DOn't get my wrong I really do care and love my boyfriend, but when it comes down to me I'm going to do what's best for me. If he's not willing to change with I really don't think he will it's going to be hard for me to stay with him. I talked to him a little bit last night about it and he told me that he doesn't need drugs to be happy, and he just doesn't want to do it because he never has. First off I will say that he does not judge me on the things I do, he has never restricted me or told me I was wrong. That means a lot to me because most non drug users usually flip out about things like that. I have been honest with him from the very start. He also knows that if I do the the chance to leave I will. He doesn't like that fact because he wants to stay where he grew up and where his friends and family are which nothing is wrong with, this town is a nice town, but I'm such a free spirit that I'd go insane if I stayed. Now I have no promises that I will get my dream job and I may very well end up staying here for a while. I just take it day by day and when I am put into that situation we will make a choice. As for now I feel no reason to not have him as my boyfriend even if he doesn't want to explore what I have to offer, that his choice.

Yea, I don't think it's something worth losing your boyfriend over. He seems like a pretty good guy, and if he's understanding and respectful and doesn't judge your drug use, then I would say he's worth staying with.

Some people can't be convinced to delve into the world of psychs, and there's nothing we can do. The fact that he's accepting of your use despite his non-use is pretty impressive. I'd say it's something pretty unique that's worth holding on to.

When it comes to drug testing, there is a way to avoid it if you're still worried about acid or shrooms (both of which are very rarely tested for. I'm on probation for a misdemeanor drug charge, and I still trip). You can make your own ayahuasca. It's cheap, and super easy. LSD was my drug of choice until I made my first huasca.

There's a really good tek that makes the nausea almost nonexistent, and it also keeps you from having to taste the stuff: DMT jello shots. You can make this all in the matter of under two hours, so it's very convenient.

Like I said before, don't give up on something that you think is an important part of your life, find a way to embrace it responsibly.

I'm sure there will be a point where I grow out of drugs.. I would LOVE to get away and travel around the world.

I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

TrippyHippy, you will always be able to take psychedelics. But if you want a career you need to take the responsibilities.

It seems like you really want to be something other than a nurse though.

So I suggest using your qualifications to get casual/part tiem nurshing work while you keep exploring your life options. You are quite young.

That's the thing, we don't need drugs to be happy.... If anything drugs make me slightly less happy, and that's kinda the point, you know the old saying "ignorance is bliss."

As for your situation right now, I see no reason to change it, but who knows where the world will take you in 2 years.

I'd say just go with the flow haha :smile:

Edit: elaborating on the "slightly less happy" comment. I don't think pure unfounded happiness should even exist. I'd say it's good to have a pessimistic, questioning outlook on humanity in general and a decent amount of sympathy.

I understand the predicament you are in as I am nearing completion with college as well. But I think you are making this a bigger deal than it has to be. Just because you have a career does not mean you have to give up psychedelics. They don't test for them, not in urine or hair! The only thing you may have to initially give up is pot for a few weeks to get it out of your system for if/when you get drug tested.

Unless your future employer does random drug tests you can probably return to smoking again if you wish. So don't worry about leaving your psychedelic identity behind its still there and always will be even if you quit them forever. They have planted a seed in your mind which is clear by your postings and have forever changed the way you see the world.

I am also in a similar situation with my girlfriend. She's cool with my pot use and will occasionally smoke but not so much with psychedelics. She has no desire or curiosity about it and just says "its not for me". To which I say, "good,more for me!"

In all serioiusness though, the experience is absolutely earth shattering and it is natural to want to share the experience with a loved one but unfortunately for us they are too close minded,scared, nervous, or apprehensive to be open to such an experience. This is the issue I struggle with as we have been in a relationship for almost 2 years. And although we are compatible in just about every other way we tend to but heads on this issue. My advice is to just let them live the way they want to and if they allow you to do the same then I say to just leave it at that and carry one with your relationship. Luckily for you if the relationship doesn't pan out there are a lot more guys that do like to dabble in psychelics versus females that you could embark on a relationship with.

It's not easy living in the default (real) world as a psychedelic explorer. You would be surprised how many of us (psychedelic users) are living "undercover". It can be done.

