god I feel like such a tripping novice compared to the likes of Psilocybe Cubensis and Murple and everyone ... A lot of people are reaching the door and opening it, but I am still stuck in the hallway (but in a good way)
Hendrix made the mistake of tripping so much that he grew tired of it and took 5 hits just to relax.
Barrett took so much acid that he just completely fried his brain. He never got through the door.
Having only done 2 acid trips and about 7 mush trips (and a few other trips like DXM and such) I feel I have a very long way to go before I get to the point Cubensis has. I wish him the best, and though i do feel sad, I think he has taken it as a good thing. One day I hope to also get to that point, but not anytime soon. I might stop my use of mushrooms due to how little I really get out of them (I more often than not get quite bored, resulting in a bad trip where I just have nothing to do and nothing special to see) but if I can finally get acid I will most definitely start real journeys. Overall, AciD is my favorite drug, no holds barred. I can't wait to get some more.
Psilocybe I hope you join us sometime again in the future, at least to tell us how you are doing. You've been great on the BB and we will all miss you

shrooms are the shit!!!! i did the exact same thing that you did. i always used to hear stories about guys that took alot of shrooms and then went sober. i personally met two of these people, and i am doing a similiar thing. one guy took 3/4 a half once and thought he died, so he dont shroom no more. another guy took a half once and doesnt do drugs anymore. i took 1/3 once and i dont do crazy shit no more. this doesnt include weed and alchohal. i have already gone through the "crazy stage" with weed so im cool with getting stoned now, and there truely is nothing wrong with getting drunk. i just need to stay away from the shrooms and acid, and i never did any other drugs besides shrooms acid weed and alchohal so i dont have to worry bout that. i was going to give away my spores and such but i didnt want to drag it out. i would be making some people do the same thing as me and that isnt cool. shrooms really give you a slap in the face.
one plus one plus one equals three

One day you guys will all reach the point. I have been there for a while now. There comes a point to where you no longer learn anything new from your trips. I am only going to trip one more time and I am done..I am going to trip solo and take enough that I should reach ego death. Blu you are still beging your tripping, 7 times is not alot you still may have a while to enjoy your trips. I have tripped 25-30 times. Tripping is some what like meditation. When you first begin to mediate you become enlightened and are bombarded with pure thoughts and beauty. As you go further into meditation soon you begin to see sorrow and pain. It is like you must be shown the ultimate beauty before you can handle the unlimate evil, but it is necessary to know both...take care and enjoy tripping ;)

Damn this thread is painfully true............... I also agree that u can go so far and then it comes time to make that big choice, wich some of us face every trip hehe. Any ways I have a good and kinda sad story, about 3 months ago I was tripping with my friend ( his second time) we both took 3.5 grams. And this guy is a pot head as was I ( were talkin smokin 2 times daily) He had no job, no money, he wasn't happy with himself,( ur thinkin why would he do this ????? right??) before the trip ,thats why he smoked so much, to ease family probs, depression. But to save a long story, after the trip he tossed his bud kicked the habbit, stoped doing any kind of drug, got a job and is know doing unbelievably(sp) well. So in reality I personally think it was good for him. The sad thing about this story is I lost my best friend of 16 years in one night, wich was prolly some of my fault, he felt he needed to clean himself of every defilment(sp), or everything that would hinder or bring him down in life.. Its not that I wasn't a good trip sitter, so much that it opened his eyes to what he realy was ( and no I'm not saying everyone who smokes or does drugs is stupid or dumb) I'm just saying it takes different amounts of time with different people. I still trip, about 3-4 times a year, And I know I will eventually quit. But right now I know I'm happy,I have a job( not the best but hey )
and I have good friends and family. But any way PC if ur still here I have so much respect for u and understand whats up. SoI wish u the best of luck on the journey my friend...............

we spend so much time setting goals, and striving for them, that by the time we reach the goals we realise we no longer have the same goals now as we did when we set them. As so much time and effort was put into reaching these goals, we missed the main part of it all, the journet, the experiance of getting to the goals. The goals in themselves are somewhat irrevalant compared to how you got there, the journey.
"Nothing is forever... that?s the beauty of things. Things that aren't forever are more valuable. "
Thats a really nice sentence, maybe some won't get it, understand it right now, maybe some never will, maybe i have misunderstood what you meant, but that is irrevelant. I know what that means to me and how it will shape me.
I only just recently figured this out for myself, been too busy striving for goals and missing the journey. Luckily i realised whilst still young, and can enjoy the journey of life.
Things aren't forever, and will end, in a few years time i doubt i will be the same, and taking shrooms are the last thing in the world i want to do. But i will always remember the time when i was younger and that person did want to. And maybe i will look back and remember, and try it again.

READ TOM WOLFE's Electric Kool Aid Acis Test.... Its all about Ken Kesey and his "Graduation From Acid" idea... It is all about this...very relevant stuff.

I havn't chosen to trip in a /very/ long time, mostly because unlike Hunter S. Tompson, I do have the sense that I can do more with drugs than without them. This doesn't mean that I think the mental state is irrelevant to other people, just that after experiencing pychedelics on the occasions that I have, I feel as though I have warred with my ego to the point where I feel at balance with the world - no longer disconnected, no longer afraid, no longer the person I was.
But then again, that might just be adolecence, some would argue that, though I think they may only be scraping the surface.
What I guess is my concern is if you have taken any spirituality /away/ from the experiences, or if all of your spirituality was locked up /within/ them. I do not think there is much of a chance of that, considering what I've read, but I do know people who have fallen victim to this ego-trap. And having done so, they have erased and destroyed whatever 'good' was done through their tripping - just turning their backs onto what they've seen - dismissing it as a 'phase' or a 'delusion'. Going back to the 'real' world in this case is the same as letting ego blossom again. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with that, sometimes seeing after being blind for so long is frightening (or vise-versa).
I guess that is the door everyone keeps alluding to in a vauge sort of way...spirituality in general. The universal spirituality that is codified and fragmented by the entities of religion as they try to make it available to everyone by reducing it - dumbing it down - for mass consumption. Does the essential spiritual nature of the world just slip away when you stop? Do you want it to? Is it just a passing fancy which lets you related to chicks and was a good way to get laid? Every door seems to have these sorts of judgements locked up along the threshold. What these judgements are are self-judgements. You have to answer them yourself, figure out if this mythical door is something you wholly want to step through. Not everyone will; more not than will, infact. There isn't right and wrong in this case...at least...not from this side of the door.
