Well...even if he was sober would you mind him sitting you? Honestly, just having him THERE might be good enough. Maybe have him spark up if you don't like 100% straight sitters.

Or would he freak, and hence cause YOU to freak?

I'm experiencing the same Issue, I'm a so called 'artist'. dedicated my life after high school, to art. Offered my whole being to it, put up the middle finger to the system and chased my dream.. 7 years passed. And to this day I managed to survive, but the system still can't be beaten, it was my main goal, that every day of my life I wake up to fuck the system and not let it fuck me. But who am I to screw the system? I tried creating my own system but I live in a tiny island with a shitty society and government.. With few opportunities.. Psychedelics are a big part of who I am now and where I stand, yet I find myself suffering, for struggling to live. I simply cannot face the 'not so real world'.. i can't call it real world..

Real world my ass.. I wasn't made to work all my life in a shitty job i hate till I die like a moronic robot.

I want to live like a creature, a habitant of planet earth.. Yet I was raised in the western world, and it is not easy to destroy the way you were brought up and go live like an animal..

I hate money.. It saddens me, the lackness of it, it's texture.. I just cannot sell my soul for paper that only has currency..

It's fucked up. I'm only 22 and going thru all kinds of mindstates and cannot handle the system nor society..

I'm a very solitairy being and usually stay away from the 'unreal' world out there.

All I want is peace, and to live comfortably.. I don't wanna be rich.. i just want to live without struggling.

I hope you find what you're seeking for TrippyHippy, but form my perspective, its already there. You can keep taking psychedelics in your situation. And if anything doesn't feel right, go ahead and change it!

Boom boom

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.




Thanks for going against every one. I like to see different sides and views. You are right, weed does make you stupid. When I smoked every day I could never thing right and moved so so slow. When I stopped all the cloudiness cleared. I will also agree with you that psychedelics can make you nuts. I went through that phase last summer and stopped tripping for a good 8 months because I had a trip where my entire life shattered and it took me that long to regain myself. It was like from the movie Inception when their times up and the whole dream world starts shattering, well that's my my REAL world did. Also if i ever did get caught and had something on my record I would NEVER get a nursing job. About a month ago I was supposed to go to a rave with my friend, I had a really bad feeling about it and ended up staying home on a Friday night to study instead. Well she got caught with prescription drugs, well that's a felony. Nurses and felonies don't mix.

Or maybe just a description and the type of appeal she wears?
Tommy hillfigure, or tye dye?

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




If you look hard there are pictures on me on here. Depending on where I'm going or who I'm with I have tye-dye and Hollister clothes.

He was with my last time I tripped on my birthday. He told me the next day that I was being mean to him, but that's because he brought all his friends around me and they freaked me out. He didn't at all, but his friends just gave me the creeps. I felt like they were sitting there just judging the shit out of me. Also this is really finny. He refused to kiss me all night which lead me to think he was mad at me, so the next day I asked him why he wouldn't kiss me and he told me he thought if he kissed me he would start tripping. Lol silly boy.

Yea at one point in my life I was determined to beat the system too and move into the woods are try to be self sufficient. I think that was a fantasy from psychedelics... Yea it sucks having to live in this culture, but I also think I am very privileged. I have amazing opportunities to go to college. I have always had food to eat and a place to sleep, I don't have to worry about not having medication when I'm sick or getting some outrageous disease with no stable health care around. Yes There are other countries that do no have to live with the system controlling them but there struggle to survive outweighs what I have to deal with. There are places I can go to hide from the system for a little while get my mind in tact and then just return still being happy, they can't hide from starvation. I know money can be the root of evil cause greed, power struggle, and control issues, but it also provides me with the basic needs of my life and the ability to perhaps one day do something great.

I rage it 24/7. I'm at least high and probably drunk at any given point in time, and I'm always down for a psychedelic journey. I've never "prepared" for a trip outside of getting myself all excited for it, and I'm doing fine.