I myself graduated from a four year university and have two master degrees. Trust me, there are a lot of us out there.

I think she means the following: it's not the inability to do psychedelics, but the "noise" which defines the life foreseen thrusts their teachings to the background, or even perverts them.

Here's the deal: the complex of ideas which stitchs society is very, very fragil, tiny. It's owed to its constant mental impinging (its characteristic anticipatory mindset and so forth). It's not reality that you leave yourself into in this case, but its illusion/fiction. the commitment. And this commitment never actually exists, it is an imaginary disposition of your lived spaced that's being resisted - it Here's what you ought to do: take the leap now, before concretizing is IMAGINARY. Its reality is by conviction, layed by your ego, which is what you must give up. And what I'm telling you is that the reality of the situation remains.

To live as you anticipate, forcefully, may only then become an option.

If you do not enjoy the performing of the job's enterprise (inc. its microcosmic reflections, e.g., literally "injecting someone") why should you perform it? The finality is an abstraction. To this "why" the anticipatory nature of mentioned mindset replies, imprisons. It's the issue of survival - transcended by WANTING to live, an exchange of the indirect desire to for the direct, which is what you are.

Take your present uncertainty to a "level 5" dance. :wink:

Hi Trippy Hippy.

You have nothing to worry about. I know a few people in the medical field, including a travel nurse that I know VERY well.

There is no test for psychedelics, unless you happen to have to take a 10 panel, which will then include ecstasy, but it leaves your system so quickly that it is not a problem.

Travel nurses only have to take a test when they switch assignments, and even then it is just a pee test, usually five panel (THC, coke, barbs, opiates, pcp).  You just stop smoking weed for a few days, buy one of those "drinks" if it makes you feel better, and you are good to go.

I know one nurse who has been at it for 15 years, 10 of them travelling, and there has never been anything more than a pee test that came with plenty of warning (she was switching assignments).

You don't have to give up your true self to have a career.  It's just that you have to do the daily grind instead of indulging yourself all the time.  It sucks, but it does make the time you spend your own way that much sweeter.

Travel nurses can take all the time they want between contracts, along with not getting caught up in all the political BS that long term hospital employees love to stir up.  Add in the great pay and adventures (with money to fund them) and you are in for a good time.

You guys make me have hope that I can do what I wan to do. I really do want to be a nurse though. I love everything about it and I love my school. I don't smoke weed so I really don't have to worry about a piss test. I am really lucky to have a boyfriend that doesn't rub it in my face about being a "drug user". A lot of you have given me really good advice and I feel better about what may or may not happen :smile:

I live the life of Truman, sort of. I am 39, I am an IT professional with a great paying job I really like, a house, a wife, two kids and a dog. And yet I have never had to give up psychedelics. I have a whole drawer full of candy of all sorts and indulge whenever I feel like it and the situation is right. Of course it isn't the same as when I was 20, when I'd get stoned every day and tripped every week, but it would be horrible if I hadn't changed in the past twenty years. It's normal. I had the same "Oh my god, I am 20 now, my youth is over and it ain't coming back!" depressions, but trust me, it's temporary. Every age has its special charm. Interests and priorities change all the time. Life isn't static.

Are you the exception to the rule?  How many of you do you think are out there living a successful life in the conventional sense and still regularly tripping or taking drugs?  Man, I think of all the regular drug users that have entered in and out of my life and the vast majority of them were struggling.  Whether that was a consequence of the drugs or a reaction to their circumstances, I don't know, but there seems a strong connection between unhappy lives and regular drug use.

Perhaps the OP should consider not putting her career, mental health, personal relationships, criminal record, and future on the line so she can trip.  Think about those five categories that she could possibly destroy by taking the advice of the chorus of Yes's in this thread.

Here's a different tune and you're all gonna hate it:
TrippyHippy, weed makes you dumb(believe it), psychedelics make you nutty(read some threads around these parts), and everything else is too addictive (check out Other Drugs Forum.)
You made amazing strides, watched other drug users fall by the wayside, and you're contemplating muddying up the waters again?  You're smarter than that.

Don't really have anything to add that these fellow shroomates haven't so i thought i'd ask that.
