I used to be the only one in my group that tripped but I've gotten most people around to it now.
They at least know that it's not what scare stories make it out to be.

probably the same people who will try to say it should be illegal too, because it's obviously so horrible that nobody should ever have a say in whether or not they ingest it, it's THAT bad

how? Most of us tend to be successful compared to our counter parts, are you saying it's sad because many people are narrow minded?

Yep I am. Everybody else I know are just potheads, tweakers, or H junkies. This makes it difficult to find psychedelics because hardly anybody does them where I live. At least the people I know.

I'm pretty shocked at the overwhelming number of negative responses  Why do you guys hang out with people who don't share your interests? Do you have convenience/location based friends? If so, do you have a car? I know you have the internet so there's no shortage of possibilities as far as finding others to chill with...
I've had plenty of friends over time who've looked down at me for various reasons and I've been a friend to people who I looked down on; At some point it stops being worth the time and effort (friendship shouldn't be wasted time/effort) and we disconnect.
If you have other interests that coalesce with these people beyond psychedelics and you genuinely value your friendship with them, the question still stands.. Why don't you seek out people who like tripping? The obvious answer is raves, but there's hundreds of other ways to meet drug users. You're using one of them right now.
If you have insecurity/anxiety issues keeping you from feeling comfortable pursuing this, there's no better way to deal with that than immersing yourself in it! Find some one in your area on the shroomery and meet up (well-numbered posters would probably be the safest, obviously) Go to a rave/concert/show/whatever you call it. Maybe "shows and raves aren't your thing", but I assure you, there's no better way to meet potential friends than going to an organized event that exists to cater to your personal preferences. I'm sure whatever you're into is gonna be touring at some point. You'll meet shit tons of ass holes and lame-o's that you'll regret meeting,that's because people fucking suck. You're also almost guaranteed to meet a few people who, if you didn't know better, could be your long lost brothers.
It's SO easy to meet people with similar interests nowadays because musical/drug/political/etc preferences are literally the way people define themselves right now. You've still got to figure out the real people underneath to figure out who they are, but the bottom line is, the best way to meet drug users worth being friends with is by immersing yourself in current drug culture, and not continuously spending your time with people who don't understand you and avoiding opportunities for change.

I have only one friend who is experienced, and he and I have this psychonaut bond. Two other 'acquaintances' are guys that have done a little bit from time to time, but are either douchebag party guys who want to get 'fucked up' and wind up mainly drinking beer or are just plain scared.
Its weird man. I think most people aren't ready for it, or are very deeply brainwashed by society and media portrayals.

Some of my tightest friends I've been tripping with for over 15 years. I have psychedelic family all over the world and we pledge to hold it down and spread the love wherever we are. I'm very grateful for that.

It also is truly not for everyone. I think to get the most spiritual and creative satisfaction one needs to be informed and intelligent enough to understand what they are doing.
Yea, it's nice and it would be great for some people to experience them but we don't need another LSD era where swarms of people did nothing but dose and waste their life away.
Psychedelics are powerful and need to be utilized as such.
