Excuse any incoherence as I am on a dissociative now but I had an absolutely mind blowing 600ug acid trip a few days ago and something that occurred to me during a state of euphoric, psychedelic ecstasy that is kind of hard to define an idea I had and thought about was that of using psychedelic drugs to enhance performance in sports (or even, potentially, other mentally taxing games but as this is primarily a physical sport based forum let's focus on this for the most part).
To be clear, I'm not talking about microdosing, and I'm also obviously not talking about megadosing, or any heroic but bad trip planning and experiments involving sports you've never played before while tripping so hard you can't communicate or do anything.
But just slightly past the peak of this acid trip I experienced an overwhelming feeling of purpose and meaning at one point, standing alone in my kitchen, almost moved to tears, it occurred to me that if this sort of drive could be channelled into some kind of passion there would be spectacular results, although I'm not aware of anyone who has actually used, for example, a healthy dose of acid before working out or playing some kind of sport, and obviously I can see several potential problems with this, but regardless... I would be very interested to hear if anyone has used a stimulating hallucinogen (ie, one that does not disable your body such as dissociatives) with which they are familiar, to induce a state of mind which they have used to enhance their physical aptitude either in just exercises they do every day or a specific game, competition, or just time in their life...which resulted in you doing something they would not ordinarily expect to be capable of.
Actually towards the end of the trip I started watching Muay Thai videos on YouTube which is a sport in which I practice although I have not (yet) ever competed and I remember thinking in the midst of the tail end of the trip that I recognised that feeling in the atheletes I was watching, of undeniable, burning focus from a place that, mentally, I was earlier, in that state of laser focused burning insatiable insane need to write down the sacred truths that I imagined I was the receiver of... excuse my rambling, I am still reprocessing my trip and have indulged in some other things since, but this feeling of otherworldy conviction and purpose was one of the primary things which I have tried to channel back with me into this mundane and material plane of matter. And it occurred to me that I'm sure in all sports where there is some kind of "flow state" possible, true mind expanding substances should connect to this
So I am very curious, has anyone tried to use entheogens to enhance their performance, or (most likely) as a tool to unlock any psychological barriers that might be holding you back in a physical way? Has anyone achieved anything legitimately amazing and outside their normal skill set, physically, or in the context of exercise of physical performance, either once or as a habit, while basically tripping their face off?
Having typed this post out I am feeling like it has a high chance of being some nonsensical psych-induced ego-delusion but this feeling I experienced has really peaked my interest in acid and other classical psychs as actual true, acute nootropic PEDs if you can just get past the layer of strange. I think I'm going to re-integrate and then experiment myself with non-micro but small doses before in an effort to capture that celestial nootropic effect.
