From years 1-2 with LSD I had trip night which was always heaven From years 3-4 with LSD I still tripped but the magic was gone and it was more of a guilt trip like you said From years 5-6 (currently) I can't really trip anymore because a trip consists of basically a 6 hour long panic attack where I come out mentally and/or physically hurt.
It was very similar for me. I let a good 25 years pass in which I tripped maybe 3 times and they were all great. Got back into psychedelics a couple years ago and grew shrooms. Now I do low-doses a couple times each month and a big trip maybe once a year. No more LSD for me - I have no way to get it and I don't want to take something that keeps me awake for 14 hours.

I cant sit around and trip... i have to be doing something... Last time i ate mushrooms, i was drunk, and decided that the drinking was not quite giving me the right buzz so i decided to eat some mushrooms just spontaneously rit there on the spot. Within a couple of minutes of eating them i actually had realised what i had done and i was in for one hell of a ride!!!
Straight away i was like, oh shit i need somebody to get me out of the house... IM GONA GO CRAZY IN HERE!!!! so my mate picked me up and proceded to have a great night... always moving.... A constant change of perspective keeps things rolling nicely for me...

Psychedelics aren't consistent enough in their effects to really "chase the dragon." I don't go into any of my psychedelic experiences looking for a single specific experience. I do them because it's always a beautiful, wonderful, amazing experience no matter what it's like. It's not really about looking for something or some kind of feeling.
Using less frequently is more responsible, and a better experience. You don't lose the magic that way.

Bigfeely123 said: ...When I was tripping during this time period I would have what I thought were amazing ideas and revelations. The thought that frequently came up during my trips were, "I wish I could always think like this" because I felt so smart and felt as if I could solve any question or dilemma I had that came to me in my head at the time of tripping.
Nowadays pretty much every time I do a psychedelic (even weed sometimes) it puts me on one big guilt trip. My mind is kicking my ass hard with thoughts of things I know I should or feel like I should be doing in my life now. Or things that I wish were different in my life but I have no control over. When I'm sober again I don't feel "reset". I feel like I have a bigger burden on me than before the trip because now I have all the thoughts in my mind that was said to me during the trip.
Psychedelics usually bring to the surface what's going on deep inside. It's no wonder that when you felt more carefree in life you were having more magical trips and positive vibes. If you're feeling lighthearted and chilled that will be the overall rhythm of the trip. When there's heavier things at stake, they will come to light. It can actually be helpful.
I know how you feel on this because I have these kinda trips sometimes. But you gotta remember psychs are a powerful tool, if used that way. Maybe in your current trips where you feel guilt for not doing things differently, you're trying to send a message to yourself: change it up!
So I'm not sure the magic is missing from your tabs, but maybe from your thinking cap. Know what I'm sayin? You're not describing loss of magic as in "my visuals aren't strong bro"...but more like "my trips are telling me stuff I don't wanna hear". In your trips, the hardest thing you'll ever have to face, is yourself. That one fucker you can't lie to, but you can die tryin.
Whatever it is you feel you should be doing, and aren't...for BigFeelysake do it! Because when you're older, you won't need acid to tell you that you missed out.

ya, my first lsd and first shrooms trips were amazing and blissful, literally every trip after (14 or so) has been uncomfortable, disappointing, a waste of time, sometimes hellish, and of questionable value
maybe the problem is with me I dunno, but I sure am chasing those first glimpses, stuff like this makes me question the worth of psychedelics, and when I see myself falling into repeating common rhetoric I wonder how many others actually feel this disappointment deep down
doesn't help I never have many visuals either

Universal, It's good to hear from you man. Everything you said sounds spot on. This line especially seems to be what has happened, "I'm not sure the magic is missing from your tabs, but maybe your thinking cap". The past year and a half or so has been the lowest point of my life. I guess it had to come to this eventually though. By that I mean... The way I had been living & thinking before-not thinking about my future, always being stoned/high or "up" all the time, not being too concerned about anything in life really. It all has to come down eventually and reality sets in deep. Life, the longest rollercoaster ride ever.

True words man. It sure does flow.
Great to see ya too man. Im sorry to hear about your rough past year tho. At least youre on top of it ready to make your next year much better.
As you said about the roller coaster, theres the ups and downs. If its any positive vibe for ya, youre coming up on a rise now! Great things to come your way. Its a great chance to be heroic and susprise yourself at the gangsta you really are. Anything that comes your way...be bold my friend.

