he said that he simply felt "like he'd drank too much cough syrup." He wouldn't elaborate beyond that. Certainly, he would have been very capable of describing more of the experience than that, but he never would. I think his expectations, based on how well he knew me, would have been that DXM was a psychedelic with an inherently dark side. Whatever he experienced that night, he was reluctant to experiment with it again and basically refused to talk about it.
On the other hand, I know someone who has given DXM powder to a number of people and beforehand will tell them that it is "a dissociative anesthetic, with a neuropharmacology similar to that of ketamine." People will go into great detail about how psychedelic and trippy they find their experiences. Expectations obviously play a very large role in not only what people experience, but also their willingness to reflect on the experience and attempt to integrate it as a meaningful part of their lives.
After taking hundreds of trips on a lot of different psychedelics, I simply don't believe that much can be learned from simply having perception altered by psychedelics. I might then be able to say that it seems that, to you, I went from being an intelligent person who was curious about learning from psychedelic drugs, to being a stupid person who doesn't really think that much can be learned from them and merely takes psychedelics to get "fucked up" (that is, for entertainment; sheer sensory joy). It took me about fifty trips before I turned into an idiot and decided that "enlightenment" was nonsense and learning from psychedelics was basically bullshit.

not necessarily, i've known a few people (actually i wouldn't consider these people stupid) who take psychedelics for recreation only. they enjoy the trip but they don't rave about the insights, or whatever. they just go on with their lives when it's over.
i know people like us often tend to assign so much meaning to our psychedelic experiences that it's difficult to comprehend how or why some people don't but the fact is that some people just don't assign excessive amounts of meaning to experience once it's over, and they aren't necessarily "stupid".

depending on the dose they take, they experience whatever is going on in the depths of their psyche.
perhaps it is what they do with this information, that you consider to be stupid, or smart.
either way, what difference does it make to you?

ok, I figure i chime in on this poorly phrased topic......
ok, first, to echo a few other posters.... "stupid" is too generic, not everyone who takes them SOLEY for pleasure is "stupid" they just see things a different way..... But lets follow the assumption that "stupid" means the ones who laff all the time and see cartoons all the time, but never come to (or at least admit) a deeper journey.
On that subject, I would have to agree with you.... I have NO IDEA what is going on in them..... but sometimes, kinda wish I could be that way too >.<
Ok..... and to my main 'counterpoint' if you will....
What about the "stupid" people who talk about elves and entities or spiritual forces and mushroom spirits or mushroom spirits and spirit guides......I mean seriously the "enlightened ones" sometimes sound more retarded that the 15 yr old kids who just want to get fk'd up......
So I guess my point comes down to...... everyone who takes psychedelic drugs can be percieved as "Stupid"

Honestly I think this question is a bit ignorant. First of all, you assume that it's "stupid" to take psychedelics for any reason other than "spiritual enlightenment". What's stupid about that? Do you consider people who drink alcohol, smoke pot, or do other drugs for fun stupid? Then why must someone who uses psychedelic drugs for fun be stupid?
Also, I think you are assuming that these "stupid" people do not have philosophical questions about life, the universe, etc and therefore do not gain any insights from tripping. I believe that almost all people do question their existence, purpose in life, etc -- it's just part of the human experience. The difference is that many people, including the people who you might think are "stupid", simply don't feel the need to talk about these questions with other people. Maybe they think it will come off as weird or maybe they just don't feel like they know you well enough to talk with you about it. For you to assume just because they don't talk about these questions means that they don't have them is a bit stupid on your part if you asked me.
I also think that most people who take psychedelic drugs will have somewhat of a "spiritual experience" if they take a high enough dosage, regardless of what they expect. The first time I ever tripped I just wanted to get fucked up and see colors, but I tripped absolute balls and got the full ego-death experience. To this date that is probably one of the most intense and spiritual experiences I have ever had and I've tripped probably hundreds of times since then and with much higher dosages. Now I realize that there is more to psychedelics than just seeing colors but it took that first trip to get me to realize that.
So I guess what it comes down to is that all people who take psychedelics probably have (somewhat) similar experiences, but some people are just better at articulating them than others. I have a few friends of the beer-chugging, pot-smoking frat boy variety that just happen to be adventurous enough to try mushrooms. When they describe the experience they'll mostly talk about visuals, "omg I was so fucked up", etc. When I ask what they thought about, they'll just say something like "idk dude, some really weird shit." This leads me to believe that they did have some mind-expanding stuff going on, but they just don't feel comfortable sharing it.
Maybe you need to think about being a bit more open-minded yourself, rather than criticizing others who are different than you.

