Divulging psychedelic use to family members
    #23625088 - 09/08/16 08:42 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wondering if anyone has told their family members about their psychedelic use and how it went?

I ask because I've been thinking about sharing this information with my parents. My fam is pretty straight edge for the most part, but they're very open to new ideas. They know I'm very interested in psychedelics, mycology, pharmacology, and just science in general.

They ask me a lot of questions and always seem genuinely interested in what I have to say, so I'm always having cool conversations with them - whether it's about DMT, mushrooms, the benefits of psychedelics, the truth about weed, the scheduling of Kratom, etc.

They also know I'm not an idiot and that I research shit extensively. Health and fitness is also a passion and they know I'm not about to intentionally fuck up my body or mind.

I guess I just thought it would be cool to be able to tell them about my experiences. Psychedelics have helped me a lot and it sucks that there's such a stigma attached to them.

I'd love to one day be able to trip with my parents so they could experience it for themselves.

Anyway, just thought I'd see if anyone here has done this, or has any advice on how best to approach the subject.

I don't think they would understand or follow any personal growth you feel you may be gaining, or losing.  Well they may understand loss.  People are trained that drug use equals personal loss.

Never.

My dad asked me if I could source him mushrooms if he's about to die. We left it at that.

If you've already had "cool conversations with them - whether it's about DMT, mushrooms, the benefits of psychedelics, the truth about weed, the scheduling of Kratom, etc." They probably already know :shrug:

Ive had multiple conversations with all of my family members about it multiple times, and they are all aware of my use of psychedelics. Some of the time it would go swimmingly, other times taper off into fear and loathing. Most of the time I'd get the message across fairly well that the drug class is hugely shrouded in misconception and I take them to better myself. The results spoke for themselves, positively.

My parents know I use psychedelics and cannabis and realize that the use is, for the most part, responsible.

I'm trying to get involved with psychedelic research so it was gonna come up eventually.

I told my mom I was on LSD while I was on LSD  a couple months ago

At first she was like :awwhellno:

But then I explained to her that it's really not a hella bad drug like they make it out to be and she ended up being totally cool with it:shrug:

'twas a really good bonding experience actually, being on LSD allows me to thoroughly speak my mind and really elaborate on my thoughts so we cleared the air and ended up a lot closer after that conversation

opening up to my mom about my drug use (and the fact that i was growing mushrooms at the time) was an amazing turning point in our relationship, for the better. 

and she is a church-going, god-fearing, feeble-minded woman.  she still accepts me and loves me.  and i understood we could communicate about anything without negative emotions.  trust.


not saying someone else's family will be the same, just my situation.  also, my brother is the one who gave me the option to try mushrooms, with him, when i was 17 and he was ~21

I told my family years ago.

It was just another thing I did wrong in their eyes, they have never really voiced their opinion about my use of such things, but they have voiced their opinion about others using such things, and that was always in a negative manner so I assume they don't approve.

I have tried numerous times to talk to them about psychedelics, and how they shouldn't believe the things they see in movies about them, or see in the news, but I don't think I have ever gotten through.

Give your parents a little credit holy shit, I think if you're being truthful with what you're saying that they would need to be the type of people who wear helmets to bed to not have an idea about your drug use. Anyway it was always cool with me and my dad. All of it. We shared stories all the time. The best was after I told him about my times with MXE and he started telling me his PCP stories. Good times. Everyone who knows me on a slightly personal level knows I trip. I would not be me if I did not trip, it is my thing. People can take or leave it as far as I'm concerned.
