It's not always bad to trip for fun.

I'm not going to go as far as saying I'm fed up, but I am rather tired of people condemning the use of psychedelics for fun.
I don't know what everyone else experiences while they are tripping, but I have a lot of fun. I know that shroom trips are enlightening (not being facetious), but sometimes I am not looking for a universal experience, but I still want to experience the wild mentality of tripping.
So I guess my question is:
Do you think that it is okay to trip purely for fun at any point in time?

Of course Thats why I use them for fun and as a learning tool.
It is so dangerous to be in the right when the government is in the wrong. There is a major difference between the recreational mushroom grower, and the crack fiend of the street.

I think mushrooms can be used however you personally choose to use them. Mushrooms are a very personal thing and so I say: To each his own. Enjoy.

Yeah i think there's no point in arguing about the way someone likes to trip, as long as he respects everybody else.

Of course not. It's an enjoyable experience. People laugh have a good time with friends enjoy the scenery more, there's nothing wrong with using it for recreation. But respect people's opinion when they want to use tripping (especially acid) as a learning tool instead of something fun to do at a party.

I don't see how it can't be used as a learning tool. If you sit there and fry for 6 hours and not think of a damn thing even slightly profound, than its all a waste.

the last statement despisedicon said couldn't be more true. The government outlaws every drug because people abuse stuff like crack and smack. The average person, when they hear about street drugs, thinks about stuff people fiend for, rarely psychedelics. Even if these are brought up, the people fall back on the media/government bias as their only source of knowledge.
I don't always go into a trip to solve a problem. Usually I take something with the only expectation to have a good time, to enjoy everything around me. Sometimes things change directions and I do end up finding out something new, but nothing is a set standard.
It's called *recreational drug use* for a reason.

I can't NOT have fun while I do shrooms.

Tripping and having fun? No, I see nothing wrong with that as long as you don't get too caught up in the giggling and stupid stuff to see the significance and lessons behind what you're experiencing. I don't think there's actually anyone who thinks if you're having fun you're doing it wrong, but there are a lot of people who just approach it with a mentality like "Oh my god this is so crazy I'm tripping balls, everything seems so pure and significant, too bad it's just drug induced bullshit". That's where I draw the line between spiritual tripper and ignorant fuck up...

i agree with this.
i dont thik its bad to trip for fun sometimes, just as long as your respecting the shroom or drug and allow youself to be open to any insight that may come your way.
what i hate , and what i'll often say is that some of these users dont take the plant/ drug seriously at all, they think its sole purpose is to "fuck you up" without acknowledging how profound the impact a trip may or may not have on you. i think its the "i'll do anything to get high" users who bring up these feelings, the ones who have their fun irresponsibly and end up bringing down punishments on the whole drug community as a whole
every trip cannot be life changing every trip cannot be solely fun oriented
more often than not you'll find a mix of both.
but as long as you respect yourself, those around you and the hallucinogen whatever way you trip is right.
it's all about respect .

It is absolutely your right to decide at any time to put any chemicals you please into your body. Control of your mind and your body is your right and nobody has the right to tell you not to use as you please under any circumstances. However, if you endanger/unduly expose any other persons while exercising control over your mind and body, you violate their right to be free from this inappropriateness.
I think as long as you're not hurting anything, people should not feel right to condemn you for it. Clearly people who are extremely critical based on your motivation for drug use are just ignorant idea pushers anyway.
(some unique circumstances like addiction can make it appropriate for others to be concerned about you)

Shrooms are sacred, no doubt, but I think it's a decidedly western notion that sacred isn't sacred if it's enjoyable.

They are both using drugs cause they enjoy them, they might have some differences, but if you use mushrooms everyday, you really are not that much different than someone that smokes crack everyday. The drug is different, but someone who abuses drugs to feel good all the time, no matter what the drug are pretty much the same. Someone who steals to buy mushrooms is no better than someone who steals to buy crack. I don't know very many people that eat mushrooms everyday, but I used to know a few people that took LSD everyday, and they were no better than crackheads. Of course the drug they were using was a lot cheaper, but they were still fiends. Also, right and wrong is relative, just cause you think you are right doesn't mean you are. I disagree with most of the policies, but that doesn't mean that I am right and they are wrong, it just means I think they are wrong.
Some of you people really need to get off your high horse about thinking that you are better than other people cause you use different drugs. Who the fuck cares how anyone wants to abuse themself, you are no different then the government in some instances, thinking that its a substance issue, when in fact its a freedom issue. Just my opinion though.

I like to think you are perfectly righteous in using them for fun, so long as you can accept that your fun time might turn into a universe-pondering experience without your prior approval, and VICE VERSA!

There seems to be a few people on this forum who think using Psychedelics for recreation is a 'bad thing to do'.
I am fine with Recreational use, aslong as its done responsibly. I must admit, that I'd say 80% of the time I do mushrooms, its at a club/party. I love music on mushrooms, and I love dancing on mushrooms. However, just because I'm doing it in a 'fun' setting doesnt mean I get anything out of the trip. When I'm dancing, its so easy to get lost into my own head thinking.
