Yeah but the psychedelic scene was different back then even when it came to the "spiritual" aspect I feel. Idk it just seems qualitatively different to me now the spiritual connotations of psychs, and I wouldn't say the people these days are different on a fundamental level but I think people these days are definitely more "aware" and I've heard older people say this too. Could be the internet, could be something else I don't know because when I hear people's experiences from tripping back in the 60s and 70s and even 90s their general attitudes towards tripping just seems different, almost superficial in some sense.

Well the satisfaction, or, rather, contentedness aquired from LSD revelations is quite soothing, and I believe that the stress from a difficult come up on any psychedelic is quite brisk and good for you. The physical load is your body adapting to recognize LSD, Psilocybin or DMT as "nutrition" rather than poison. Acclimation to psychedelics has greatly increased my ability to handle stress and decreased my anxiety massively.
They're worth throwing your life away for, why do you think all those acid dealers get locked away forever over a non-profitable chem?

careful, you're treading into "virtue signaling" territory! ("we're more 'advanced' now, etc)
ain't nothing new under the sun and people aren't any different now than they were then
toodles, off to bed now. y'all enjoy your evening

No I don't think I am at all. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't hear multiple people from your generation say it as well. They're the ones who actually made me realize it because how else would I know? I obviously wasn't there.
Alex Grey himself said that people these days are more aware and he's just one of them. People are absolutely different these days.

I try to use trips to think through certain things, aspects of my life, to understand things, etc. etc. but I don't go in with a specific goal in mind or anything. It just happens naturally that I think about these things while tripping.

i really appreciate that we can have polite discourse on topics where we disagree. it hasn't always been that way.
all the best to you and yours!
