It seems like whenever I take psychedelic hallucinogens "every once in a while" (like, every couple or few months) the effects I get are almost purely hedonistic, it's like taking a strong euphoric stimulant with visual hallucinations attached. But if I take psychedelics fairly regularly, like once a week or even once every couple weeks, then the introspective and "mindfuck" stuff rears its head. I know that some people place a lot of value on the mental/emotional introspection of psychedelics, and yeah I've found it valuable at times too, but mostly I want this class of drug to act as a kind of atypical anti-depressant for me, and too much introspection makes me depressed. TBH.
Can anyone else relate to this? That one aspect of a drug's effect profile only begins to make an appearance with regular use? For additional context, the drug I'm mostly referring to here is LSD, which is what I have experience with more than any other psychedelic (by far). Second is psilocybin, every other one (mescaline, DMT, AL-LAD) I've only done once or twice.
