Do you guys tell your family and friends that you take psychedelics?

I met a good friend today. And she said I have changed but she can't tell what exactly. For a split second I wanted to tell her about these wonderful shrooms. But I didn't. You know in the community I grew up I don't think these people would understand even if you explain it to them. Just mentioning the word "drugs" will scare the shit out of them. I could even imagine somebody calling the cops. haha So nobody knows.
What about you guys. Are your family and friends okay with you taking psychedelics?

Yeah ive told my parents and have tried to explain to them countless times that theyre not hurting me in any way. Theyve come to accept the fact that i do psychs and am passionate about them, but i dont think they will ever be completely convinced that theyre safe.
Also you stole the creators avatar...be careful lol

Yes. They don't care as long as I'm not in danger.
They do worry about my mental health when it comes to tripping. But they know shrooms a few times a year isn't going to hurt me.

Yeah I do them with my wife and cousin pretty regularly... the rest of my family is aware that I'm a big proponent of psychs and cannabis (even though I don't smoke anymore)

I tell everyone but my parents. They are old school and are closed minded. My mom found a bag of 2cc and some shrooms and i told her she wasn't ready to know what they were. I also lied and told her that since im a minority it is legal for me cause of native american and native mexican religions lol

yes, pretty much everyone I know, knows for the most part my father knows, my sister, my mother dead but she knew. as for them expecting it thats, totally different. my father gets it & sees the benefits of them, my sister not so much as she kinda a hard drug user...as for my mother who has passed, nope hated them and saw them as to be evil... but yeah there tools for self examination & deppending on the drug and set & setting just a fun time.

I was selling drugs since I was 15. (Not Anymore) My parents have seen so many drugs in my room. But I was always responsible, got good grades and was smart with my money. They were never worried about me, and plus both of them have had their times with drugs, especially my dad.
But they are both alcoholics.
My parents are cool and I even indulge in smoking weed with them occasionally whenever I am around them. (They live on different coasts)
So, basically, psych's are the least of their worries and I am extremely open with them about my lifestyle.
How else would a 19 year old (At that time) be looking at cadillacs on the lot, but they never asked any questions, they knew what was up. I have mad cool parents.

I have told both my mother she will never think its anything but a drug we take to just get fried on. She never was big into any drugs when she was younger shes smoked weed a couple times when she was young and got paranoid on it everytime she smoked so she never really gave it to many chances, shes just a drinker not a everyday drinker but when she drinks she binge drinks and can be very irritating at times. She accepts the fact that I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do but Its best I don't tell her about my experiences cause if I started going on about dosing she will just tune me out and not listen to me and get mad about it she thinks I should be over the LSD use since I'm older and she thinks that I should have outgrown taking mushrooms and L when I was in highschool or in my early 20's.

i only tell my very close friends but when i was younger i used to want to tell/educate everyone about their potential healing benefits but you get 90% judgement and it's just not worth getting a bad reputation, thats why I love the shroomery, everyone is already into psychs for the most part, they just aren't for everyone and that was hard for me to wrap my head around
and for my fam. they know but just want me to be careful about my use

My mom used to be a big anti drug nazi until I went on methadone and began recovering from opiate addiction. She knows very little about my psychedelic use besides the fact that I have used them before.
She still things psychedelics will make you go insane and just doing them once will cause flashbacks.
All of my friends know I absolutely love shrooms and don't give a shit about other drugs because psychedelics are just do damn great. I have a couple friends who I trip with and my younger brother wants to trip with me next time I get shrooms, or grow them. Whichever happens first (I received the spores earlier this week )

I agree 100% now adays I only bother telling friends most people are to closed minded to even grasp what we are trying to show them. A lot of those people that are like that aren't people mentally built for the psychedelic experience. Its takes a certain person to really appreciate the experience imo.

I'm living at home with my mom while I'm finding my own place and she doesn't even know what "magic mushrooms"are. I show her my SGFC and she loves looking at my shrooms. She even asks me how they're doing sometimes (she's a gardener). I'll make tea right in the kitchen while she's making dinner. It's so funny. I tell her they're a homeopathic cure for anxiety and insomnia and have been used for thousands of years. Yesterday she came back from Kroger and told me "they have lots of different kinds of mushrooms at Kroger so why grow your own? " I just laughed. I'll be FUBAR-ed sometimes and she'll say "you're acting weird, you must have eaten some of those mushrooms". Besides her though I tell absolutely no-one except people I know who actually eat them themselves-that's it. period.

My parents hate every drug. Weed, everything. But they are also alcoholics. Some family know, some are better off not knowing. Same with friends, but most of the people I consider friends trip as much as I do.

Family is one thing but if you can't even tell your friends that you trip then they're not your friends. Why would anyone not tell their friends?

