I do them for fun often but always in a setting where if I go too deep into negative thought patterns I am somewhere where I feel safe with friends I trust. I try to take them with no goal at all but to experience. I wouldn't compare them to huffing glue at all. I'd compare them to dreaming. If you feel your dreams are worthless and don't want to interpret them that's fine or you could be the other extreme and over analyze everything. It's just your mind processing information and presenting it to you in different ways. My first shroom trip I expected to see things melt and warp not to become one with the universe and for some moments barely be able to tell that my friend and I were two separate individuals. I hadn't read anything like that before Joe. Not everyones brain is the same..
Edit: most people know someone who did a psychedelic thinking they were party drugs and spent the whole time dwelling on facts about their life and having a bad trip they didn't know existed.

I always trip for fun. If i happen to learn something, its usually just a quick reflection on how much i love my family, usually instigated by watching the Simpsons.
For me, theres no objective besides having fun and letting loose. Just keep the lights on, music and cartoons rolling, joints burning, and thoughts happy!
Sometimes i feel like the trip is pulling me towards a learning experience. things get pointy, and i see concerned looking eyes all over the wall. Sometimes everything flows in a particular direction that almost seems to yell "close your bedroom door!" But, for me its easy enough to keep concentrating on cartoons, roll a dub, and laugh my ass off for hours.
Life is hard enough. I use shrooms when i feel accomplished. Its nice to sit back, feel amazing, trip balls, and have a personal night.

how you do it??? cuz i've tried but i can't help but to reflect of real life matters while on psychedelics. now, don't get me wrong, there are times when i have lots of insane and crazy fun, but at the end of day, i always end up reflecting on my own personal and life issues whether i like it or not.
i can't just eat mushrooms and expect not think about what is it that life is, for me, and for those around me.
Frequency, dude. If you don't trip for a long time, it's like every day you live you put another layer on the onion, then when you trip you have to strip all those layers off to get back to the ground of being. These layers are the thoughts and the conclusions and the wrong ideas and the unexplored feelings and dreams and all the stuff you imagine happens that isn't real.
Get back to the real and it's fun again, 'cause really that's all it ever is. Consecutive days are the best for me, sure you get tolerance but grow more, that's the key. The trip changes obviously - why? Because the first one is like blasting away the barriers keeping you from your true reality, and all the fears and weirdness you got into after the last time has to go away before you're ready to have the fun again.
YMMV but I've seen this so many times in my journeys it's become a ritual for me. 
"There is no why."

Johnny Depp said: It gives you an altered state of mind for a short time in which you can see things from a different angle. But that angle isn't always true.
IMHO mushrooms lie. So I don't take things I think about on them too seriously. That's not to say I haven't occasionally learned something good. It's just mostly a waste of thought. I have thought up all kinds of theories and philosophies, and later when I'm sober thought "WTF was I thinking?"
And being a materialist/atheist I don't get any spiritual/god connection either. When I talk to god or ghosts, or feel vibes or whatever I don't connect that to some higher power trying to actually contact me.
So I take them for fun, and if I get anything out of it then great! But usually I get more useless bad/serious/loop trips than real epiphanies. I get more perspective from talking to other people and thinking about things sober than some psychedelic drug. Fucking Shrooms! There, I said it
completely agree in my opinion if everyone thought like this going into a trip there would be less "bad trips" that u hear about if u dont take it so serious it wont be

why does reflecting on your life have to mean you're having a bad time? work on your attitude or your life

I take shrooms for fun. I always find that my trips are very introspective, as I always dose alone, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun 
It's all about what you, where you go, and your attitude. I rarely dose, so every time I do I am overcome with that "magic". It's a comfortable journey into a mystical land of confusion.

Like others have said before its a mindset , you can go in any direction. Be it spiritual or logically illogical. Anything is possible. Wasn't there a study where people were given shrooms in a laboratory setting and 3 of the 5 had trips of being abducted by aliens and spoke or were interactive with the beings ?