I trip at least once a week. I'm chasing something I guess. More trippiness from my trips. Deeper trips. And to remember what I did in my trips

Been tripping since the age of 14, but I only did it once at that age and then again at 19, then sporadically till now. I get scared/anxious before every trip. I also only trip a few to one time a year. The only time I tripped a lot, like every week was around mid 20's, I knew an acid dealer and he had a warehouse apt set up with an 18 piece drumset and amps etc, many a lost tape on those nights. I still "have the magic". Same with MDMA, started at 19yo, I am 51 now.
I never over indulge TOO much, lol. I don't have time to trip much these days, about to be an RN, I am compiling a stash that I will have until my 70's or more. I don't take huge amounts either, never have taken more than 3 hits at a time/night, but it was more potent in the 80's/90's it seems. I need to stock up on this burst of good L and MDMA. I do tend to roll about 1-4 times a month if I have a stock of M. I can save stuff for months and years now. I used to do it within hours or a week at the most if I bought it back in the day. set and setting are key to anything I do.

Hello. While being a registered nurse you still have time and the ability to trip, roll, smoke weed? I was under the impression that they drug tested. Thanks for the reply. Have a good day.

I don't have my license YET. I am taking a refresher course to qualify to take the state boards again, my time limit to take it ran out. I did get my LPN license a couple years ago but never used it and it lapsed. This course I am taking will reinstate my LPN and allow me to test for the RN again for 2 more years. The state boards are the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life! I have the degree, I just need the license. I have met OR nurses and they were on LSD at a party in new orleans, they told me they smoke and trip almost whenever they feel like it. I won't do that.
I am scared of smoking more than tripping, rolling etc...though. I am quitting everything for a year to really concentrate on learning the job when I begin working. I'll go from there on when and if I choose to inebriate with things other than alcohol (which I don't really do). I might drink once every week or 2. I would rather smoke, and I only smoke lightly. A 1/4 can last me a month or so. I'll be done with my course by mid Nov. or sooner. Halloween is my last big party/smoking/tripping/rolling night for a while.

trying to replicate a trip will only lead to disappoint in my opinion. If you've been tripping in the same environment these past times where you've had bad trips, maybe try and change the scenery.
I love camping and tripping, it's a wonder and makes the occasion feel a bit more special too. But I think when you trip it's best to go with no expectations and to let the trip happen.

I just want it to be a good trip/good high like how it used to be, which is what I think everyone wants when they do any drug. I'm not trying to find an answer to my problems or look for specific visuals, etc. I don't know when I'll trip next. It may be for a while but I'm going to do something I haven't done and even at one point probably would've looked down on doing because of the whole "go with the flow" thing. I'm going to make a list of activities that I want to do during my trip. Whats been happening is... I'll start to trip, things are going okay for a little bit, then I'll get overwhelmed with my thoughts so I wind up getting stuck inside my mind the entire time.

I think this is a solid plan. Have you ever considered watching a trippy movie to help keep you in the right headspace? I know a lot of people say that it's a waste of a trip by watching movies but this is one of my favorite things to do when I'm tripping balls.
You would need to choose which movie wisely though otherwise it'll be too difficult to follow.
A few of my favorites...
Mad Max: Fury Road 2001 Space Odyssey (not easy to follow but such a fun trip movie) Fear and Loathing (some of it gets a little dark at times for a trip but I actually like a little of that while tripping) Speed Racer The Movie 300 Sin City Lord Of The Rings

I tend to watch at least one movie when I trip. I've heard it too but I don't know why anyone would think that watching a movie while tripping is a waste. You pick up on so many little details and other things going on that you usually don't notice or care to think any further about. I've watched some movies and thought, "this movie was made for tripping." or "whoever made this movie must trip." shit like that haha. Some movies I've watched while tripping that I really enjoyed would be Ferries Bueller's Day Off, SLC Punk, Fight Club, Glory Daze, and Analyze This. I also used to watch that 70's show a lot when I tripped. I got to season 5 but it started to get really stupid. 
What is Sin City about? I remember seeing that at Blockbuster years ago.

The ones you listed above I'm not sure I would really appreciate that much (except for fight club) during tripping but to each his own.
Sin City... Crime thriller noir flick. It's a good movie and SUPER VISUALLY STIMULATING and FUN to watch. When I trip I need a movie that fits into either of those two categories or one that is just "trippy" like fear and loathing for example.
Here's the trailer... www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Dj6ktPU5c
And sometimes movies I would hate normally I love when tripping. Speed Racer might be one of the gayest movies ever but it's incredible during the trip. Fun and the visuals/colors are amazing.
Here's a shit ton more options for you... https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6072955
