Psychedelics?

How useful are they to you?
For those that have done a fair share, why do you keep coming back? What more is there to learn? Is it just for the thrill ===.
I don't know. Help me. The last two trips have just shown me that I'm not doing anything productive (winter break). After having several high dose experiences, it seems like it's just the same old thing. Around and Around.
Share with me.
Sorry so incoherent, but I'm still buzzing pretty good.

Sometimes you need a break. I've tripped so many times but I've taken long breaks too...usually when I come away with a feeling like the one you have right now, I know I shouldn't trip for a while. Doesn't mean you have to cut them off forever. Psychedelics are so sensitive to the Here and Now, the Set and Setting...sometimes your mind isn't in a place where they can be useful tools for self development and growth, so you shouldn't try to force the issue. Take some time off, and ask yourself what you want from your psychedelic experiences, that you aren't getting now.
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

Ive done my fair share of shrooms and a bit of lucy, However its probably been a year and a half since I tripped.
I got a very profound experience out of it and learned alot about myself. I saw the self destructive behaviour and lack of direction I had and since then have done everything i can do to change that. Im sure I could shroom again tommorow, but i dont need to. Ive gotten what I needed from them, for now at least.

I think that's the problem - me.
That's why I am curious of those that continue to trip. Like myself. Am I just dense? I know the answer is me.
It seems that psychedelics are used by those that want an answer to something. I can't imagine many people enjoy high doses - as in they find the feeling pleasurable. It is quite chaotic. Or perhaps that is just me thinking.
I think I'm starting to ramble, but once you know the Truth, why do you have to continue to reassure yourself that that is indeed the Truth.

The answer, the question and the problem. They all can be you. Are you really trying to learn, expand, and incorporate, or do you like pretty colours and strange patterns? There are those that shroom to get high, and those that shroom to learn, or so it seems to me
You seem a smart guy.. Your not gonna reach a revelation everytime you shroom. I tried to learn one thing about myself every time i did.
Im probably rambling too. But what have you learned about yourself so far through shrooms?

I think that's why it's so frustrating.
"they" have shown me that I'm an addict at heart. I always have to have something, need something. That sux. Especially with the herb. Everytime, that's something that's illuminated - that I smoke too much - too my detriment.
But, call me stubborn, I do the same shit, expecting different results. I feel like my spiritual growth is stagnating, because I've been soo stubborn. I like my herb.
It's not even fun anymore. Yeah, I had a couple of laughs, but moreso, it was like a feeling of "your eyes can't get any more wide open" - this is it. This is the pure unadultered world. Like it or hate it. I feel like I broke through the "training" of society and parents - but yet I still want something more. I have "clear eyes" but I hate what I see.
I know I don't make sense. Forgive me.

...on the point of always having to have something or needing something......
I am starting to believe that psychedelics (while not addictive) are just an escape like anything else.
The answer is, and always will be, you (me). All different highways, but ultimately, when done, it's you again. ...

Well based on all you said, but mainly this quote, youve seen the truth. You have yet to act on it though.
Dude, trust me, i LOVE my beers, probably as much or more then you love your herb. Im a definite alcoholic, and it still hurts to say. But when i was shrooming last, i went to the fridge, and grabbed a beer (subconciously). And then i stopped and looked at the beer, and i thought to myself, i dont want a beer, why did i get this??
My mind said back to me, this is what you do. This is who you are.
That right there taught me how off course I was. I still drink. I probably still drink too much. But not as much as I did.
Youve reached the realizations it seems.. Your just afraid to act on them.
