How can I encourage my girlfriend to open up to psychedelics?
      09/02/15 10:07 PM

First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum and I'd appreciate it if a mod could move it to the right place.

Anyway, my girlfriend and I have tripped together a couple times, but both times the doses were low (1.5g of shrooms and 1 weak tab of acid respectively) and she left the experience underwhelmed. Now she has zero interest in psychedelics and has completely dismissed the idea of ever taking them again. This isn't surprising as she was terrified of psychedelics to begin with and I figured that she would probably never take them again unless she had an amazing experience, which I had hoped for.

This is frustrating to me for a few reasons. First, I'm an enthusiastic psychedelic user and I have such an amazing time on them that I'd love to share it with the girl I love, especially since I felt such an amazing connection with her that I'd never felt before the first time I ever tripped with her (on some 4-AcO-DMT, she was sober). It's just so frustrating that she's forgoing so many amazing experiences just because of closed-mindedness.

Next and more importantly, she and I both suffer from some pretty poor mental health, in her case, she has severe death-related anxiety and depression, and I feel like psychedelics could really help her break out of some of her destructive thought patterns. Psychedelics have personally done a lot of good for me, and she seems to have completely written off the possibility that they could help because she had an underwhelming experience the last time and thinks that tripping "isn't worth all the anxiety".

Is there any way I could convince her to come around? It seems she has a skewed view of what tripping is supposed to be. For example, she told me she's terrified of the idea because it involves being "completely out of your mind for 5-8 hours", that "there's too much pressure to have a realization or epiphany or some shit", and that she "already feels too much", making a drug that increases empathy sound overwhelming. Is there any way I can convince her to drop her prejudices? She's pretty stubborn when it comes to her beliefs and I can't think of any way to persuade her besides attempting to accurately describe the psychedelic experience to her. I could always show her some of the medical data, but I'm sure that would be no good because she's convinced she legitimately knows all that the psychedelic experience has to offer.

I am planning on starting a mushroom grow very soon (might buy the supplies Friday) so I'll probably have a surplus of shrooms on hand pretty regularly. That should at least provide more opportunities for her and I to have a spontaneous trip or something.

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! :peace:
