What aspect of the psychedelic experience are you most grateful for? * 2
    #26349412 - 11/27/19 07:29 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

i have come to the realization that i just hate tripping with people. even if its LSD. I am literally my own best friend. Theres nothing better than just being with yourself, with your sense of humor, your thoughts, your intentions,  your heart..etc while tripping. There is nobody to distract you from going on long thought journeys only to end up on the other side laughing your ass off because of how silly you are. Theres no distraction, just the best person in the world. You. I love me. I love you. But as individuals. Together we are not fully ourselves. Everyone can pretend they dont have an ego or they dont change in the presence of someone else, but you do. My best friend is myself. It will always be myself. I hope your best friend is yourself, too. Born alone, die alone. I am grateful that i have my sense of humor and i don't need to live with anyone else's. I am grateful for my fears and that i dont have anyone else's fears. I am grateful for everyone that has helped make me who i am. I am grateful that i am not afraid to be alone. i am grateful to experience psychedelics in the depths of solitude. I am grateful for the ability to appreciate being by myself while tripping.

What are you grateful for?

I'm grateful for the friends I've made here at the Shroomery, grateful for the times folks have stepped in to calm me down and hold my hand in real time when a trip went south, and for the first hand knowledge that genuinely reliable people share that safely enhances my psychedelic experiences when trying out new substances or new combinations.

I’m most grateful to live in a place where magic mush grow wild. The best things in life are free.

I envy the people who live in the PNW it seems like they are literally tripping over actives everywhere they go. I got a buddy that owns a telecommunications company  with a vacant house out there maybe I can get him to let me rent it during the mushroom season

i'm much more of a solo tripper myself and am thankful for the tools psychedelics provide to help navigate my mind. i'm thankful for the relief of anxiety and depression. I don't know how but it's helped immensely with addiction issues. I'm thankful i've found something that helps me enjoy everyday life, has improved my connection with the world, and really allowed me to open myself up to people i'm close to.

if i were to trip with someone, it would be for their benefit, not mine. For instance if me tripping with someone would help them overcome their anxiety of tripping, of course i will take one for the team. But when i am at my best bill oreilly, i am straight chillin. just me and the drug. if its lsd i am taking, i enjoy watching TV such as a big sports game or 60 minutes. I also love watching new south park episodes i havent seen on LSD. i have this whole damn season i havent watched and when i take LSD next i am going to binge watch them and laugh my ass off.

I like this idea Bill. :awesome:

What am I thankful for with the psychedelic experience? Wow, so much. Definitely agree on being your personal best friend. I definitely understand that. You can be yourself when you're tripping by yourself.

For the psychedelic experience, the feeling of awwww and surrealness, the sense of being connected to Nature, the Stars, other People. The beautiful visual effects on my vision, internal CEV visions, the trippy music-like sounds I hear, being connected to myself and understanding myself better, the unique way it makes me connect with other people, having a moment of unforgettable "Divine Beauty".

Psychedelics are one of the things in the world I am really thankful for. And music, movies, Video Games. Friends too. The top Five really.

Im also thankful for being able to grow my own mushrooms thanks to the knowledgeable people at the Shroomery. Thanks Mushroom Cultivation. Also the Mushroom Hunting forum for giving me the information to hunt cool wild psychedelic mushrooms. This priceless knowledge is what Im thankful for. :mushroom2:

Ive put my trust into psychedelics, to not abuse them, to treat them with respect but also to have fun with them.

They have it all. And its a beautiful thing. And Im lucky to experience them. :lsd: :mushroom2: :sanpedro: :atom: :trippinbawelz:

The answers to problems that plagued me my entire life.

Also inspiration, insight, the incredible wonderful beautiful I've seen and experienced. Mind expansion, returning to childhood, reexperiencing memories, connecting the past and present, enhanced intelligence (on LSD), hallucinated statues, columns and other marble work, hallucinated fields of sky, fun... I would really probably just list everything about the psychedelic experience I guess. But at the very top of my list is problem solving followed by inspiration.

Oh, also being shown what I should do with my life. That's actually probably #2 and inspiration is #3.

huge fan of south park and futurama on lsd, I was re-introduced to psychedelics through a close friend of mine and enjoy the bonding experience. we also do alot of hiking and kayaking together and consume moderate doses of mushrooms on those adventures. but other than him and his wife who are closer to me than my own family, i've never tripped with anyone else(except other people who were tripping at concerts). i've made plans to trip with a few other friends, but I always found a reason to bail, and ended up soloing it instead. I also kind of fear being judged a bit too. I've mentioned a few of my trips to people who have wanted to trip with me and they were pretty much like "you're going to turn into a glass of orange juice" which kinda turned me off of talking about psychedelics with people, and a huge reason I finally created an account here after lurking for ages.

video games are great on LSD. i love killing bitches in halo while tripping. i used to trip with friends in my younger days..say 16-19 yrs old but then they kind of started drinking and going to bars and i was all like "go do you, ima do me" and then i developed a true love for the freedom that tripping by yourself gives. also, the learning. i never even thought about psychedelics as a learning experience until i started tripping alone. im almost thankful my trip buddies moved onto alcohol.

good stuff, LC. i can relate

The ability to simultaneously step outside of myself and rediscover myself. The depth of self-reflection they grant is invaluable and the lessons learned in those states can carry over to everyday life. They harmonize me in a way that is beneficial, eye opening, a source of equanimity, joy and insight I doubt I would have had, otherwise. In a way, they made me grow up.

i dont like tripping with other people because i care about them too much. im always worried if they arnt having fun or if they are having a bad trip or something. a weakness of mine is always trying to make other people comfortable, even if it makes me uncomfortable. that is why tripping alone is just such a huge "ahhh yes" type of thing. i can sit back and say fuck the world for a few hours. if i dont hold a door for someone accidentally and they give me a dirty look, it will bother me for hours. im weird like that.

Yes! the learning! I totally know what you mean. Its almost like you learn how to trip. Over time, you get better and better at it like all things where you start to feel really comfortable tripping. Its a really special thing. Learning is fun, especially while tripping and learning the psychedelic experience just that much more.

I still play Halo 5 myself. Its one of my favorite games growing up tripping on my first weed experiences. Wild times. The trippy worlds, the sci-fi weapons, the crazy action, I love it all and it goes well with psychedelics for sure.

The introspection is one of the most helpful aspects of psychedelics. Like nooneman mentioned, it can help you solve problems in your life if you reflect on the experience in the moment. Its a special feeling to make those revelations while in the expanded mind of Psychedelics. Its a spiritual experience for me. Unforgettable. Ive had similar experiences on other non-psychedelic drugs, but its not the same. Psychedelics give the full spiritual experience. A true gift from Nature and human ingenuity .

its almost like tripping became a girlfriend i visit occasionally. shes always there for me to tell me what i need to do in life, make me laugh, encourage me, have fun..etc. we love chillin together.

cool story...one night in my halo prime for xbox 360..i came home one night after sniffing coke for a few hours. i almost broke the fucking game. first it was like "double kill!" "triple kill!" "killing spree!" "killing frenzy!" "running riot!" "rampage!" then it went to "UNTOUCHABLE!" i was like oooohhh my godddd what did i just do??? my teammates were all freaking out and shit...it was truly a sight to behold.

:lol: I was expecting some kind of psychedelic drug involvement there in that story! :awesome: Also crazy we both enjoy psychedelics and Halo. A sort of rare connection :yesnod:

For me, it feels like Im visiting a alternative version of myself? A "better" version of myself if you will. Like a best friend is yourself but enhanced to a new level.

Another thing I am grateful for with psychedelics is the uniqueness of them all. LSD, Shrooms, Mescaline, Marijuana, DMT, even salvia all have their unique psychedelic experience that is unique but similar to themselves. There is so much variety within the psychedelic experience. Take your pick and enjoy those specific effects. Thank you psychedelics.

yeah, no psychs in that story. just dirty ol cocaine :lol:

i feel that way also, like a better more knowledgeable you from the future has come down to show you whats truly going on. thats how LSD is, anyway. the psychedelic girlfriend is more of a mushroom/dmt thing.

i also love the uniqueness of them all. i also love their similarities. im glad lsd feels a little like mushrooms rather than feeling like some shitty deleriant like. Thank you psychedelics is right. When nobody else ever cared, they always did.

