Neither are anti-psychotics. I've helped my own blood come off those nasty ass drugs and I would do it again in a heart beat.Psychedelics are not for everybody.
Geographically and historically, yes it is westernized.There's nothing western about that viewpoint, unless you're equating legitimate science with the west, which I feel like is pretty insulting to nonwestern cultures.
It may have just been a visual representation of the reptilian part of brain which we all have, it is mostly concerned with survival so may carry with it selfish traits we may interpret as dark or evil
Exactly.The only difference is they didn't consistently use the scientific method
Now tell me where the Scientific Method even slightly suggest the OP should start downing anti-psychotics.
I've only dismissed the idea that the OP should start taking anti psychotics for no reason other than people on here are suggesting to take it. That's harmful to assume he has a mental illness and start making prescriptions when we nothing about the OP. That's exactly the type of harm that "westernized" medicine has brought to our society. We need to take a step back if we are to see the big picture.Dismissing them out of hand because of some ignorant idea about evil western medicine is harmful to those people.
I think the recommendation for antipsychotics was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I'm sure DrGreenthumb isn't seriously suggesting that the OP actually start self-medicating with antipsychotics... it sounds like he's making fun of the OP for talking bullshit. It does read like it was written by somebody who was, shall we say, not in control of all their faculties.I've only dismissed the idea that the OP should start taking anti psychotics for no reason other than people on here are suggesting to take it.

Maybe the OP is just creative. There is no need to jump to conclusions here.
And I'm sure he can speak for himselfI think the recommendation for antipsychotics was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I'm sure DrGreenthumb isn't seriously suggesting...
I'm sure he can.And I'm sure he can speak for himself
Did you seriously just make the implication that MOST of the people here that use metaphors have psychiatric disorders?There's no evidence he's using metaphor.If you're assuming everyone who posts about demons and time travel and the like around here is speaking in metaphor you're sorely mistaken. Most of these people are worsening their very real psychiatric disorders with drug use.
No one is advocating self administering antipsychotics. That's ludicrous. Stop inventing silly nonexistent things to oppose.
a RESPONSIBLE BL user would use harm-reduction by saying "go to sleep, if these delusions continue talk to a doctor, try to get on anti-psychotics"
Antipsychotics will be better for you than psychedelics if you believe any of this.

Did you read this thread at all?
OK, but you didn't ask him yourself you just admitted to saying it's not a metaphor, so it sounds like you don't need to ask because you already have the answer.No, I made the implication that the threads about demons and shit are not metaphor. Why don't you ask the authors? They tend to make it pretty clear. The OP here was talking about getting an exorcism done by a priest. Doesn't sound like a metaphor to me, champ.
Yes. There is a very real thing called doctor shopping, and that's one of the inherent things that happens when you go see a doctor for one drug you have never been prescribed before.Yeah I did. Do you honestly think those people are advocating self medicating with antipsychotics? One of the quotes you used contained the words "see a doctor."
Are you for real?
Surprised at how many people think the OP was actually possesed while tripping, or that it's very possible. You were tripping ... you weren't possesed . If people wanna keep spoon feeding nonsense that's okay, but threads like this make PD look like a welcome home to delusion, the cooky corner of BL. The MXE threads are pretty bad as well. I should say that I'm no stranger to some weird stuff during trips, but possesion???
Inb4 hateful sillyness...
Well after an initial flurry of 'demon-enablers', there have been lots of posts arguing against the literal reality of demonic possession (only some of them insultingly). In an open forum that's all we can hope for isn't it? Maybe you should provide more arguments yourself to tip the balance.
Yes. Whenever I'm tripping hard I tend to go pretty loopy, especially on acid. Often I burst out laughing at some of the silliness that goes through my head.Don't you have a "far out" story to tell in your psychedelic usage history? Most people have a very strange trip every now and then, no?
Just because somebody chooses not to believe in something it doesn't mean that it does not exist.
