Can you talk to people on psychedelics?

Someone said you can’t talk to people if you go outside on mushrooms.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I know a lot of good material can come out of it, but you can also write. People can also ignore you if they find out you’re intoxicated, because they also just try to people watch or see if they can figure out what you’re about.
What has your experience been?

My ability to function socially is enhanced on acid and compromised on mushrooms of moderate dosage. Even low doses of mushrooms just make being around people weird. Acid obviously begins to interfere with this on higher doses. For me it’s a social substance.

I'm extremely functional and effective (I've made some very, very big sales while absolutely stoned out of my mind, in front of incredibly affluent people; I still almost don't believe it happened LOL) on large doses of cannabis.
Anything above 3g dry cubensis though and I can't deal. Sociability ends after 2.5g for me.

Well I think Pablo Amaringo’s book Ayahuasca Visions is a shit book, despite him supposedly being an experienced ayahuasquero.
After a certain point, it turns mostly to politics and social codes. It’s also a popular book, so I would think people, especially the layman audience that book is designed for, would be interested in hearing stories or tales involving the substances, but it usually leads to simple jealousy because they aren’t the ones.
The other problem is being accused of having little education. The interpretations and claims made by some shamans make people think they’re dumb, when it’s an obvious drug code speech attempt that should end up being tongue in cheek. It’s frowned upon when people talk, as in give certain information away, and there’s been a decrease in using “SWIM” and similar techniques out of laziness, when people are still getting locked up for minor, petty drug offenses.
A lot of that is misconception. A shaman can be perfectly well educated, even insofar as being privy to the performance related aspect of curing. Different points of view aren’t just being considered. There are also customs. The huge difference between reading about something and actually doing it means information is important and people will go through great lengths to get it. When you help people with homework is when a critical stage has been reached.

Def depends on dose. Here's the weird thing though.. I can get into some great conversations and speak fluently (sometimes I just giggle out of nowhere) with someone that knows I'm tripping. But, as soon as I encounter someone that doesn't know I'm tripping, is when I get weird.
It's like I have to hold my composure and then I just go into lockup up and everything becomes tight, my mind starts to get blocked. This is why I don't like being around people when I trip, unless it's good friends. But definitely do like being by myself the most because I don't have to hide any emotion or thought to myself. I can express it any which way I choose.
But don't get me wrong, I've had some excellent conversations with friends while tripping. It all depends on what the nights for. Maybe you and your friend just want to have a good time and make some memories and explore the magic together.. or maybe you just wanna go at it alone and talk toyourself.
At higher doses.. imo.. anything over 3.5g.. talking to yourself is like talking to a therapist. You answer and reevaluate your own questions and answers. Very odd, but very therapeutic. You and your subconscious mind are in sync with each other and you're introducing both sides of the spectrum. Makes for an awesome conversation with yourself if you ask me.

No good material can come by speaking to sober people while tripping balls on shrooms. A tripping veteran should know this.
Who really wants to talk and write and why? LOL

In public? No way-- I am extremely sensitive to others under the influence, so 97% of my experience is safely alone at home.
In private/at home? Yes, definitely! I feel terrified of interaction with outside people honestly-- under a microscope.

Depends on what type of substance as well as what social setting and your level of comfort. Besides a high dosage (even then sometimes it isn't difficult especially at a party or show) it's really up to how you feel, there have been times I'd be very off in my head and have trouble communicating on a normal dose and other times it would be the opposite.
Tho I dont particularly like walking around in public while tripping unless its later st night and dead streets. Mostly like tripping alone or with couple ppl at home or if at all possible outside away from noise and buildings