Yeah, I get that "enhanced self" on shrooms and LSD. On shrooms, I definitely feel like a "gentle female" sort of theme, like a female guiding force, showing me the way almost. Female spirit guide almost, especially African Transkei. Something special about that strain.

On smoked DMT, I get more of an alien sort of feel to it. An other-worldly feel. Like shrooms but much weirder in "Psychedelic Spirit Force". Very interesting substance. I think DMT was made by aliens. Would explain why the experience is so other-worldly.

Psychedelics have never steered me wrong. A couple traumatic experiences but overall, very beneficial to my life in many ways.

One time on acid I was playing super smash bros, and idk how, it never happened again, but it was literally like I could predict every move my 2 other friends were about to make, I'm not even that good but I totally just got into a "flow" of sorts and It became effortless to demolish them that entire game. They seriously did not land a single move on me. Really wish I could do that again lol.

But for real my favorite part of psychedelics has already been said, to be able to learn about myself, feels like an intimate relationship with my higher self. I gain so much insight into the nature of what being a human is, how we are all flawed and nobody is perfect. Loosens the ego, and allows me to see people with more love in my heart, because really, I'm just another them, with a different body, different life experiences, different chemistry etc.

I know y'all know.

Dude YES. I have the same experiences, especially on my last pan cyan trip. I swear I was seeing 2 seconds into the future on everything. It's almost hard to describe because it's happening before you're consciously aware of it...like consciousness shifting gears...

can you imagine, I never played any video games, though I have made my living mostly in software development (since 1980), while acid-etching my personality through most of the last 50 years.
I don't mind the screen while stoned, but I am absorbed in other things.
LSD has been personal, about reconnection with my senses and my greater mind, the ocean where we normally bathe in dreams, or the 4th dimensional thicket of just being.

Psychedelics helped me change my path in life from survival and success to exploration, awe, and connection.

Every trip is also like a mental cleanse. I like the analogy Pollan mentions in his book:

"Think of the brain as a hill covered in snow, and thoughts as sleds gliding down that hill. As one sled after another goes down the hill a small number of main trails will appear in the snow. And every time a new sled goes down, it will be drawn into preexisting trails, almost like a magnet. In time it becomes more and more difficult to glide down the hill on any other path or in a different direction. Think of psychedelics as temporarily flattening the snow. The deeply worn trails disappear, and suddenly the sled can go in other directions, exploring new landscapes and, literally, creating new pathways."

When I was young, I was afraid of many things. I was curious and fascinated by all of them.
I wanted to understand everything-- I was in love with learning about the world around me. I didn't relate well to other kids.
I didn't play sports, I read books. Hundreds of books. Science fiction became my love, because it told all the deep, fantastic, moral and ethical stories of our real world with different clothes--releasing the lessons from the assumptions and the trappings our culture paints everything with from birth (both the good and not so good).

Those stories let my imagination build universes...and I did.

Then as a teen I found music-- it spoke to my soul. It sang to me about what love could be, and about the deep pain and loneliness to live without. It brought me excitement, and passion-- my emotions had color where they had once been only outlines. I grew up because of music. I knew what to look for in love because of music. I knew light and dark because of music.

When I hit my 20's, I was alone-- after diving into drinking at 21 and drowning in it, I was muddy and unprepared to move further. I was an alcoholic.

Then I found video games. They were the stories of my books and the living sights and sounds of my music and imagination... laid before me in a spectacular, immersive, and interactive way. I found solace and joy in the new pursuits in new worlds. I grew to love the authors of these games, for what they had given to me, and also for what they helped take away.

Then, as I passed the quarter of my century, I fell in love with a girl-- she became my world. Pulled me back to here, and sent me to the moon. I didn't need the fantasy of my games because she was the ultimate joy. Living love, passion, humor, and a companionship I had learned about-- guessed about-- dreamed about in books, and music, and years of building up to what could be.

