Left handed vs. Right handed tripping
    #5493064 - 04/08/06 01:28 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I've been reading stuff about the brains hemespheres and their operations, and relation to which side of the brain is dominant if your left or right handed.

If you're left handed, you're right side of you're brain is dominant.
If right handed, vice versa.

check this out



I'm a lefty and i seem to expirience the right hemesphere's assets, like. emotion, changes in perception. awareness but not putting into words, humor ect.. more than my fellow right handed trip partners.

at the same dose i also get much more complex fractal visuals than other righty's. I have yet to trip with a left handed person, but i'd really like to see if i'm correct in my thesis that,

left handed people while on a psychedelic can have greater changes in perception, more creative visuals, more emotion in reaction to music ect.

i am right handed, and i get very intense visuals. i also find that music is the best part of any trip, making music or listening to it, or having entire songs play in your head.

Well, I'm left handed, but strangely, in terms of brain hemisphere abilities, my left brain side clearly seems to be the dominant one. Tripping, and especially ayahuasca, helped me balance this out a bit. I used to be pretty stuck emotionally, which I'm not anymore. But I'm still a poor visualizer, and much more creative with words and concepts than with pencils or music instruments.

:confused:

I'd say I am extremely balanced between to the two, although I don't know if I completely believe in right brain-left brain theory.

I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

i'd be more interested finding out the differences between men and women tripping. men use one side of their brains at a time while listening (listening can interchange w/ percieving for this purpose) and women use both sides. i'm sure this would lead to a different sensory experience on shrooms between the sexes.

my friend's a lefty and he seemed more confused than i had expected. but he could just as well have a low tolerance, i dont know. however, he had very much lost the concept of time and couldn't imagine himself ever being normal again. at least that matches with the image. interesting stuff you brought up.

Ya, it varies. I am the most right brained person I know in the way of artistic ability, and even self-expression through use of language.

My best friend is a lefty and also very right brained, but does seem to be confined by common logic sometimes, as opposed to creative solutions etc.

The whole conclusion that is sometimes made between righty and lefty as it pertains to right brained left brained is pretty much bogus.
Like I said, I am certain that I am the most right brained person I will ever know. Artist and musician, and just for the sake of argument I am very skilled with both to the point where some people just think I have to be inherently weird because of it. And I have never been taught anything except in the visual arts. All the rest is self taught.

To exemplify what I am talking about, and though it may seem like im just trying to contradict most of you:
People who play the guitar righty play the more intricate parts on the guitar with the left hand, as the right hand picks in any 6 part combination or less. Leftys play lefty guitar and finger the more intricate part with the right.

SO I think we are dealing with something a bit more complex than righty vs lefty. A few studies dont mean much when it comes to this subject. Right handed people are far more common, but it has more to do with learned experience and chance than how their brain/ nervous system is wired. It is interesting to think of how some kids pick up the pen and write with their left first. That could be considered to be uncommon, artistic, (not wired the same way), innovative, and it just might be the reason this difference between the two seemes so obvious to some. I dont agree with it though.

To create a model of what left vs right handed means about the brain would have to account for all those who are very right brained and are righty. It would be more sound to look at how many people are right brained and what percentage of them are lefty(by far the minority). There might be some difference if they probe enough, but it has very little relavence.
