..that you had never been introduced to any psychedelic drug of any kind. How would your life be different? What choices would you have made different? I'm interested in hearing how you think things would have gone.

That's the thing that gets me. I'll never know. I wouldn't be enjoying life as much, that's for sure.

right? I remember the teacher in health class acting like he was on acid to show us what it was like. allegedly. He was jumping all over the desks yelling about imaginary birds flying all over the room.
OP no way of knowing. I only know that I would not be the person I am today.

id probably never would have learned to appreciate the small things in life. idk where id be though, i don't think i want to know. I did other drugs before i did psychedelics so i guess i would never have joined the navy to clean up my life and get away from the worse drugs. That part sounds kind of good though but just that part.

since i started doing psychs i feel like my personality has changed... psychedelics give me a different perspective, which leads to different thought patterns, without which i may not have changed i guess im saying its hard to tell in the mental sense, but now i grow shrooms, and i can for sure say i would not be doing something this cool if it wasnt for psychedelics (and the wonderful shroomery of course) interesting thread

Shrooms gave me better artistic talent and made me appreciate nature more, and also made me less ignorant about LSD and all psychedelics in general.
And as for the increase in my artistic talent, this is true. I took shrooms and it allowed me to see art from a different perspective, I now have patience when it comes to art, I can see a dramatic difference in the detail of my art before i took shrooms and after.

I would have been a victim to my own self-pity and self-justification. Not due to any particular weakness of mine, that's just how it goes when the only thing you've ever experienced is your self. So I would definitely be a million times more prone to depression and becoming offended at things. I think without their being something truly higher to aspire to, and without seeing how good the world REALLY is in its realness, I might have ended up pretty nihilistic over the abundance of negativity out there, which in reality is only necessary in order for me to feels so good man. but I never would have known. I never would have known just how deep feels good man goes

Yeah, but what good is money if you're not happy?
I'd probably be a lot like I am now, but less inclined to question anything that someone says. So many people accept whatever they're presented with as fact, few people ask questions and look for real answers. I'm so much happier with who I am as a result of using psychedelics.

Like everyone said, I'd still be an ignorant dumbass with emotional/social problems and depression. I would not appreciate nature as much, or be interested in art and different styles of music. I'd still be listening to really shitty metal convinced it is the best and ONLY form of music worthy of attention.
I would probably have fewer like minded friends and pity myself over stupid, unimportant things in life. I wouldn't be so open minded. I wouldn't enjoy life nearly as much and I'd probably be convinced drugs are the devil. My writing as advanced so much since psychedelics and maturing, and I wouldn't be nearly as creative. Also, my room wouldn't be dressed with different paintings and especially not the Dead poster I have up. I would've attended less concerts (prolly none) and would never have been as open to new experiences, choosing most likely to continue my same routine over and over again till I die.
The realizations and insight I have come to would not make it to my conscious mind, and I wouldn't be writing on this forum. Psychedelics are so amazing for the mind.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy psychedelics that lead to happiness.