It became real. Then she brought you to me.

My very first trip was with her, and I remember the night. We stopped halfway to my house because we were so excited to get started. We measured out hers in a church parking lot, and then measured out mine. It was 2.09g. We ate them and continued the drive-- 10 minutes to home and we were smoking cigarettes and laughing the entire way there, giddy with anticipation.

We'd already assembled a 6 hour long playlist, with the best and most perfect songs for an experience we had no preparation for-- because until you know, you just don't know.

That trip changed my life.

As entirely as by books as a child. As completely as my music did as a teen.
As powerfully as love brought my life to a pinnacle of being... psychedelic mushrooms took every one of these cherished moments, movements, and revelations and brought them into The One-- the purpose-- the thread that runs through the buttons, beads, and tapestry of our lives. It let me see The Truth-- The Meaning--  The Message-- The Majesty of Life.

You ask, "What aspect of the psychedelic experience are you most grateful for?"

How can I answer such a simple question-- but that it saved my life-- by showing it to me for the first time... that it gave me to know why we love, why we yearn, why we cry, and why we learn.

I thank you for the question-- and I thank God for the answer.

:peace:

What a great story. Thanks for sharing that :awepreciation:

And the video game "2 seconds into the future thing". Ive experienced that too! I call it "Entering The Zone" as you just "know" whats going to happen next, completely focused on the game without even consciously thinking about it, predicting accurately into the immediate future, like a newly found psychic ability, powered directly from psychedelics. It really is something unique.

That's how it was when I was just on my A game in Halo that night. I know I wasn't on a psych but times like that are not just repeatable. They come around very rarely.

Hey good thread Bill. :cookiemonster:

I had to think about it for a long time 'cause well, you know, there are so many aspects to psychedelic experience, endless reimagninings and openings, endless paths to go down, all beginning with the same stimulus (in my case mushrooms almost exclusively).

It might be the sense of oneness that they create.  It might be the connection with nature spirits and the intelligence in the natural world otherwise seldom seen.  And it might be simply the transcendental nature of the trip, the way it unfolds in so many ways simultaneously but always brings you back to that oneness.

OTOH it's possibly how they affect the world itself, via synchronicity and the increased emotional connection - how they make everything easy that you otherwise might have to work at.  How they bring purpose and completeness.  A kind of order that isn't imposed from outside but that arises from within, spontaneously.  How they put you right into the deep waters of the Tao, the river with no source.

Or more likely it's just what they do to music. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Psychedelic music is the single greatest creation ever, and you know this when you hear it in Hendrix and others. I can't begin to describe what that means to me, even though I have hundreds of hours of tapes of guitar compositions made while playing shroomed.  Some of that stuff is epic.  But none of it would be possible without mushrooms.

Come to think of it, though, it's maybe the visuals, the visions, the opening of the ineffable pathways of consciousness into hyperspace and so far beyond ordinary reality.  Here we are, embedded in this infinite matrix of consciousness, and all we can care about is the ordinary shit we think of as life.  The doorway to spirit consciousness that takes you into the shamanic world can't be pigeonholed into anybody's politics. :laugh2:

Or perhaps it's the enlarged perspective you return with after a good trip, while the afterglow is still in your head and you see clearly again.

I think maybe the last, yeah, that's probably what I'm most grateful for.  Uhm, until the next time, anyway.

:goodday:

Oh wait, did I mention how good they make you FEEL?  That's probably the best part - just becoming god again, anytime you want. :awesomenod:

Awesome post, PS. All of those things are worth being grateful for. If I had to pick,gun to my head from your list, I would probably pick the visions. They are so big, right from deep space. Its as if you got rocketed out of the world into a whole different one, to say the least.

