Is it all worth it? The general psychedelic experience...
    #23412304 - 07/04/16 11:50 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Don't get me wrong, my life has changed for the better since having my first experience, but with other problems in my life it makes it hard to find time to have more experiences, being in fear of ruining my psychedelic voyage side of life, and really i'm a fairly infrequent user, few times a year at most. And more to the point, is it worth going deeper into the voyage, I've learn't a lot from psychedelics, in terms of the introspective side and self-reflection, but I feel as if I'm only going to fall too deep into the psychedelic mind, and I'm not looking to change my consciousness to deeply, and I've been pondering on coming back to it later on in my life, when I've got my life together, when I'm wiser I guess, I'm only 18 years young, and in my perspective I don't know enough to go deep into psychedelics, any opinions on my matter? Anything from the more experienced would be greatly acknowledged.

I voted monthly but its not really true. I go through "psychedelic phases" where I will trip frequently, then I take a few months off to integrate or just do other things with my time (I find tripping rather time consuming considering there is preparation, actual trip time and then I allow myself a whole day to rest and recover).

Few times a year, 15-20(but mostly 20+), the opposite of yes, which I think is no. I'll have to double check that.

I said yes for three but only if you do it too much.

For a while I ate 2-3.5g of shrooms a week and i would sometimes skip a week if i couldnt find the time to trip. My life changed for the better during some of those trips and i honestly beleive that mushrooms make you smarter if you use them properly. but one trip also scared the hell out of me because i realized some crazy stuff about life.  I took 3.5g that time and a few weeks later i took 2 grams because it was the last of my shrooms and i have taken LSA twice since.

but i have been taking a break because i feel like i need tolet my brain recover from the chaos of a shroom trip. I have been angry whenevr i am not high lately and i dont like it. Psychedelics might help if i tread lightly but i just want to wait it out for a while.  I have a half ounce of cubes that i will start eating when i feel like it. That may even be in a couple weeks if my mood improves.

I may try under 2 grams. 2 grams is the lowest dose i have taken but i have never not had effects so i think 1.5 might be decent, or maybe i will just take 2 grams. If that goes well then i will take 3-3.5g

Lately I've been dealing with the daily stresses of life, school, getting into university, dealing with family issues. It just makes it difficult to be comfortable with Psychedelics, causes a bit of ponder to go through my thoughts, like should I should I not, what will happen etc etc.

But I love it, changed my views on life greatly, but as I said I'm not taking the chances of turning to a psychotic case, I revere my mental and physical well being greatly, not keen on ruining it.

In all honesty it sounds like you have had a really good experience with psycs so far and have gained because of it. If you know within youself that you arent ready willing or able to go deeper and potentially lose yourself then quite simply you aren't ready and should wait.

This question that you ask yourself is a pivotal one that many never ask. One day you may find yourself ready but not through force.:freewilly:

I'm only asking advice, from the experienced, not "how to" do it, I know enough about it to make my own choices and what place psychedelic substance has in my life, but thought lately has lead me to pursue question.

I find psychedelic experiences are very relative to one's current state of mind.


If you aren't in a good place, or around good people, it can be a bad experience.

There's no reason in the world why you can't just set all drugs aside for a time and come back to it later on.  I had a three decade layoff during which I got an education, got married, had kids, watched them grow up and move out, retired from one profession only to start another - whose responsibilities are slight enough that I could return to tripping on occasion.

Honestly, a life with - or without - psychedelics is NOT that different if your focus is correct.  I'm fond of saying psychedelics should be the spice in your life, NOT the main meal.  All the other important things in life like work/career, personal relationships, health and education, should come first.  If that means setting them aside completely for a time, then do that.  Don't cling to a behavior that will compromise or jeopardize any important aspect of your life.

:hug:

Um... Whats wrong with sharing ideas and asking for opinions. OP is trying to minimize the risks of psychedelics. You are participating in this thread wrong.

I was about to reply, but I think the last question is too black and white.

Tripping can effect people in different ways. In my personal opinion, it's less likely to have a negative effect than a positive with the majority of the population.

However, there will always be outliers. There is a potential for negative effects. Personal physiology will always play a part to some degree, and I think anyone on this forum would agree that psychs are not right for everyone.

Of course it is.  OP has an entire lifetime to benefit from psychedelic use.  Some people actually do that, you know. :wink: :Awemush:

Nothing wrong with the advice so far.  I've taken breaks of up to a decade, and I've done mushrooms multiple times a week for months on end, and right now I'm on a couple year break.

When the time is right to trip you know, when it isn't you know, and either way it's good.  :thumbup:

I feel like as long as you're not constantly upping your dose day by day, you can trip as frequently as you would like. Everyone needs to understand the workings of their own mind and the fact that tripping several days in a row will leave you drained without proper supplementation and sleep. Trips are trips and they can expand your mind or cripple your existence, the entire experience is entirely worth it though.

My first shroom experience was by chance in Thailand. Met some hippies and tripped in 09'.

The experience was so beautiful and memorable I never felt the need to repeat. I didn't want that nice memory erased by a bad one.

This year out of nowhere I had a "calling". Strong desire to trip again. I think where I had such a hard year with depression and PTSD, then I saw the studies that suggested it could benefit people like me I felt a strong urge.

Turns out trips don't erase previous trips. If something is memorable you won't forget it just because you tripped again.

I'd say tripping is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. The experience is well worth it, at least once. Especially shrooms. Very spiritual and medicinal.

You'd be amazed at how western civilisation blinds you and crowds your mind with such shit. Shrooms hit the reset button and refresh you like a little baby. It's worth it.


--------------------
My Psychedelic experiences:
LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time.
Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g)
DMT - 5 times (Powerful breakthrough only once)

Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

Different experience for different people.

I'd say personally it's the best experiences I have ever had.
