schizophrenia and hallucinogens
    #4667256 - 09/15/05 08:52 PM (18 years, 4 months ago)

People with the genetic disposition to have schizophrenia (more so if on both sides of the family)experience the hallucinogens 4-10 fold and without getting the same physical problems or physical distractions cause they dont have to take as much. This is why a level 5 trip means nothing as it pertains to doseage, I feel.
Any thoughts on this, or maybee you are one of those people who, to you takeing 8 grams is just silly and makes you retarded and short of other more physical signs of life, simply put.
Also, ego-loss and spirituality is a major part of tripping along with many other things, Im just wondering if there are people here who feel the same about doseage

so although one guy can take 6 grams and have a level five trip, It takes 8 for someone else? Im just trying to make sense of that.
Because a schyzotypal can take 2 grams and see fatter visuals than those on eight grams.
By the way Im talking about those who are capable of becoming schiz. Im talking genetics and the level 5 trip. I was talking about it as it pertains to doseage

i thought the level of the trip was subjective and didn't matter on the doseage, it just depends on how intense the experience is

but i can make myself have a different level trip if i focus hard enough

Everyone is different, schizophrenic or not. How many schizophrenics have you spoken with who take mushrooms? It greatly varies person to person. A mushroom trip for a schizophrenic is probably very different than a mushroom trip for a "normal" person; after all, their brains are structured differently, different areas are stimulated than "normal" brains in everyday life, etc.

A lot of these people are "permanently tripping," so of course taking a drug will just exacerbate their symptoms.

Mentally healthy, ive found means less intelligent, or those who claim they can pass through life and learn as much as they can while being happy and socially normal. And there are far fewer people that are like that than you would imagine. Just look at the stats on people over 40. Mentally healthy, you shure have not read much about schizos, cause they are so intelligent most of the time that they are narcisistic and have delusions of grandure. Terrence mckenna and his brother fit into this catagory, they are of the more functional variety

By "mentally healthy," I was referring to the average joe who does not suffer from schizophrenia or a severe mental disorder. I thought this was fairly clear in context.

Intelligent and overstimulated does not mean you are less healthy jabba, just different. One too many psych classes under your belt or you just buy into that garbage. Its not like I was talking about dibilitated schizos, who should never take hallucinogens.

schizotypal, this was a converasation I hoped would turn to genetics. Noone is normal if they have eaten acid and shrooms repeatedly, thats another way to interpret what ive said

I put "mentally healthy" in quotation marks for a reason. The idea of "mental health" is very abstract.

I do not believe that schizophrenics are by any means inferior or less intelligent. I don't believe schizophrenia is a "disease" per se. It's just another way that a minority of people view the world, largely due to their neurochemistry and hardwiring, although it is true that it generally does make people a lot less functional in society.

I was talking about those who like the topic of genetics, and would go further with it than that.
Again, I was also talking about those people who have no problems with functioning, but have the disposition(Schizotypals) as it pertains to doseage.
Basically I was saying that dose recommedations with level five trips are way to varient for a doseage recommendation. The schizo premis got in the way.
A level 5 can occure useing 2 grams for some people who are fully functional. Thats all

You seem like a good/smart "guy", I hope to talk to you later.
Logic turns me on, just dont think I was simply trying to contradict you, it was just a somewhat redundant talk about the premis of my post.
I probably should have premised my desired future chain of group cognition/text better than I did. It was about genetics and how functional people can be VERY sensitive to these drugs

The fact that you have an idea of "normal" derails your entire argument.

Schizo is not normal, this was a conversation that between intelligent folks that hopefuly would have gone in the direction of genetics as it pertains to tolerance. I was never talking about dibilitated schizos damn it. Cant anyone read.
Thanks for the irrelivant comment about how schizos are not normal. Im not one of them, but I think onemorerobot is a putz, sorry for being so egocentric.
Normal is most people, do you respond to everyone like a kid who cant read and thinks he is the shit. Good lord

One more thing. An argument this was not. it was about genetics and non-dibilitated schizotypal personalities as it pertains to tolerance. Clearly not a conversation for you to become a part of

Jesus man, calm down. You don't even understand what I was responding to.

And I'm not interested in clarifying - you are short-tempered in all the threads you post in.

Your attitude keeps discussions from getting off the ground. People want to discuss but you turn on them for obscure reasons. If someone posts "nonsense" it most of the time means it makes no sense *for you* because you don't see their point. When someone seems to talk utter weirdness I always ask myself "where did *I* go wrong" first, because weirdness often lies in the eye of the beholder.

I am close with someone whose father is/was a schitzophrenic (and a sleugh of other things as well... S_E_V_E_R_E OCD, etc) hospitalized many times during his 50-some-odd years. He did a lot of psychedelics in his youth, specifically lsd and mushrooms and from what I can tell they seemed about just as normal as my own trips (including dosage). He did have trouble with re-integration, for instance succombing to wonder and disillusionment that these things are possible in the human brain and the implications of such things, and a hard questioning of reality even in his later years... but we all usually go through that once and a while. He did tell me once that "other" drugs, and I understand that as speed, barbs, and alcohol (which he considered evil) caused very traumatic effects including loss of memory, trance like states, suspected loss of free will, and a general disassociation with reality (very literally in once case where after a dose of "downers" (?) he blacked out for a period of a few days and then slept for about 72 hours.

On the other subject you mention, his daughter (her mother is also mentally "off", never admitting to which diagnosis have given her full social security benifits by the age of 30-something) has a hard time reaching the "normal" states of a trip. She loves psychedelics but really sees nothing in common with the majority of others' experiences. She also requires at least 4g of cubensis to "get anything out of it". LSD seemed, judging from what she told me, a little lackluster compared to the "hype", I.E. the truth (I thoroughly disagree).