The reason why i dont believe psychedelics will ever catch on is because how fucking real they are. What i mean by that is..spirituality of any kind and truth of any kind is not possible without psychedelics. people do not want the true spirituality and the real truth. they are afraid of it. You want the truth? THEY CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH! That is why i dont have much faith in psychedelics changing the world. i mean you can literally go up to people and say "if you eat this mushroom..or take a couple hits of this dmt..you will be shown alternate universes and ultimate truths you cant even begin to imagine...you can tell them that...and they will just shrug their shoulders and continue on with their day. You need to be called to this stuff, apparently.

thats just my take on it. its a pessimistic one, but its just a take i have based on what i see and how i have seen people react when faced with this stuff.

its almost as if psychedelics are so great, that people refuse to believe they can exist. When you tell them it does exist, they cant comprehend how real you are being.

i mean the internet and decriminalizing will help, but i think it only will speed up the process of giving psychedelics to people who were going to eventually try them anyway. which is still good, but i dont think it will create many people who were closed to the idea to eventually wanting to become a shaman :lol:

I don't see it this way at all. Just look at Marijuana, it wasn't long ago I was a highschooler going to Hash Bash every year dreaming one day it would be legal, not even 10 years after graduation that dream is becoming a reality. The thing is, people are growing increasingly skeptical of the government, of big pharma, people are sick of watching loved ones suffer, even Trump made it legal to try experimental drugs if you've got a terminal prognosis already. these are the steps we need in the right direction. I don't think it's too crazy to think there will be decriminalization of ALL drugs in the US in my lifetime. Millenials are fucking pissed about the failed war on drugs, and countries that focused efforts on addiction therapy instead of criminalizing addicts have shown far more success in having a healthy population. not to mention how much better suited that money could be spent. Psilocybin was legalized in Colorado right after pot, who would've seen that coming? FDA just approved breakthrough therapy for it in manic depression studies. The floodgates are opening up, whether it ends up completely legal or atleast becomes regularly used in therapy, things seem to be moving swiftly in a positive direction.



I grew up very right winged and rigid, anti drug, and straight edge. One hit of pot changed all of that as everything I felt I had known turned out to be a lie. I went from being one of the biggest anti drug preachers, to Pro 420 movement overnight and have been searching out answers instead of clashing with opposing views since. well, now I clash with the people who used to be me, but knowing how I was, I see hope for the world.

marijuana had such a greater cult following before it became legalized. Weed was blowing up whether it became legal or not. Weed is looked at as a social and everyday type thing. mushrooms are not.


when mushrooms were sold in Amsterdam, did it become a huge thing? Nah.

the problem is, people do not see the risk being worth the reward when taking mushrooms. the risk of "bad trip maaan" isnt worth the "silliness" they think it induces. With weed, there is no risk virtually in the public's eyes.

also, tripping is a young mans game. or atleast thats the perception. Do you know how many people have tried telling me, a 28 year old, that i was too old to trip and it was only for highschoolers? when people hit their 30's...they come up with the excuse "im too old for that shit man i just smoke weed"

so weed has many advantages to catch on than psychs do.

Another thing I am noticing as of late is how people love to say "my dreams are crazy enough! I don't need psychedelics."

Also not even in the context of psychedelic use people try to boost their ego of how "crazy they are" by saying how crazy their dreams are. Also, people like to say "I can't shut down my brain from thinking at night! It gives me insomnia" it's like good for you dude

I would have to agree bill, marijuana's properties as a mild psychedelic make it the perfect drug for widespread recreational abuse. Mushrooms and other more powerful psychedelics will never be as prevalent in society as weed but that's for the best, as you said, most people cannot handle the truth.

I'm not really a good example of an average person as I rarely dream at all. I have 3 slipped discs and am lucky to get a few hours of sleep a night, much less slip into the REM cycle. I don't wish everyone would get chronic pain or some sort of illness so they understood the daily hell I live with. I just wish society could be compassionate enough to understand that they don't have to take part in psychedelic therapy to allow others to reap it's benefits.I still don't think pot is accepted by the bulk of the public, but it's profitable and compromise has to be made somewhere in government. as time passes and more studies show the positive correlations between psychedelics and mental health, there's no other option than to decriminalize, and possibly legalize. Like you said psychedelics are far more powerful than pot so they might need slightly more regulation, but I don't see any scenario where they continue to lurk in the shadows without getting more positive recognition from society. we have to remember, pretty much every political and scientific advancement for psychedelic therapy has been since the 2006 John Hopkins study. The John Hopkins study was important for 2 reasons, 1 is how respected the institution, and 2 because of the fact that they found medical benefits from it, which directly contradicts the definition of a schedule 1 narcotic. when we put marijuana on the same time line, it was first legalized medicinally in california in 96, and has taken 23 years to get 33 other states on board;it took 16 years for the first state to legalize recreation afterwards. while denvers decriminalization isn't state wide yet for shrooms, it onlI took 13 years after the john hopkins study to make that decision. if they pave the way for shrooms as they did marijuana, things might happen faster than we think. of course this is all pure speculation, but if we don't pull psychedelics from the shadows, who will? I know I'll be branded as crazy for a while, but society will catch on. Same as they did with pot.

