Esoteric Why do you take psychedelics

To beat boredom. To laugh, to remember, to cry in a cathartic way I can't when sober, to see the beauty in nature. Above all to feel euphoric and full of life.
 
Sounds like everyone is all across the board. I look forward to days where I have the perfect set-setting— at home or in nature, no nagging doubts about life, nothing important to do, no deadlines stressing me, wife is busy or absent... If all the boxes are ticked then the brain gets a dose of kaboom juice. Sometimes I have dosed and regretted it, felt like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. But that’s fine. I don’t know if I have more to discover (I probably do…), but like rewatching a good movie, I am happy to relive these wild psychological experiences time and time again.
 
Various reasons, various substances, various doses.

Anti-depressant effects, relaxation, ego softening, partying, reading, turning off my mind, opening my heart, exploring the universe ... .

I don't believe in "if you get the message, hangup the phone." I believe in an on-going dialogue with my mind, with and without psychedelics.
 
One of the biggest reasons for me tripping is to reset my mind and body.

Also, whenever I'm tripping I feel like I feel God's love and everything is so beautiful!! I love that feeling so much that I consistently go back for that effect.

Reintegration after tripping is very healing for me as well.

There are lots of good reasons to trip.
 
Haha. Because I am at a point presently potentially forever maybe not time will tell...

Where I cannot take psychedelics at all it seems, any dose especially large without such truly uncomfortable experience.

But LSD would perhaps be more contraindicated here vs others I'd have been diving into except allergic to them all.

Psilocybin may be far more physically gentle on my damaged Nervous System, the problem, and not at all from drugs either.


Late 2021, it still amazes me how I broke my back and more, still took 3 mg's of Acid 1st 14 days following.

1000, 800, 1200.

It was no difficulty but this year, physical nerve damage been level up, plus exhaustion and trauma from pain scrapping to live often.



But.....

Otherwise, I would take some trips now, at this time of severe depression, isolation, total loss of will to communicate

To sort my head out emotionally it's like a browser refresh like @simstim says.

Hey buddy, I'm gonna get you those tracks swear sorry f ignorance still been in some hell.

So many wicked ones too. People don't understand how brilliant that era & scene was.

It never gets old.
 
For fun mostly. I have also used them to improve my life by making it more interesting and for the afterglow, but that messed me up for a while. I had minor HPPD for a while last year, and I haven't tripped much since then because I was trying to improve myself, which meant I wasn't surrounding myself with the people I usually did drugs with. I actually had a very profound experience on MDMA just about a month ago. I have never had such an experience on any other psychedelic, probably because the dose is usually low and I'm just trying to have fun and not taking anything too seriously.
 
No single reason. They have pro’s and con’s.

They can produce simple amusement or what seems like profound insight. Great joy, transcendent euphoria or existential terror, death of the self.

They are so unpredictable that I sometimes take them spontaneously and deliberately ignoring set and setting (usually set) because it seems like a Who Dares Wins gamble and a way to overcome ennui and lethargy.

But today I’m going to take them because I just realised that taking $7 worth of LSD is a cheap and effective chemical restraint that will prevent me from leaving my house and spending at least $1,000 on stimulants, socialising, Uber, and benzos. Which I might waste today given then mood I’m in.

Maybe $14 to be sure.
 
over 200 trips later, i thought i had it all worked out. Psychedelics are not the answer to life. Everything happens in your head. I use to be one of those spiritual folk i had many ego deaths and even worked out to induce them on acid. In the end i just let people do whatever they want with them now. I stopped caring about it all. I tripped heaps learnt a ton only to realize later on in life that we will never find out what happens after this life if anything does aswell.

Psychedelics can lead to people believing in sorts of wack shit aswell i was one of those folk.

Trip for whatever reason you want. I did it for the transcendent moments, visuals, spiritual feeling and trying to heal all my trauma from the abuse i suffered growing up from society.
