Since using this forum when I ever I take think drugs im thinking "why"
When I was mad on phet mcat mdma it just felt good so I did it
I always felt guilty after mdma but it was still about buzzing

Maybe its just were I am now in life?
Maybe its bieng part of this community?
Maybe its the nature of psyches?

Do any of you just take psychs just to buzz of it
 
I find that when one uses a Psychedelic to get "High", to "Feel Good" or to "Get Fucked Up", inevitably they have a bad trip. One should use such substances in a manner to enhance themselves, to come to conclusions about oneself. I personally don't feel Psychedelics are meant to be enjoyed recreational in a sense of "Oh my god I feel so good right now!" but more along the lines of "Wow, I never realized this before. I feel great knowing this now, this will greatly improve my life!". It's meant to be an introspective experience, in my opinion.
 
Right I can understand why you've come to that conclution
But mdma is PEA and thats def recreationional
Seems crazy it has sutch a diff purpose bit hay thats neuroscince
 
MDMA, to me, is more of a body high. Its not as much of a mind fuck, nor is it as introspective. I find an MDMA experience to be more of a "I feel so good, I just don't give a fuck" kind of experience. And while this is great, it's still very different from a typical psychedelic experience.

Both are two different kinds of drugs. Thus, two different experiences, hence two different purposes to their uses.

I think you can do both but I feel that high doses are only for what you think they are for but low doses are good for just being fucked up at a party or something

A low dose of a Psychedelic can certainly add a little to a fun party experience. I use to dose very high at Raves, but over time learned these types of trips were best left to a small group, preferably alone. I do agree though, a small dose every now and again can be enjoyable when in a social setting, as long as you are around familiar people and good vibes.

When u say low dose do u mean enoug to have visuals
 
I only take drugs to have a good time. No point having a bad time or becoming too self conscious, plenty of time to do that when I am sober. At the same time I am not one to take psychs to "get fucked up", I generally have a plan of attack or at the very least a pleasant location to trip at.

why do you say because MDMA is a phenethylamine it's recreational? There are a lot of PEAs that are far from recreational.

I've had very introspective trips on MDMA and had very meaningful realizations about myself and relationships between me and other people. It was only after I started abusing MDMA to feel fucking amazing that I "lost the magic".
 
My first psychedelic experience was with shrooms. At the time, being fairly young, I was just trying them for the sake of a novel experience, and definitely for pure fun. I was unaware of the potential for psychedelics to improve one's outlook on life at that time.

Now, I use them as entheogens, not purely recreationally, but I can't deny that for the most part they are bloody fun, and look forward to that fun.

I disagree. I've done psychedelics to the point where I was using them every week for 3 months straight. I would stop if I started feeling shitty but never had a bad trip (or even a wholly unpleasant one). They can be used recreationally, listen to your body and your mind and you won't have a bad trip.

I abused Acid for 3 months as well. Taking high doses once a week, for those entire 3 months. I never had a bad trip, I simply lost the magic. Such chemicals are best used sparingly. I always found them to be most enjoyable when used one in a while, maybe 2 or 3 times a month at the most. I've gone through the recreational phase, and personally prefer using them nowadays for enlightenment and a peek inside my soul, a way to solve thought loops and or discover new things about myself and others. Sure they are fun to take at a party and get fucked up to the point of confusion, I wouldn't consider that wrong or a bad trip, I still do that from time to time, I just don't think it's the best route to take when wanting to get the most our of the psychedelic experience.
 
I consider LSD and DOC fairly recreational... if taken at a music festival or something like that. Or even enjoying some kind of sport. Obviously you don't want to get too crazy with the doses because then it might not be so "recreational".

A low dose of mushrooms can be recreational as well. Same goes for low doses of a lot of psychedelics.

LSD may even be recreational for some people (me) at higher doses ;) ... It's all about your mind-set and intentions for the trip.
 
^ At festivals, it certainly should be yes.

I feel the psychedelic experience is both recreational and deeply introspective, which is what makes it so amazing and unique.
I've had many a trip that have been extremely recreational for the first few hours, then shit got real for a while and I was faced with some serious and sometimes deeply unsettling introspective thought, then I resolved it in my mind and went back to enjoying the trip.
In fact my last two shroom trips were really uncomfortable and intense for the first two hours, which then would just suddenly wash away and I would feel peace and happiness for the rest of the trip into the afterglow.

Set and Setting. Always.
 
So the ppl who think pshycs should be used as introsepctive tools only do you use other drugs to buz off

I take psychs because they make me feel strange and I enjoy strangeness. Having experiences that are outside of language and outside of rational, consensus reality is fun for me. I'll take psychs over straightforwardly pleasurable drugs for the same reason I'd rather watch a David Lynch film than an action blockbuster.

The whole point for me is not to arrive at solutions or conclusions to my existence, but to problamatize it. The psychedelic experience for me always raises more questions than it answers. That's my idea of a good time.

Wiked answer
Cos sometimes its good to know how it feels to turn into a unicycle
 
I often use psychedelics recreationally. However, the most insightful trips always stand out in my mind as the "best", rather than the most fun. The insight, however, is always just an incidental side-effect of trying to have fun.

Maybe I consider it fun to have mindblowing insights?

I don't know. Recreational vs. therapeutic / introspective usage seems like a completely false dichotomy. Almost always, pleasure is intrinsically tied to progress: almost all forms of "play" are really just ways of exercising our minds and bodies, becoming healthier and stronger. And conversely, all of the labor we do, is ultimately aimed toward producing fun as the result. The reason we work hard to earn money, for instance, is so that we can spend that money on living a comfortable and enjoyable life.

Moral of the story: work and play are the same thing.
