I hate the words psychedelic and tripping.

It over simplifies whats going on as a "woooo trippy woooo experience"

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..

'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

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?

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.

I used to dislike psychedelic, but after extracting my own DMT and trying it, and witnessing it, psychedelic, believe it or not, was really the first word I thought of because it encompasses much else. For instance, it was beautiful, original, or novel, and everything else, but we know one word can refer to the entirety of it, for brevity. Tripping is slang, because in places where they say "hella", saying someone is "trippin'" means they are mistaken. Usually when tripping on psychedelics, the connection is made through direct experience rather than reading or wondering about it, as hallucinations or bizarre thoughts might cause someone to tell themselves that they must be "trippin'" because what they're seeing can't be real. Explaining "it" to non-users of psychoactive substances like they're five is entirely different than casually chatting about them with those in the know.
Then there are those who call the wavy lines weak or boring, but they fail to argue about how that part is only the "afterglow" and not the main hallucination. They just don't know how it works and DMT, LSD, and psilocybin mushrooms are all different but similar so any nuanced explaining is best saved until after they tried them, and smoked weed and salvia for good measure too. That isn't advice, as I don't advise anyone to "use a drug", and especially not a psychedelic (why would I recommend that to anyone?).
There's a song called Psychedelic Funk by Kottonmouth Kings, who are known for rapping about weed. It gets awkward rapping about mushrooms or acid just to talk about how high you got. That's probably why some don't like the word. Cannabis is a mild psychedelic, and mushrooms and DMT are psychedelic. LSD is psychedelic too but salvia is more psychoactive than psychedelic, per se, although it's visual.
Mushrooms don't give superpowers unless they're third eye and ray based. LSD gives superpowers but also, in reality, makes you need more control over their power. DMT is the most visually powerful entheogen. In fact, it's ironic in a sense because most "predictions" say telling people about DMT use just makes them jealous and angry; it doesn't help with getting laid, making friends, or having better material to talk about.
Elves and fairy aren't one thing. You can only push it so far. The seeming randomness to psychedelics in relation to the "humor" doesn't appeal to most. I did mushrooms recently and put Dennis McKenna on to guide the trip and reduce stress. The psilocybin showed the usual "chartreuse" colors and abstract designs at first, then it was like a later Sonic stage. Then Dennis started to sound like "Dr. Robotnik" so I turned it off for more silent darkness. Someone might say something about mushrooms being more like Super Mario, but there was some of that too. The entire thing can be called fairy, as faerie visiting me is what happened when I did DMT. Call it what you want.
It's hypocritical, almost, to say we can learn about our species. From my experience telling people, they ignore and ridicule me instead. I already know most, at this point, I can just recommend a textbook called Life in the Universe, which is from a class I took in 2013. It has most information to get you thinking on the right track in it, and is meant to be a "sequel" or "spiritual successor" to regular astronomy courses. Then use Terence McKenna to supplement your own psychedelic history, if necessary, or Leary, and anyone else. Also, use Google to look up nursing facts if you didn't major in it in college or take microbio and nutrition classes. However, be mindful that it's more than a game of knowing as much information as possible so you can talk about anything to impress people, because some find value in "humility", although I wouldn't overdo it.
DMT is more fairy-like while LSD is more elf like, but I also took a dose of acid once and when the visual part kicked in, with eyes closed, I saw a fairy dance, there were two of them, basically, and they were dancing brilliantly. It was exquisite. They look professional, but also unreal, but real and alive, like alien, or fairy, in otherwords. They were visiting me, or perhaps I them, since I took the acid. They were "Tinkerbell" sorts, wearing skirts and tops, holding wands with star tips, and their wings were so that I could see the four corners of the wing tips and ends from in front. Their dance was such that they would spin around. It went on for five or so minutes, then it ended.
The next acid dose I did there was, like, a blue "psychedelic" looking thing that just gave me a "can opener" sensation. It was how they say mushrooms are more natural but LSD has a more "synthetic" feel. DMT is like trying to obtain a smokable form of psilocybin and ripping a huge hypothetical dose out of it from a bong, but said form only lasts 5-10 minutes regardless (unless with an MAO-I). It's also structurally similar to serotonin, and not difficult to make a connection.

So, you are in the habit of stating fallacious claims as fact, and then when challenged, and you will push back, but when it is clear that you were mistaken, you say you don’t care to argue? That’s very convenient for you, isn’t it?

it's because you are likely to trip out on things, to look beseechingly into the deeper dimensions, or lean into memories, all very tripped out on trippy extensions of the moment.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/trip
Quote:
trip (v.)
late 14c., "tread or step lightly and nimbly, skip, dance, caper," from Old French triper "jump around, dance around, strike with the feet" (12c.), from a Germanic source (compare Middle Dutch trippen "to skip, trip, hop; to stamp, trample," Low German trippeln, Frisian tripje, Dutch trappen, Old English treppan "to tread, trample") related to trap (n.).
The senses of "to stumble" (intransitive), "strike with the foot and cause to stumble" (transitive) are from mid-15c. in English. Meaning "to release" (a catch, lever, etc.) is recorded from 1897; trip-wire is attested from 1868. Related: Tripped; tripping.
trip (n.)
"act or action of tripping" (transitive), early 14c., from trip (v.); sense of "a short journey or voyage" is from mid-15c.; the exact connection to the earlier sense is uncertain. The meaning "psychedelic drug experience" is first recorded 1959 as a noun; the verb in this sense is from 1966, from the noun.

Leave it to an etymologist to omit the part where black Americans started using 'trippin' in the early 20th century to mean acting crazy, reckless, foolish, etc. Which you can pretty directly give credit to for the hippy adaptation in the mid 20th century. It's just convenient that it also means journey and totally coincidental that it sounds like a part of tryptamine.

Nah, it comes from tryptophan which comes from trypsin which is a protein named after the Greek word for rubbing/to rub, tribein, because they found it by rubbing a pancreas with glycerin.

That's true and is from books like Acid Dreams, although it was coined during the Szara and Mankse DMT experiments, which Szara only chose because he couldn't get LSD to test. Mankse is known for first synthesizing it.

I bet they were high as fuck when they thought that plan up.
Probably spent months on end of eating shrooms, smoking weed and rubbing random shit together trying to discover better drugs.