I work my job, pay for my house, and am constantly fucked up. I'm probably an exception to the rule of constant drug use will make you useless. Actually, I work better not sober (on anything outside of heavy psych doses) than sober.

Gotta speak their language if you wanna be able to change the system. Can't just stick to your beliefs, ignore theirs, and expect them to change the way they make the rules. I myself have been (well still am haha) in a similar situation as yourself, extremely frustrated with society, feeling like the conventional get a college degree, work a 9-5 job thing is complete and utter bullshit, wishing that traveling around the world, playing my music would be all I'd have to do in my life (with a few other things :biggrin:). But let's be real here, what kind of change can we impose if we have no experience in this real world of theirs? Find others like us and build up an army? No. The whole idea of peace would be compromised if its achieved through war. The only way we can get the system to change is if we work with it instead of going against it.

Yes, all the hippie ideals are great, but honestly look around you: this isn't the reality we live in. I can't go around the world, playing music with my band, because I don't have the money to. You can pretend that abstaining from the system is fine and ignore everything and everybody else, but that won't get you anywhere. And it doesn't have to be this way. True, in our society, money and material success are the major highways out of struggle. Yes, they're evil, but how can you expect to affect the masses if you yourself are struggling to bring home the meat, just because you feel like you're too good to conform to the way things are?

TrippyHippie, life's about sacrifices. I'd say take a break from drugs for a long while. Make that sacrifice in exchange for advancing your education and position in the 'real world'. Take care of your basic needs first, you don't want your children, if you have them, growing up in a shit-hole, do you? You don't have to change your beliefs, only your behavior. Think about the rest later. Perhaps, once you're established, you'll find a way to integrate your beliefs into your own life and lives of those around you. Hopefully, with life will come wisdom, and years later, when you find yourself pondering over these matters again, you'll have the answer.

A game without challenges is boring. It is possible to live a happy optimistic life without being in denial about all the shit that goes on all around.
You just gotta get up and dance with the fire instead of moping about it. Be thankful for your problems.
Without them, your life would be a fucking bore.
But don't make it all about the problems. There are magnificent wonders in this world worth living for :wink:

Well i wouldn't go thaaat far, everything in moderation you know. I think as long as you aren't using marijuana habitually and you don't take psychedelics obscenely often or in experimental doses you should be fine.... But then again it totally depends on the person.

I quit weed personally (for the most part) because I found the enlightenment to detrimental effects ratio (lol) to be lacking compared to other psychedelics.

I'm worried that at some point I'm going to reach this same point and I might have to decide whether to just keep using or to give up my psychedelic use and get on with my "real" life.... I know that it's not going to make me too dumb for my job or anything of the sort, but if anything will make me realize (key word realize) the shittiness of my pseudo-real situation. It's all going to come down to whether I want to be blinded or not, similar to having a hole in your pants in a speech to an auditorium full of people and whether you'd want to be aware of it (maybe a bad analogy lol)

It's all too much to figure out right now

PS. I saw ur pics, you know curiousity.. and wow you're gorgeous :smile:

Well I know I'm not going to quit until after the summer. I already have a trip planned to go to Electric Forest and I don't want to do it sober. That's probably the only weekend I will trip all summer. I don't like tripping a lot. To me it is special and I don't want to ruin it by doing it too often. Plus it takes a huge toll on my body. My mind loves it but my body hates me the next day. I don't know what I will end up doing, but it was nice to get some input and see how other people handle there psychedelic use and uphold their lives. At this point I am sure it is possible to maintain both. I don't think I can fully make a true decision until that point in my life comes. I will take the chances I get to trip this summer because it very well may be the last time I will do it. I know this festival is going to be life changing and who knows it may hold my answers. I'm going with great great people, one of which I met on here, who has become my big brother. And my very best friend who I gave her first trip. If any of you live near Michigan or not I still think you should make the trip out to electric forest! I love meeting my shroomery people.