I'm also not sure what the big mystery to the question of the OP is here. "Stupid" people experience the same thing as everyone else when they trip, except that they don't intend to go into the trip with philosophical notions. Can you really say that absolutely every second you spend tripping has something to do with philosophy? Have you never been momentarily distracted while tripping by a trip toy or some cool colors, or the taste of something? "Stupid" people experience exactly the same thing except that they don't look for the philosophical aspects. For them, the experience is probably going to be just as intense, except that it might not be intense because of "philosophical revelations" but for more personal reasons. Or maybe they will have moments of "philosophical insight" which they simply later dismiss as being fucked up.
I always had a lot of really bright classmates in university and we were exposed to a wide variety of philosophies. Some people took different philosophies very seriously, while others felt that they were able to dismiss them off-hand and take them with a grain of salt. Both groups of people still had to reflect on these philosophies, but the difference was in how seriously they took them. A person isn't stupid for feeling that they don't have to take the "philosophical" aspects of a trip seriously.
Some people are also just more inclined to be pragmatic and not worry about some philosophical aspects. There is a reason why people used to joke about the value of philosophy degrees.
I also think it's kind of sad that you appear to rely on psychedelics for philosophical thought. Some of my most enjoyable and enlightening moments have occurred while sitting on a bus reading a philosophy book, completely sober. I have little doubt that rereading some pages of those books while on LSD might be more profound, I don't think that an intensified emotional reaction will mean much in the long run.
Plus, it may or may not shock you to know, that there are many intelligent people out there who think that the very notion of using a psychedelic to learn anything philosophical is downright stupid in itself. I have known people like that, even fallen in love with people who think that way and I can't simply ignore their thoughts on the matter. There is some merit to scoffing at the notion that one must alter their perception in order to experience philosophy. The validity of an argument doesn't change just because you've taken LSD.

I'm shocked at all the negative comments made towards the OP. Here's his quote that followed his "stupid" comment.
Quote:
By the way I don't mean stupid as in mentally impaired or mentally challenged, I mean the ignorant people in society. You know.. those idiots you come in contact with from time to time.
I know EXACTLY what he means.
I have seen people on strong trips just "trip"? I guess they felt wild or wierd things, but apparently no revelations, no self improvement, no wonder about the mysteries of life, no feeling of needing a change in their phsyche, no questions being answered, no wisdom being imparted from the colossel firmement.
Simply put, these people are truly ignorant.
Main Entry: ig·no·rant
Pronunciation: \ˈig-n(ə-)rənt\
Function: adjective
Date: 14th century
1 a: destitute of knowledge or education <an ignorant society>; also : lacking knowledge or comprehension of the thing specified <parents ignorant of modern mathematics> b: resulting from or showing lack of knowledge or intelligence <ignorant errors>
2: unaware, uninformed
— ig·no·rant·ly adverb
— ig·no·rant·ness noun
I think many of these people must be unaware of the boundless world that they are a part of and are simply not "open" to many of the mysteries that abound, even during the psychedelic experience.

I think the only prerequisite to philosophy is experience. In that way, I do think it is folly to believe philosphical discussion cannot be *augmented* by the psychedelic experience. But it certainly, in no way shape or form, requires it.
There isn't any requirement to take a psychedelic for spiritual or philosophical reasons. As stated and seen, people will take psychedelics all the time for purely recreational reasons. I think there's nothing inherently wrong with this.
I would say, however, that if you had someone for example who took psychedelic drugs their entire life for recreational reasons or to get "fucked up", compared to someone who started taking them for recreational reasons but eventually appreciated and incorporated the new information each experience gave them, that one of those people is essentially stagnant and immature, while the other is growing, changing and maturing. Whether there's something wrong with the former is up to your perspective, but I think it's indisputable that there's a difference. I'd personally say that someone like the former example is in a way not only stupid, but retarding their own growth in some fashion, whether consciously or unconsciously. This is how you can end up with people in their 50s and 60s who are less mature than someone in their 20s.
All that said, there's so many thoughts going on during a psychedelic experience that I find it near impossible to really express it in words. Maybe I'm just too dumb
But it's also that I don't want to shoot my mouth until I think I really understand what's going on in these experiences. I'm not in the mood to repeat the mistakes of Leary or McKenna. Substances like DMT and LSD are fantastic enough without having to fantasize. (Had DMT last night for the first time, HOLY SHIT!)

Well if you think about it like this...
What if there were people that considered themselfs too intelligent to trip, and said everything that they would experience they already know. And that people who trip are stupid and don't really gain anything out of it.
Would you be alright with that if you consider yourself the professional tripper?
I don't think its really fair to put these labels, but it does ask an interesting question. Are trips entirely influenced by life experiences and personality, or does the human body itself have an effect on what the brain interprets. Are genetics involved?

i'm amazed at how judgmental people are. i understand the question OP asked but i have no idea why it would matter. IMO, the people that go as far as to call someone "stupid," or "truly ignorant," because of the reasons one takes a drug are the stupid or ignorant ones. why does it truly matter why I eat mushrooms or LSD, your god or your ultimate reality probably isn't mine or really anyone elses for that matter. drugs are drugs, yeah some are cooler than others and some are better in this way or that but they are all drugs.
snobbery for the fucking loss.

