learning nothing from a mushroom trip?

hey everyone! i just had my first mushroom trip about 5 days ago, and it was AMAZING. i learned soooo much about EVERYTHING, it almost felt as if the mushroom was sorta "force-feeding" me information about life, the world, etc. but i was wondering if its possible to learn absolultely nothing from the mushroom? like some of my friends just sorta use it as a party drug and to get "fucked-up," but i can't really see mushrooms as something that wouldnt make you realize things about your life and so forth. what do you all think?

They are great teachers or great tools of realization. There hasn't been one trip where I've thought something clever or learned something life changing.

To help with remembering what you learn I have always carried a small steno notebook that fits in my back pocket. You will be amazed at the complexity of your thought process and the amazing revelations you may find.

There are a lot of factors that could cause other people to just use it as a party drug, for instance "peer preasure" could keep someone from sharing their experiences because the are afraid of looking "stupid" or "weird" by having an enlightening experience from mushrooms. To me, this is complete foolishness, and to do this is to be unjust to one's self. For some reason, a lot of people believe that having no effect from drugs is "cool". I don't understand this logic and never will. To use something this sacred to just get "fucked up" is like a christian using the Bible to level out a table.

some people go to great lengths to make sure they're distracted from themselves during a trip.

I'm constantly thinking about weird life stuff.... having 'revelations of ideas' about new things every day, so sometimes when I trip I just like to enjoy the trip and get a brake from all the deep thinking.

All I do pretty much while I trip is analyze my life, except for on the come down when I seem to get the most visuals for some reason and get the euphoria.
