Lol, you guys are all talking about telling your parents....I have the opposite problem...I have two grown sons that don't know that I take mushrooms occasionally. They know I am into hunting them and I've told them I've found psych mushrooms but the conversation always stops there. I just try to feel the vibes and so far have not volunteered any more info than that.

On the other hand, I have a couple hippy step kids that I have tripped with along with their mother....they were raised in a completely different atmosphere.:mushroom2:

I've just been back home to see my old best friend from high school, with whom I first began experimenting with psychedelics, and my brother. I was excited to share with them the peace and discovery I've attained in the last 6 months through my psychedelic explorations.

My brother basically said that I'm a crazed drug addict and that I need help.

My friend, who is now a Marine, went on to explain how my experiences are just drug induced madness, and how the only real spiritual enlightenment can come from accepting Jesus Christ as my savior.

So, yeah.

I am thankful to have parents that love and accept me for who i am and encourage me to seek out my own experiences.
They think the way my beliefs manifest themselves through my actions everyday is much more important than what i believe specifically. This mostly applying to the topic of religion and spirituality. If i am compelled to love, accept, and include more people because of what i believe, that is what is most important.
For that reason, i tell them all about my psychedelic experiences.
I couldn't ask to be treated with more respect from my parents.

My friends know very well about my psychedelic usage. My family on the other hand, does not. My older sister suspects something of it, because my instagram page is full of psychedelic related posts but my parents have never mentioned anything about it to me. I hope to one day come out about it because I eventually want to make a psychedelic harm reduction youtube page but as of now, I'm not too sure how accepting they would be.

Were you firing crazy ideas that you've attained through psychedelics at them, or just saying that you have learned a lot from them? If they suddenly attacked you for your continued use of mind-expanding substances, and called your learning from them drug addiction, they'd totally be in the wrong and are examples of some of the people that one shouldn't tell that they use psychedelics to.

If you were explaining all kinds of theories and talking a bunch of nonsense, then maybe you should listen to their advice and cool it with the drugs.

Not that i have any reason to believe that they were right, or that you do have any sort of drug problem, but if two people very close to me, whom i began tripping with both told me that I'm being delusional and appear to have a drug problem, and am simply not being realistic as a result of my drug use, I'd definitely at least consider what they're saying and try to determine whether any of it is true or not. If i was totally confident that it wasn't, i would do my best to explain to them the reason that I believe what i do, and cite sources, or show them posts from the shroomery that display the amazing things psychedelics can do, and assure them that I don't take any harder drugs and only take the ones that i do do in moderation.

For the original question, i tell most friends of mine about it, just like if I'm describing a day i had while tripping, I'll tell them i did a certain thing that day while tripping, but I don't make too big of a deal about it unless their interested, or just to give them a bit of knowledge about it if they wanna know what it was like or how i acted or whatever. I wouldn't tell my parents or relatives or anything like that, cuz they'd never understand. Like one or two of my friends will actually say the same thing to me that LoneLobo's did to him, and says that I'm addicted and gonna move on to harder drugs, but I'm confident that that's not the case, and this friend is even fiercly anti-weed, so his opinion on the matter is extremely biased, and he refuses to listen to facts when i attempt to give them to him. If any of my other trusted friends were to say something similar, I'd definitely cut down on the psychedelics at least a bit in case they're right.

I did not explain to them any kinds of insane theories regarding mushrooms. I've learned my lesson on that front. I've tried to explain some of Terence McKenna's theories to non-shroomites before, and it's never gone well. It just sounds like crazy nonsense.

I should have explained... the last time my brother had seen me, I was in a deep state of intense depression due to a very ugly ending of a relationship. Quite truly a broken man. When I saw him, I explained to him how psilocybin had essentially brought me back from the edge of darkness, potentially death. That there was no other reason I stood before him at that moment in time - the psilocybin saved my life. He still thought I was crazy, but finally did admit that he was happy to see me doing so well, whatever I was doing to accomplish it.

I actually decided only a month or two back not to talk about psychedelics with anyone beside my tripping partner, who also happens to be my best friend. I had been on a kind of "psychedelic crusader" mode for a while, trying to spread the word to my other friends, but with absolutely zero results. In time, I found that it was alienating me from them.

It's just a subject that has been so devalued and blasted in the wrong light for so very long that people don't even want to think about it. It's like telling someone, "Yeah, I'm microdosing meth in a never-ending quest to find spirituality."

Wife doesn't know.
Brother and close friends know.
Parents, neighbors, and coworkers have valid suspicions.

Most are okay with it because I'm pretty level-headed guy and grounded in this shared reality.

"Wife doesn't know" ?

IMO it doesn't matter what it's about, if my life partner doesn't know something about me then that is a problem. Keeping secrets from my woman would make me sad. I certainly wouldn't want her to keep secrets from me.

Oh btw, have you guys seen my recent thread called: What can we do for Psychedelic Emancipation & Cultural Acceptance ?

The subject of these two threads is certainly related. I don't mean to divert from this very interesting thread we're in right now as there will maybe be some overlap between the two. But I do think the other thread raises some different points about the same issue.

If you think it's perhaps worth the read, then check it out plz. :hatsoff:


Love, H.

I would very much like to have an older family member of mine take psychedelics with me sometime, I think it could really benefit them.

Saw the vid below and really got me thinking about how much my mom could benefit from a shroom dose, who knows, maybe in the future things will work out.

yeah same, I would love my grandma to but I honestly think at a certain point when you haven't all your life and lived such a sober life that it would be kind of earth shattering in a scary way for them

Those who grew up getting drunk/stoned occasionally I feel like could really use the headspace to their own personal benefit as opposed to those like my grandma.... (but being sober like that is often just fine for them and you have to just understand that)

however, the lovely, empahsis on the lovely feeling and positivity you can get from psychedelics isn't for people who aren't completely comfortable with themselves ,ya know

sorry for the ramble, this is very specific to my experience but maybe some can relate