Mmm, this doesn't have to do with the OP's question so much, but it does matter why someone is taking a substance, because that also might affect how they take it and what they do while on it. If someone's drinking something so "mundane" as alcohol, purely to get "fucked up", rather than for social reasons, for example, they're more likely to lack the judgement to know when they should, for instance, NOT be driving, and then get into a car accident which ends people's lives. It's easier to demonstrate this with alcohol than with a psychedelic, but it should show my point. I don't mind why someone takes a drug, but hopefully they're doing it with responsibility. And if someone's reason for taking a drug is irresponsible, they're more likely to make irresponsible decisions while on it, too. This doesn't mean that someone who's trying to be responsible can't freak out or make bad decisions too, but they'll make less of them. This also doesn't mean that taking drugs for purely recreational reasons means one is making irresponsible decisions. But there are irresponsible reasons for taking psychedelics as for any drug, and I think it makes sense to hope fewer people do drugs for those reasons rather than hoping for more.

Stupid people laugh uncontrollably while tripping. I have yet to find an exception to that rule.

When I first started tripping I had no real idea what I was getting myself into. It started out just as being something to do for a bit of fun, but the spiritual/mystical effects came into my trip. I feel sorry for the psychedelic elitists that do psychedelics purely for spiritual reasons and disregard how much fun you can have on these drugs. Fuck the puritans.

I just wanted to say that I'm not against a person using psychs for fun. I really don't care what anyone does with their time. I also am not saying I'm "smarter" than people, or anything like that.

I also think it's kind of sad that you appear to rely on psychedelics for philosophical thought.

By the way I don't mean stupid as in mentally impaired or mentally challenged, I mean the ignorant people in society. You know.. those idiots you come in contact with from time to time. Maybe that major pothead or pill popper you know that does drugs only to get fucked up and not for experience of learning from an altered state or different perspective.
They think they see god. Or they get "fucked up tripping balls"
who knows maybe we're all 'stupid'.

happy people who aren't looking for hidden truths in a high laugh uncontrollably. how the hell does feeling nice while on a drug make you stupid? are you stupid? how small do i look from a'top your horse? god damn. so are you trying to insinuate the "intelligent," people don't laugh much while tripping? why are they too busy being uncomfortable and overwhelmed by paranoid thoughts of god and life?

I know EXACTLY what he means.
I have seen people on strong trips just "trip"? I guess they felt wild or wierd things, but apparently no revelations, no self improvement, no wonder about the mysteries of life, no feeling of needing a change in their phsyche, no questions being answered, no wisdom being imparted from the colossel firmement.
Simply put, these people are truly ignorant.
I think many of these people must be unaware of the boundless world that they are a part of and are simply not "open" to many of the mysteries that abound, even during the psychedelic experience.
Finally someone who has an idea of what I'm talking about, but again I'm not saying someone HAS to seek spiritual enlightenment or something to have a valid reason to trip.
I also see very different interpretarions of the word "stupid".. which is my fault for using such an apparently vague word.

i think you hit it with the last part. this site is full of immature snobbish hippies who are way quick to jump on the judgment bus.

(a) I said uncontrollably... I don't see how uncontrollable laughter is a sign of genuine happiness, just of unawarely manifesting a social ego-defense mechanism (humor) uncontrollably. I don't laugh anymore, and am the happiest I've ever been. I'm genuinely happy. Do you even know what that means? Bliss?
(b) Maybe you're just stupid, and are trying to rationalize that unfortunate circumstance? Just a thought...
edit -- Peace. I didn't mean to offend, but I do stand by what I said.

1. Well generally, "ignorant" people's brains work in the same way as yours so I'm fairly certain they experience the basically the same effects.
2. Filter out all the meaningfulness? Meaningfull according to you maybe, but not to them.
3. Why is it that just because someone doesn't treat drugs like you do, that they're like some fucking ape?
4. Ignorant to what? Just calling someone ignorant is way too general. If you're talking about ignorant to the purpose of psychedelics, I wasn't aware that there psychedelics have a specific purpose and that it was fact.
5. Fuck you and your high horse for thinking less of someone because they don't do something the way you do it.

My brother is so damn stupid I don't think he even knows he is tripping when he eats mushrooms. He thinks it's just a buzz like weed or beer (he tells me it's like being drunk and high at the same time). I really doubt he's hiding anything either, because any thought he has will sooner or later come out in his endless inane ramblings 
Though I don't really see anything wrong with recreational tripping either. Infact, I feel that the more basic and happy trips are the most important. Enjoying life for what it is, and being in the moment is something very special. I'm a very introspective person, and being able to have my mind just shut up for a little bit while I live directly with the plants, birds, animals in our beautiful sunny afternoon with a big smile on my face is  . I think the problem is when people filter their trips. Either dismissing important introspective thoughts either because they are too lazy, or too scared to explore their minds. Or dismissing funny thoughts or interesting visuals because they are too afraid to have fun with their trips in hopes of having some spiritual quest.
