Reasons for tripping

When I want to trip it's usually because I want an experience. I never trip with the intention of getting or being fucked up. I kinda take whatever and just let things go and see what happens. I tend to like the trip more because of the experience rather than just because I have the sole intent of being fucked up. I feel like at bonnaroo this year I ate whatever I ate more because I wanted to be fucked up for things. I felt the experience to be less great. I ate 5 hits collectively in one night. It was more than I ever had in one night. I felt the experience to be dry. I don't think it was because of the quality of the stuff as much as it was my reasons were not just relaxed fun. It was planned desire of intoxication and it was one of my least favorite trips. This has made me want to kinda stick to nugget for a little while and take a break from the rest.
Has anyone ever felt this way? I feel like my experiences on drugs should be more than just being fucked up. Am I just being overly paranoid about this?
This is something that's been on my mind for a little while. I was wondering if anyone else ever felt this way?

Reasons? There are no reasons.
Who needs reasons when you've got LSD?

maybe not reasons so much as motivations.

Yeah, I used lie to/tell myself that I was all shamanic and try to get into that way of living, but in actuality, I just like visual hallucinations.
Sometimes I feel that I'm a bit enlightened after a trip, but honestly that's not the reason why I do it. I trip because it's fun.

I agree with you, I have never tripped with the sole intention of getting "fucked up" nor do I plan on doing so. In my experience with hallucinogens, they are not to be used recreationally. This is not to say that you can't have fun or enjoy the experience though...they're just not to be used recklessly. I'm interested to see the opinions of others.
Peacefulness.

I'm with you - I have long since stopped doing anything just to get messed up.
I trip only occasionally - once or twice a season, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Like most of us, I get caught up in life in general - work, family, paying bills - all the usual stuff. Tripping time is the only time I have to myself exclusively. I find it helps to put everything into its proper place. And yeah, I do enjoy it too....

I feel like when psychadelics are done recklessly is when it starts having a negative affect on you.
But yea, it's nice to know i'm not the only one that feels this way. It alsmost has me worried when people ar elike "i wanna eat so much acid and get FUCKED up. I feel like mr.l is gonna get mad and like backfire on them and they might have a bad trip. That's what I'm always afraid of.

shit to tell u the truth i have tripped mushrooms about 5 times. 2 times have been great experiences because those were when i have had it already planned out and set up and excited. The other 3 times was when they spontaneously came and i wasnt ready so i either had a mild trip or more of a guilt trip i should say.

I trip for different reasons. Tripping just to be in an altered state is usually a bad idea, although I can't say that I havnt tripped before because there was nothing else better to be doing. That trip was one of the most boring trips. It was just very, very blah.
That being said, I can't say that when I trip it's always a spiritual thing, where I go into it looking to come out in a super-enlightened state of mind. Sometimes you trip because you need to get shit figured out, but not always.
most of the time, the reason i'm tripping falls somewhere inbetween the two. Tripping with friends makes for great bonding, in my opinion. Mostly because when I trip, even with a group, i like to do it "right": small group tripping, potentially a sitter, but thats not really always nessassary. I guess I trip for the experience. I feel that you should be getting something out of your trip each time, although it's not always a huge revalation.

I agree with you whole heartedly. I rarely go into it conciously thinking, "i'm gonna come out of this a changed woman" but it's defintely about like the experience. but when the experience becomes just being fucked up i feel like it loses what's so great about it. beucase it isn't about just being fucked up. it's about experiencing life in an altered state.

Yeah, i agree. Like i said, ive only tripped once just to get fucked up, because there was nothing better to be doing, and yeah, its boring. Then when its over, its even more of a bummer, because you realize you just wasted mushrooms that you could have held onto for a nice sunny day thats got you feeling amazing already

yea im the same way. the only reason i trip is because it shows me a different side of the world and reality then just being sober. it also shows me things about myself and the universe that i never knew about. i use it as a spiritual guidance and somewhat of a "learning tool form life" more than just getting fucked up. mushrooms are magical and powerful and people should use them as enlightenment more then just getting fucked up. i see them as much much more

I really don't know why I trip nowadays, I guess I'm still looking for the magic and euphoria I attained from my very first time... but the others have just been interesting but weird and not very fun... I know what's going to happen, and it happens, so I haven't much desire to take more....
I probably won't be tripping for a long while... I still want to try mescaline and DMT.
