Why do you use psychedelics? (speak your mind)

Ive used psychedelics since i was a teen. I grew up without my mother because she died when i very young. Growing up without a mother and just being the person i am can make it very hard to relate to people. I used to suffer from anger issues and i just wasnt a pleasant person. I started smoking cannabis around 13 and it made realize that my reality could be altered in different ways than the way alcohol effects you . This made me want to try LSD and it wasnt very hard to find i was at a friends house and i took two tabs . The trip was very nice and gave me a very enlightening experience breaking tearing down the concrete walls i thought were set in stone and made me who i was. This is what started my whole psychedelic journey . Now every time i take a psychedelics may be be mescaline or ayahuasca i try to translate my feelings while in this state to my real life actions and be reborn to put these skills to work in my everyday life to change how i treat people and change my insight on things i cant do while sober . Without doing this in my opinion is just "awhhing" the fireworks rather than putting these wonderful tools to use.
I would love to here your reason for using the agents the government considers mind rotting..

I started using psychedelics in high school because I was a junky looking to try anything. LSD cured me of my junky ways, and now I do psychedelics for the insights into my personality, and to find superior models for how I approach and perceive the world. I guess you could say I am liable to depression too, and psychedelics temporarily cure my depression (from weeks to years depending on the experience). I probably use psychedelics too much now tbh. I should probably cut back a bit to get more out of it.

Yea i see what you mean just makes me upset that the society we live in today has been lied to so long that they dont realize if used right these drugs can change a persons life . Everyone deserves happiness.

I use them because i truly feel i enter a space of evolution. Whenever i take lsd mushrooms dmt or mescaline i feel like i aged a year(in experience)

Agreed. I am actually going to be devoting a lot of time to writing about this. Quote:

What does the experience do to you make you feel that way? Would you say the trips have helped you in reality? Im sure not most people are like this but whenever i take psychedelics especially ayahuasca i get epiphanys about what i could being differently.

Idk i just feel like theres a higher reality and a space you enter where you learn more about yourself and reality. I feel like i tune in with everything when i do psychs.

I started smoking weed at 15. Around the same time I started drinking. I decided straight away that I liked weed a lot more than booze. At 18 I lived in Australia for an exchange year and got in contact with other drugs. Mostly speed, some very crappy "XTC" pills (it couldn't have been MDMA in those fuckers) and a single tab of LSD that didn't do much. The only thing I remember as being memorable is looking at a framed starfish that spun around a bit. I felt it was alive and looked at me.
Being back in the Netherlands with some drug experiences under my belt, I felt it was time to buy mushrooms. It was still legal at that point. So I did and shared a trip with a close friend. I had read experiences on erowid for days and days on end. I decided I'd take 3.5g dried. It completely blew me away!!
I ended up being so far from reality that I had to test every law of nature in my head. I ended up mumbling and pacing around the house in confusion. I dropped everything I could find to test if gravity was still working normally. I wrecked my parents house...
It was taxing mentally, I was exhausted.
I quickly found a link with my studies at the time. I was doing a research internship with an Indian dude that put a lot of pressure on me, even though I was only a first year chemistry student. I took all the questions from his research project home with me and could never relax because I was always thinking of new hypotheses and experiments. It drained me just as much as the trip drained me, and in the same way... By questioning and testing everything.
At that moment I realised that shrooms are valuable teachers. I realised a research career was not for me. I turned my college plans around a bit and got more into science communication.
I also knew that it was only the first of many lessons I would learn through continued use of psychedelics.
The love affair had started

Its like each time i trip more channels of questions open up that cant be answered. Its as if if i grow closer to the mystery yet i cannot solve the questions. But im still learning because im opening up more channells of understanding

Thats the exact feeling I get when I K-hole. I feel like I glimpse the final chapter. Just like you said.

Its like getting older but shorter at the same time. Or getting closer to something but seeing less of it.

I take them cause they're a lot of fun. I've learned a lot about myself, life, the world, universe, etc over the years. However the main reason I continue is cause I enjoy it. It also gives a solid reboot/fresh perspective. Easy to fall back into old habits/thinking patterns. It's easy to let life get the better of you. A solid trip every now & again clears the pipes so to speak. Reminds me of what really matters, makes the small things fun again. De-stress & all that.

I grew up in a world I hated and couldn't understand why. I wanted to kill myself for a long time because of the world I was in not necessary because I wanted to die.
Psychedelics showed me a point of view I could of never found in my abyss of torment. Now I love life.

I started about 4 years ago, right now I am 33. Where they say, the "The student can be his teacher´s Teacher" is a huge reality. I've been mentoring in spirituality a good friend for many years, until he introduced me to the mushrooms. At first, within my "spiritual awakening" I believed that shrooms were a cheap way to enhance spirituality and I was not happy with him about it. He shared with me material and evidence about the psychedelics in general. I was open minded enough to read through them and to realize that psychedelics were indeed a good thing and not a "cheap way up" if done right, of course.
Some time passed and I do not remember how, but I believe talking with my twin flame, probably asking her opinion about mushrooms as I was still doubting mine, she shared her knowledge about them and told me she could provide me with some. After talking with my wife about it and her being fine with me doing psychedelics, I got 3.5 grams from my twinflame. I tripped alone in a rocking chair at home. My wife was in another room watching TV. It was pretty amazing, not mind blowing but enough for me to learn that the mushroom had a lot of teachings for me. Sometime later, I got other shrooms from my twin, but they might´ve been a different grow because they lacked potency. I then had another mind blowing trip with my friend and two more friends of his. I started to grow after that and had more 5 gram trips... and well, that is the start.
I started three months ago to vaporize weed (this is with chronic pain removal intention) but of course, I do trip too. And I am sensitiive to weed, because while I do not trip as hard as I did on the first few times, I get a lot of insight and maybe, if I let myself go and I am alone, a level 2-3 trip. I vape morning and night, 0.20 grams each of different mostly Indica strains. I´ve been said here I am tripping a lot more than for the average tolerance build up. But I got amazing teachings from this plant, that for me is TOTALLY psychedelic (weed) and psychedelics are a significant part of my life, working in harmony with my other significant parts in life. I benefited my business thanks to this great insight, helped many people with this insight and improved my life dramatically (especially after removing the pain) That they are a part of my life. In fact, I am now heading into my next journey, to grow weed, with one of the main reasons is that the fucking Supreme Court of this country (spain) is giving a hard time to the Cannabis Clubs and Medical Dispensers and some are closing and others (mine) terrified having to give less and less amount to validate that all is smoked in the club (legal to grow, legal to consume privately, discriminalized if carried (ticket) and jail if selling.) but this is a red flag to stop lazing out and start growing...
But anyway, psychedelics are indeed powerful and totally harmless at a health level, but powerful enemies of "the rulers" as a whole population getting taught by these plants and not by a fucking TV would definitely ruin consumism and the slavery type of life we are having.

I used to mainly take mushrooms when I went to music festivals purely because I enjoyed them and the music was better. Then it kinda got to where I was having some really good ideas that would sort of stick with me for awhile. I started to notice I was a hair better then I was before. Then a hair better to people around me.
Then I got interested. Then I got fascinated, then I grew my own and enjoyed the trial and error of the process. Now things that I have read over the years are starting to make a little more sense then they used to. My family life is better, I have more respect for my parents and our relationship is better then it's ever been. It's all a journey and a process, but that's where I am now and I'm looking forward to where it's going.
