Is it all worth it? The general psychedelic experience...

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.

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.

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. 
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.

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

I first tried shrooms when i was seventeen, i did them for all that season and they were amazing beautiful trips, i loved them, and things in life did take a positve turn. Wouldn't change it for anything some of the best months of my life.
I then had a very long break over 10+ years, and now im back ^_^
Shroom trips are worth it, but like anything else i guess its all in moderation.... Too much of a good thing and all that

Only you can decide for yourself the answers to these questions. I can tell you what it's like for me, but these are very personal decisions and personal questions. It would be different for you.
I think that it is beyond worth it. The sheer amount of beauty in a psychedelic experience, the emotions, the incredible magnificence of the experience itself, I find these things priceless. I don't know if I would give them up for anything in the world. We often skip over just how beautiful and incredible the experience is, even if it doesn't "change your life." Going for a hike is beautiful and wonderful, and we don't expect anything more out of it. We need to start looking at psychedelics more like that. But of course, psychedelics do have the ability to change lives if you ask me.
But that's just me. You need to decide for yourself how you feel about it.

Life is such a trip OP, the only thing I got to do for years was trip, all I did was travel and trip and be a Bum, and then the whole psychedelic experience went away, I got a job, got sober, paid my taxes, wore a tie to work....got so normal I couldn't even imagine I would and could be this way, but hey nothing wrong in it 
Tripping comes and goes when it wants to, I thought I had control at least over when I could plan my trips, but no way its got a mind of its own, she comes my way when she wants to

these trips are not in the travel section of your newspaper. not consumer commodities. worth it is what a reviewer might say of a restaurant or a hotel or a boat tour.
I say not worth it, not worth it at all. this is a different interest.

Shrooms are something I believe everyone should take at least once in their life. For the simple reason you gave that it has ways to hit the reset button for things.
Psychs aren't going to change who you are OP. They intensify your strongest/weakest emotions and bring forth aspects of your personality you don't normally use every day. They might give you the foresight and opportunity to right a wrong and take that next big step in your life, but they won't change who you are. Only you can change who you are.
Your 18 and learning what it takes to become a man. Sure you think you know what it means to be a real man. But most young men stay young men until their 30s. They stay as perpetual 18-25 year old guys for a while. You will be in that crown for sure, there are very few who aren't. The question is do you think you'll need help becoming a man? You'd be a fool to say no. Maybe don't think of it in terms like that, but shrooms in particular have given me life lessons I will pass down to my children.
Shrooms for growth. Everything else for fun in moderation. That's my rule... responsibility lololyearight, but seriously don't overdo it.
Psyches are a venue for growing up. Truly, they are.

You might as well ask if breathing is worth it..... Its all pretty subjective. Psychedelics have incredible power to expand your thinking, but many people get too wrapped up in partying. Mixing it with alcohol is always bad IMO. Mixing it with cannabis varies. For me it always must be mixed with cannabis, especially LSD. For others, it makes it too intense. Life just doesn't come in a one-size-fits-all format. There are very few objective truths when you boil it all down, and psychedelics can help you clear your mind enough to see that, if you let them and are ready to handle it emotionally.

This question comes up every time I trip. Sometimes it's just pretty colors and fun, which is okay... I do credit my 1250μg +/- 100μg LSD trip with saving my life. I rarely go that far anymore, the Golden Teacher gives me information as she sees fit for me to handle. It's been four years since that LSD experience and I am still processing and integrating. By-and-large it's worth it.

Well yes it was an irrational pointless question to ask "is it worth it?", and I have come to understand the subject, but maybe my worry is possibly worsening negative emotions that are unfortunately dwelling through me, but I'd like to digress off the question.
Had one single square of hash brownies last night, I did misjudge the potency but heck it was amazing, not a single paranoid thought like I get when smoking, and I got the thought that a break would benefit myself a lot, I've got a lot more life in me then I really think.

Eating hash is always different than smoking, and smoking made me paranoid and led to a full stop a long time ago. But you will ALWAYS have negative emotions, tripping allows you to work through them effectively. Look at some of the work in psychedelic therapy that Stanislav Grof did for example.

I trip all the time, I don't know... it used to be more fun. I think I've pushed it too far though. I don't like drinking, really shouldn't drink at all anyways do to a health issue.
But yeah in 2015 I developed a medical condition that basically made my life suck. My body rejects food, lost weight, don't absorb calories or nutrients well..cost me a job that was already shit to begin with.. So now tripping feels different. I still do it, and sometimes it's great, but I don't regret any of my past experiences, I learn a lot from most of them.
Just seems like the world is descending into madness and when I trip now, it's hard to look away and pretend that everything is fine. Which is a lesson in itself, we do need to change, I need to change, but tripping really digs into it.

It is definitely possible to go too far "in" to the psychedelic mind as you call it and if you don't want it to happen to you then I would just recommend staying away from frequent heavy dosages. It's not like after a certain number of trips your brain just changes- you just have to let yourself totally recover between trips and you'll be fine. If you're only doing it a few times a year I think you should be fine. I altered my brain chemistry after 5 months of taking LSD every other week. I was fine til I started taking higher doses and then one day I took 300ug and my brain hasn't been the same. I'm not bugged by it and I still trip every other week but I can see how it might be bothersome to someone who isn't super dedicated to psychedelics. I hope this helps

LSD can change your chemistry and genetics much easier than psilocybin

Just a warning from sources I've had. Sorry but it's second-hand.
I prefer natural chems anyways.

Thats how "shrooms make your brain bleed" became so popular. Passing on information from the guy who started it without doing research.

I can't say how LSD actually makes the changes, but I can say from my experience that it's sort of like not coming all the way down from a trip. The LSD opened up some new neural pathways in my brain allowing for much more creativity and deeper thought patterns. When it first happened I was super anxious and my mind was constantly racing with annoying songs stuck looping in my head for hours at a time so I started meditating more regularly and the negative effects diminished and my mind feels much more clear. It's like the acid just let loose a bunch of psychological garbage and when I let it run it's course without medicating, it just faded after a couple months and now I'm just more creative and have deeper meditations and am more mindful of my own actions. And on top of that, I get visuals quite frequently. color enhancement, mild distortions and afterimages. Nothing I find distressful, but like a said earlier- if you're someone who isn't very invested in psychedelics, I would be cautiousQuote:

I have heard from so many people that "it makes your brain stem bleed", and these people STILL take it...... 5 minutes of research can show you that Hoffman took it a bunch and he was still brilliant even as a very old man. If I really believed that it made my nervous system "bleed", I would never have tried it. Amazing what myths are out there and what people will still do even believing them.

Nothing beats that time a kid came in here saying he was going to make LSD with just a pressure cooker, rye, and a sack of potatoes.

nothing like some home made needlepoint potato acid. I took that shit one time, Jerry Garcia gave it to me. He said Tim Leary made it in his acid pressure cooker. I tripped hard off just one hit. He told me it was a secret recipe
