I hate the words psychedelic and tripping.
it gives a bad name to these magic potions. and associate with a dumb culture
It over simplifies whats going on as a "woooo trippy woooo experience"
mushrooms can give you superpowers and maximum energy but yall just goofin
DMT is instant super sayan powers but yall just teleporting to other dimensions n shit
These things can be used to gain secret knowledge about our own species but instead yall would rather talk to the elves..
come on yall wake up

'Cause you're going somewhere. You're on a journey. You're traveling. You're trekking. You're having an expedition. You're taking a trip. And psychedelic is just way too easy.
Don't hate the words; hate the speaker.

Lol sounds like you just came down off a high dose trip there. Did you not travel? Also, a higher dose might cure these thoughts.

"Psychedelic" -> psychḗ (greek) for soul, "dẽlos" (greek) for reveal / show.
Psychedelics reveal your soul.. Your true feelings, behaviours, fears, needs. It's the perfect term for what it's all about.

I like the word “trip”.
To me, it connotes a journey, and also a reaction to an obstacle.
I think of it like: you are walking along a path, and stumble over an object, suddenly, you are no longer walking, but instead have fallen to the ground and are then privy to a new perspective of the path. Sometimes, a person will become so concerned over the stumbling itself, or injuries from the fall, or even become enthralled with the object, to the exclusion of returning to walk the path itself. They just kinda sit there, tripping over some shit.

Trip is slang for the word Tryptamines, the name given to the family of chemicals that many psychedelics are a part of

If this is all you've got be bothered by today, I'd say that's a pretty good day

I don't think anyone coining the term 'trip' in the 1920's had any knowledge of the word tryptamine.

I don't think that's true. Not all psychedelics are tryptamines and not all tryptamines are psychedelics. That's a vague statement.

yeah, BS meter is going off. Do you have a source for the “trip is slang for tryptamine” thing? It’s a myth AFAIK. I just checked an etymology website. They do mention the word first being used concerning psychedelics in 1959. No connection to tryptamines mentioned.
Also, Wouldn’t it be spelled “tryp” if that were the case?

On a separate note; magic potions, superpowers, “sayan powers” and secret knowledge......
But, you are worried that “tripping” and “psychedelic” are giving a bad impression and associated with an ignorant culture?
Are you trolling us? 
Edit: you also “hate words”? What about the word MOIST, Lol

"DMT is instant super sayan powers" is really elevating the dialogue here.

no Im just telling yall these things can become so much more than a "trip"
If you tell yourself that you're going somewhere and that somewhere is not here, then you convince yourself that its not real.
And another thing is this lingo and culture convinces you that "when you trip this happens" so that bullshit stuff happens instead of whats really supposed to happen.
I gave my friend who never did drugs in his life, not even marijuana, 5g fresh and he told me that he felt smart as fuck and could feel people through the electricity grid and talk to them in their dreams...
but if he had been brainwashed by terrance mckenna he woulda just went to lala land instead...

Hm. I think you may be projecting your own confusion and misunderstandings.
I wasn’t exposed to Terry until after several psychedelic experiences. My major expectation was rainbow kaleidoscopes and getting high. I was blown away, my first thoughts were like : this isn’t what they said it was like!
How would you describe the whole of a psychedelic experience to the uninitiated? If everyone is doing such a terrible job of describing what it is, do you seriously think “magic” or your friends claim of super powers are any more helpful that machine elves?
Also, are you suggesting there is only one kind of experience available, or that you yourself are “doing it the right way”, how do you know?

Just because the word 'tryptamine' has been around since the '20s and some psychedelics are tryptamines doesn't mean the word 'Trip' comes from tryptamine.

It doesn't mean it doesn't either though. I don't care enough to argue or look it up