Go to the beach and play frissbee for 4 hours with some good music and good friends. Stay occupied and your mind won't wander IMO I ate myshies at the beach and just smiled and chucked disc the whole time. No worries or cares

I'm glad that some people are questioning the utility of these drugs. Its counterintuitive to think how powerful the experience is and then to dismiss it as meaningless garble. After all, how could anything that does that to your mind, that feels like a Big Bang in your head be insignificant, pointless, and devoid of anything substantive? It doesn't make sense, right? It makes you feel as if the universe is converging upon you, you are the point of complete totality and oneness. You are God. To dismiss it is insulting and shows some type of low self-esteem.
But to accept it is even worse.

Skepticism to myself: I'm an arrogant, sarcastic asshole who probably has low self esteem somewhere deep down inside. I have a million dollar smile and a finely tuned bullshit detector that went off kilter for a while when I loaded my brain with powerful drugs, psychedelic literature, and forum talk. But I am back, sharp as a motherfucker, sporting a high and tight fade, with the passion and zeal of a militant Muslim. Yeah, I'm a polar thinker, I have trouble with black and white, difficulty discerning shades of gray, especially when it comes to the benefits of these drugs.

Mr. Joe Molloy, quick question:
Many moons ago, when you were an innocent tripper; did you have any "bad trips"? Just an interesting thought I had reading your response...
I had a few rough trips on ayahuasca towards the end of my two year weekly run of it. A few hours where everything would make complete sense and then it would shatter into chaos and this would go on and on. It was madness, but a great polar opposite to the enlightened bliss that I'd usually feel. Eventually I started seeing my addiction and obsession and began to think honestly about my drug use. It was at that point when my opinion of these drugs really started to sour. And as I thought more about it, the less impressed I became with myths I built around them.

All of my trips have been extremely fun and spiritually enlightening. On a good trip, I will be laughing my ass off because I've just discovered a truth about humanity. Things can be serious and funny even when not tripping.

Dawks said: Actually Joe, I, like yourself have tripped before the "spiritual" connection between psychedelics was very mainstream (keep in mind though humans have been using entheogens for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years). And like you said "nothing really spiritual happened, we just tripped our balls off." That being said, the psychedelic high was unlike any other. Rather than getting the high or euphoria directly from the drug, I was pulling the high from my surroundings. This gave me a renewed appreciation for life.
You lost me at "I was pulling the high from my surroundings." That's attributing some magical power these drugs even though you'll argue you meant it metaphorically. You were fucked up and the world looks pretty when it sparkles and feels even better when your pleasure receptors are drowning in psychedelic cum. Yeah, we all appreciate life when we're on a pleasure trip and sometimes its so powerful that we'll feel good for days.
Quote:
Later in life I started getting into eastern philosophy. One of the things I quickly realized is that some of the fleeting moments I had on psychedelics that didn't really seem important before, now truly resounded with me.
And as it stands psychedelics are something that I would consider a spiritual tool, or as Albert Hofmann put it "medicine for the soul." I do agree with you that "it will do nothing you can't do on your own." But I strongly believe that psychedelics can help skeptics and self doubters realize the true potential of their mind - which in turn can lead to long term peace and contentment down the road.
So contrary to your statement, I don't really view psychedelics as a cheap high, on par with huffing glue - because psychedelics, in my subjective opinion have the power to open people's minds to their own potential and this makes them very powerful and medicinal indeed.
It's this type of thinking that I take issue with. What does it open your mind to? What new potential do you have that you didn't before? Once I got honest with myself, I couldn't think of anything positive that it did.
Those cliches sound uplifting and empowering, but they are stale and empty to me. You are still the same guy with the same problems with the same limitations as you were before you tripped. Except now you think you have a secret telephone line to your eastern philosophy and that if you really concentrate during your trips, the ideas on those pages will come to life. And they will come to life. Seriously. And so will the Bible, the Koran, and a Superman comic book. They'll all come to life with equal power. Which one is real? None of them. You're just really fucking high and confused.
I had the God of the Old Testament in my living room. I was sure of it. And that's no joke, Dawks. Would you feel safe around me?
