Why do YOU trip?

I've got a question for all young and old alike.
It stems from a show i watched last night on VH1 called "The Drug Years". It was a show basically on why LSD was used in the late 60s early 70s. watching this, i remembered "The Psychedelic Experience" forum from shroomery.
So here's my question. Why do YOU trip? Expansion or Fun.
I'de like to make this kind of like a survey.
It seems like my generation (15-25 say) is into tripping to enjoy the company of a lava lamp instead of enjoying the company of each other and the life force of this planet.

To change the way I look at things. Life gets boring and it's good to get a different perspective on things. When I trip I make a bunch of realizations about my life that make me a happier person (in most cases).
and of course to have a damn good time. Nothin like trippin balls hahaa

To be honest, if tripping was like torture, I sure wouldn't be see ecstatic to do it. If im with a group tripping, I do if for more a good time. When I'm alone or 1 on 1 it's more of a personal reflection type thing.

i agree with both of you. I must agree that tripping wouldn't be tripping if it wasn't fun. i just feel as though we have skewed the 60s meaning of tripping.
I am a big advocate of haveing a balance of all things. "just for fun" trips and "expansion" trips should be of equal importance. But i side more with expansion like our fore fathers when it comes to preference.

I'm bored with reality. I'm still hoping that one of these trips, I will come down seeing things in a different way that will make reality more interesting or precious to me.
So I trip for psychonautical purposes. I enjoy the trips because it's fun.

I do it for fun. Most drugs seem to have that aspect so to ignore it, I believe I wouldn't be doing it to its fullest extent.
Although, that doesn't stop me from doing it for other reasons too. I'm slowly experimenting with salvia and hopefully other things soon which I acquire for insight, mental growth, etc. I like to see things in new perspectives.
I also believe we're meant to use naturally occurring psychoactives. I always feel much for happier as a whole (sober or not) and much less 'empty'. Drugs have defiantly strengthened my mind.

i like the extra layers and indulge when i wont have to drive but only enough to still talk regularly with friends or family.
on one recent plane ride, i accidentally commented on the choir music, but the guy beside me said i was imagining it.
i get extra perspective from psych's and it helps me solve problems or just breathe or both.

if i am with a few people its more for fun, to free my mind, to stick it to the man, its to party and have a good time.
by myself its more for self realization, to look inside, to become one with nature, its more of a spiritual thing alone.

I trip for both. Its so fun to see things and experience things in a different way, but at the same time Its nice to learn new things and expand thought processes.

i appreciate all your responses.
now if you wouldn't mind. I'm not trying to overthrow the gov. or anything (too hard haha).
After watching that show. I couldn't help but wish that i grew up in that time era.
Who among you would like to see a new hippie generation. A new revolution of LSD use, mind expanding, peace to the world, war ending, free love and all things like. And how do you think our country would be like if it experienced another hippie era?

I used to do it for mind expansion, but lately I feel like psychedelics have taught me about all that they can(though I still have yet to really get into DMT). At this point, I pretty much do them for partying, though I'm still interested in seeing if there's anything more they can show me.