Fuck it I would tell everyone. They can go ahead and think I'm crazy I really don't give a fuck because if they think I'm nuts then that just proves how infantile they are.
I'd be like "thanks guys for proving you're uneducated cunts now I'm gonna go trip"...
I'm not very nice to people who are ignorant about psychedelics I tend to ridicule the shit out of them to the point of embarrassment. I have no filter. In my eyes beating around the bush about psychedelics or hiding your use of them is a crime against humanity.
If you hide your stash then you're doing the man's work for him.

@AuroraBorealis88
Totally agree. I would really love to tell them.
But you know, people here aren't that open minded about stuff like that. I remember when I was younger one guy got arrested because he grew weed and other stuff in their house. It would be pretty bad if you had to spend some time in jail.....
(btw i just visit my family here. maybe when i get back i can find somebody to share my story )

My family and friends know I do mushrooms. I even got my dad helping me pick liberty caps over the park last year lol. If people don't like me doing psychedelics, that's their problem. I live alone so I'm certainly not affecting anyone else with it.

I can't tell you the country. But it is somewhere in europe 
Actually I don't know what happened to him after that. Never heard from him again and nobody talks about it. So I guess he moved or still in jail ??

I kept my tripping secret from my parents until about 20 years after I moved out. One day when were were visiting with them somehow the topic came up and I spilled the beans.
They told me that they had no idea, except my dad told me something funny. We had a set of Encyclopedia Britanica. They spent a fortune on those books but they didn't get much use. He said that one time he was looking something up and he noticed the volume that covered "L" had some frayed pages with folded corners- the pages that covered LSD. I said guilty as charged - In my late teens I was looking up everything psychedelic that I could think of, and I always ended up browsing the LSD article. It was long - tons of info.

That's funny but true; once you discover psychedelics, it becomes the topic of countless hours of personal research

I've recently been thinking how my parents would take the news. As much as I'd explain to them the reasons of how amazing these little shrooms are, I think they'd still see it as "drug taking" Until they've experienced a trip for themselves they won't understand.

My family knows. But we don't talk about it.
Until my dad says some weird shit like he always does where we'll be sitting in a restaurant or someplace and he'll say something like "Wouldn't this place look really weird if we were on some kind of Pychedelic drug?"
And I'm just like "Ummm... Yeah.... Umm..."
What am I supposed to say? "Yeah man next time we go eat out let's make a dent in my stash of shrooms you know I have in my room and have a ball."

Seems like a relaxed atmosphere you've got there.
Not worried she might one day associate your "homeopathics" with more general scare stories about drugs?
I only tell open minded people. That's not the majority of family and friends.
I compare it with that guy I once knew he was obsessed with kinky sex. He told everyone all the time, and antagonized many. There's nothing wrong with kinky sex, but IMO there's no need to antagonize anyone either.
Same with drugs. Only tell those who would enjoy hearing about it.

No. My family does know I am "into" drugs, and they know I don't really do many anymore beside a few safe ones (occasional weed, occasional alcohol, etc), so they don't really ask or worry.
As for friends, the only ones I knew that were into drugs weren't really into psychedelics, so I never brought that up. We did discuss weed, opiates, benzos, stimulants and others like that though.

My mum and brothers know I have tried acid and shrooms at least a few times, but don't know the extent of it. To the best of my knowledge, dad doesn't know.
I trip with my cousin occasionally, and with my partner when we are together (we are ultra-long distance). I've occasionally discussed psychedelic use with my uncle, who has had his share of experiences as well.

I didnt tell my parents, but they found my mushrooms and dad took my LSD once, so they know. Its not like they really have a choice in what i do. Doesnt mean they approve. I tell my close friends, but friends of friends is where i cut the line off. Dont want random people knowing my business.

My family and closest friends know vaguely that I have used psychedelics before. I keep it very much on the down low, I don't really bring it up, but they are aware that I have used psychedelics.
It's an intensely personal decision no matter what you decide. Part of what influenced me was just that I wanted to live in a world where you don't need to hide this stuff, and I have my own place and my own life, and I believe in it, so why not admit it? Admitting it is stupid, but nothing will ever change unless people start admitting to using psychedelics and talking about it.
Also, I just felt as if there was no reason to hide it anymore. It's reckless, but sometimes I do reckless things. I just felt as though there was no reason to live a lie.
Anyway, everything's worked out fine for me. Now my family knows and doesn't care and it's old news. Everything is totally normal and no one even brings it up

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.

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" ?
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. 
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

I remember telling my mom about it... She had a gram bag of 2cc and a quarter g bag of mushrooms and asked me what the brown lumpy things that look like mushrooms and the cocaine powder were. That was hard man. Like
Well mom its stuff that makes me feel very spiritual and shit like that. She dont get it. I made comparisons to the blood of Christ and the flesh of the gods, and how it was like my religious sacrament and how it was very important and made me a better person. She just dont get it man

My Mom had always been on the rule of " I know you use, I don't care that you do aslong you arnt getting arrested or hurting your self or anyone. But we just don't need to talk about it and act like I don't know." she told me that at 17, I'm 30 now and everything is cool. We both have a mutual understanding.