Psychedelics are bound now to get decriminalized and then legalized much faster than people tend to expect based on history.  There's increasing awareness of the crucial "point" that they have medicinal value.  And while we here already know they have medicinal value well beyond what's being studied currently, once that door opens it becomes inevitable because, well, people really like their medicine.  And if there's some study that shows psychedelic "A" is gonna free you from crippling society anxiety (for instance) with maybe a few manageable side effects that sound not-so-bad then you can bet people with that sort of problem are going to be interested.  Hell they already are but they come here instead...

Where potent psychedelic drugs differ from more mildly psychedelic ones like THC and the terpenes in modern weed is that weed doesn't tend to alter your basic psyche.  Classic psychedelics can and do.  So they change people.  If those aspects can't be separated from the other benefits (and they haven't been yet) that limits their appeal to those who'd like their minds to change, as I think has been said.

What would really help spread mushrooms IMHO is legalization of sale and shipping of live cultures, not just spores.  Then you could produce potent isolates for specific effects (as people like myself already do) and share them widely as cultivars, just like weed, without concern.  Cultivars are how all agriculture mushrooms are spread.  It'd be like (this is for you Bill :lol:) having "dealer shrooms everywhere!"  not just weak ass MS from grow kits or syringes sold by sketchy internet sites. 

Then you could go to the local head shop and BUY a culture of "PE Texan Skunk Hybrid" or whatever right out of cold storage that was guaranteed basically to leave you :trippnballs: on 1 g when you grew it out because it would have been cultivated to produce 10% psilocybin along with a host of other interesting related compounds (or something).  That I think is the real future that's coming.  This is what I can do right now with legal weed if I wanted to grow weed anymore, which I don't, mostly.  I can get seeds and I can get cultivars.

Just think about how many different strains of weed have been produced by dedicated breeders.  Same thing can happen with mushrooms. :cookiemonster:

Right now I can mail spores with no worries but not cultures (still scheduled even though they really don't make actives).  I only share cultures with personal friends who have a strong interest, the same as fruits.  So I'm real careful about that.  Legalization would bring a lot more people into the pool of those who'd conduct genetic experiments to find the best shit possible.

I think I just saw that MAOI's have been found to be produced in cubes I think? At least in small quantities. I can imagine that testing of the more concentrated fruits can lead to cloning and then an entirely different variety with a high psilocybin AND MAOI content.

I meant to come here and ask about that study\results cause that's pretty wild if true. Sorry to get off topic

Right on, Bill!

I’m most grateful for how mushrooms in particular are able to let me better tap into having important internal dialogue with my subconscious mind

Even in small doses.
I love how they are able to break cycles of negative thinking and apathy that comes with life’s occasional bouts of mild depression. Essentially tearing down walls between your sense of self & subconscious to open up internal dialogue for an action plan.
Before taking mushrooms I never fully realised how the conscious & subconscious mind could act as two seperate entities working against each other.

Even though taking shrooms with a lot of repressed negative feelings can be difficult at times, Seeing how it has the ability to bring all that bad stuff to the surface..
They have twice in my life so far come to help me internally confront & address deep rooted stress. Complex issues that could have other wise snowballed into some kind of depression. Basically such experiences felt like very successful psychotherapy sessions between myself & my subconscious.

Really fucking greatful that it can used as a tool to propel you & your subconscious in the right direction, At times where it seems to be working against you.
