Dude, just don't think too deeply about it. Psychedelics are a part of your life. They're a part of mine too. Trust yourself, not other people's impressions of you. Only YOU know what is going on with you, ya know? And honestly, everything is connected. As long as you use psychedelics as a tool to better your understanding of your unique Dream, I don't see the problem. I use psychedelics to give me information about my writing and my life. Nothing wrong with that...

I don't discuss my drug use with anyone who isn't Shroomery because yeah, just about everyone else doesn't understand why I use them as frequently as I do, and it's none of their business anyway. My focus when using psychedelics is CONSCIOUSNESS not psychedelics, psychedelics are just a way for me to broaden my understanding of consciousness.

Other people have a way of attaching their fear to your aura; it's a human vice that everyone does, but it sounds like you are very sensitive to this. Keep in mind that a lot of concern is just fear blanketed in kindness. You don't need other people's fear...

HOWEVER, if her response struck a nerve, then just take a little more time off between doses then you usually do. Don't get freaked. YOU are the pilot of this human machine, and nobody else knows how to drive your vessel but you...

I didn't expect my response to get so passionate, but those are my true thoughts. Just TRUST YOURSELF and what you feel is true in your own spirit. That's your compass.

God MOTH, I fucking love you. THanks so much for your response. I feel that we are two completely different people written on to one page in life's grand story. I love when you pose in my journal. Thank you.

I guess that's one area where you and I certainly differ. See to me, I take it as an affront to everything I believe in that that is how I probably SHOULD behave. I truly deeply stings and offends me that I "should" (hate that word) keep these things to myself. One of my many life goals is to, on a personal level with the people I personally interact with, smite that stigma against psychedelics and that stupid word, "drugs." I guess I this is part of that process. Feeling backlash even from those I am close with.

I can live with that. All I have to do is think back to the end of Tuesday night's acid trip. When I looked at myself in the mirror. "I love this guy," I said, patting my hands against my chest. Then I clenched my fists and screamed out a scream of utter joy, at being alive. It's a privilege. I'm happy with what I'm doing, and I'm grateful for the worriers among my friends, but I don't think anything will stop me at this point from doing what I want to do.