I don't go around advertising anything like that. People who don't take them do not understand. Your friends who don't won't understand. Parents usually don't either.
I'd rather the conversation randomly sprout up and blow their fucking mind. My friends who know I do, know I'm the guy to come to for as a listening ear or advice on drugs and life or someone who won't sugarcoat their opinion on a subject.

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.

I would really like to tell her the matter of what, why, when, where and how. . . but, at this point in the marriage, when the handwriting is on the wall, it's in my best interest to avoid speaking openly about those details. Just know, as many say, "It's complicated." It's very complicated.

I just can't imagine being close to someone who is ignorant or not open to psychedelics. I wouldn't want someone that close minded in my life. I mean these things are miracles.

Close being the key word. In heart, mind, and body --- no. Currently under the same roof --- yes.

You just gotta remember how slandered Psychedelics are by society, though.
Although with the history of Musicians or artists and so on who have used Psychedelics, I think that if you have common sense, you would at least in the back of your mind know that "Maybe there's something to these things".
But you can't really fault people to harshly for not being open to them. I mean it's like 95% of the reason they don't learn about Psychedelics is from Cultural Brainwashing and 5% of the reason they don't learn is lack of curiosity and intellectual/spiritual courage.

Is she spiritually-minded at all?
There was a conversation on another thread recently about this.
If she is, or even if she isn't, maybe you could talk about spiritual and deep philosophical ideas with her? Not necessarily related to Psychedelics.
Then eventually bring Psychedelic drugs up later in a way that relates to what you guys talk about? That seems like it would be a good way to do it.

I don't fault people, because I know everyone starts out as ignorant towards them but I try to convert all the people in my immediate life especially my significant other because there's no room in my life for people who aren't open to psychedelics. If I explain to them the benefits and all the up sides and they're still not open minded then I really want nothing to do with that person.

Narrowly spiritually minded.
She strongly believes drug use, even responsible and moderate, is not of God. And if it's not of God, then it's of the devil. And if it's of the devil, then I'm deceived. And if I'm deceived, then my salvation and going to heaven is in jeopardy.

We've been there for years, with much disagreement and contention. When those subjects come up, I speak very lightly. And when I sense the familiar unfolding, I listen, but often remain silent. . . literally biting my lips. For peace in our home, and the security of our son's heart and mind, this is what I feel is necessary to do at this time.
Thanks for sharing input with concern, I appreciate it.

You're probably right! I had some drinks with my family and thought it would be a good idea to tell them I was going to have some magic truffles this weekend. The morning after I was really regretting this but I found out that I actually left the word 'magic' out and now they're thinking I'm going to make a delicate dish. I'll just leave it like this, that's probably the best

My Mother knew about my LSD and Mushroom use, I even got her to go on a mushroom trip twice, hell even my Dad once at a low dose - Besides that me, my brother, and my Dad dabbed out every night after work basically - my Mother let me have total freedom and even knowingly let my drugs come to the house, she knew I was selling LSD, even let me grow my own Mushrooms and turn my old bedroom into a Marijuana grow operation, though we were legal for that. It probably helped she lived through the hippie era and has already done it all. Though I didn't start any drugs until after 18, even marijuana I didn't know it could be so wonderful to have such a loving open family! Blessed, as I know some kids wish they could have grown up this way!
Can't say I turned out too bad, moved out at 21 but still have my grow op at her house because I don't have the space, she'll retire soon and she wants to get into growing as well.

That is beyond lucky. Jeeze. It's so weird how growing up as a kid I just figured that every parent on the planet hated Marijuana/Psychedelics/Etc...
Then I grow up and most of my friends' parents smoke pot and couldn't care less or even support their Psychedelic drug use.
Why meeee?? Oh well. At least mine know and haven't tried to put me in prison.

Yes. I make mush/lsd available to my parents/friends/aunts/uncles.
Sometimes it may be risky but I doubt it, I offer stories about my breakthroughs and visions and often people lean in to hear and ask many questions and good conversation follows.
Some may take one puff of a joint if I'm out on the porch at a family event but quickly pass it back when others come around. Someone coming out would say something like "I think I smelled a skunk somewhere" when they obviously know.
Like a wink/nod. Mostly say maybe more when I retire. "I have grown up things to do" I'm like oh ok have your fun with beer and wine. . .

Everyone from both sets of grandparents to my step dad and mom to my dad and his fiance..Everytime they start bitching about it I tell them I understand the substances and don't really care what they have to say about them being dangerous when I can prove the contrary. My parents all smoke weed and have all done mushrooms at one point or another.
