Yeah. They are kind of like alien elf tricksters. At heavier doses though they become more alien and even solemn but also compassionate.

Oh, I couldn't agree any more equally! In some ways, all drugs have personalities! Mary Jane, now she's a chillax girl, usually gets along well with other and all kinds of people. Lucy, she is a stern, almost devoid of any emotion chap: However she teachers order, geometry and other advanced concepts in a VERY benign manner. You gotta be an asshole to hang out with that asshole DXM...;-)
I totally "see" the personality thing. Psychedelic drugs are as complex as people, afterall.

no they are chemicals.. The effect people in certain ways. They are simply molecules that interact with your own brain mechanisms. All those "personalities" are in you.
If you listened to LSDs teachings more you would already understand that.

This would be a good premise for a story.
A group of friends: Mary Jane, some name with a reference to 'shrooms, Lucy, Dexter, a guy with a nickname of Rolly-Polly (for Ecstasy), and so on and so forth.
I think I'll try to develop this.

Oh come on, now.
If I listened to LSD's teachings, I'd already understand that? Duh! Of course those personalities are in me. You did realize I was being playful and/or metaphorical, right? You realized I said exactly what you said, and then some? It's all implied, brother.
If you understood LSD's teachings you'd be able to see where my post was coming from. Right? I mean, was the "winking face" at the end too subtle for you? LSD also teaches you to assume, right? I assumed you knew I was being playful and YOU just wanted to make a point?
Welcome to MY existence.;-)
They are "simply" chemicals that interact with your brain. That is of course if you view them as "simply" chemicals. I'm simply a chemical myself. Isn't existence SOOO worthless at times? Like now? Ahhhhh, context.

you can look at anything as if it has a personality or as if it reflects back a particular aspect or bouquet of your own personality. there is no harm is using a metaphor to better understand something complex. I like to keep my science apart from my metaphors, but one does complement the other and they coax eachother if you let them (did I just anthropomorphise science and metaphor?)

the mushrooms has always been extremely kind to me it seems. always beautiful and ecstatic experiences, profound revelation. this substance is so valuable to me. once someone i know pretty well practically begged me for some, so i gave him some, and i have never seen such an extreme reaction to anything. he was frightened, andgry merderous and suicidal, all to an unimaginably extreme level, and he was delerious. this frightened me terribly. he only ate about 3 gms. this reaction still confuses me to this day. terence mckenna once said that these mushrroms are incredibly non-toxic, but a certain user may be extremely toxix. i wonder i this young mans brain was "toxic", or if perhaps the mushrooms somehow 'didnt like him'. does anyone know what i mean by this?

Interesting.
I know a few people who have had such reactions, and all of them (though I found out only after the trips that they had) were really fucking insane on the inside, and not the good insane.
I also have had them be very kind and compassionate, opening my eyes to the beauty around me, and the truths about the world as a reflection of ourselves.
And although I have never done LSD or any of the others, I believe that they too have their space and time as teachers and guides to a better way of living, IF you are ready for their teachings.

Speaking of Terence McKenna, I've listened to most of his lectures and watched alot of his videos.. He's the reason why I got into experimenting with mushrooms and DMT and explore this strange plane of existence... I've had LSD a few times previously and never had a bad trip. However, 2 grams of mushrooms somehow put me in a semi-psychotic state so in my experience, or lack there of, I find psilocybin to be more sensitive to set/setting and other variables and deserves much more respect than a man-made substance like LSD... I just didn't understand why or how I had a bad trip but I've decided to take it as a learning experience and I obviously needed to modify certain things to achieve different effects. This weekend coming up, I'll be changing the setting to outdoors, instead of indoors, during the day instead of night time and ground up 2 grams with lemon juice (or 3.5 grams ground up, depending on my mood) instead of just chewing it and taking 2g + 1g 2.5 hours later like last time... I'll also have a benzo ready to abort as a last resort, I doubt I'll use it but it'll make me more at ease mentally and also try to chant like McKenna suggested, if I'm placed in a tough spot of looping bad thoughts...
