Healing yourself from many trips

Pans-Advocate said:
I'd say break for 40 days. In fact, to get the most out of it, for a REAL experiment, take a break from ALL mind alterants (including nicotine, caffeine, weed, and alcohol) for that long. Then, after 40 days, see if you learned anything.

If this sounds difficult, that's a pretty good indication that you should try it.

QFT bolded, but wait 60 days instead.
 
I trip usualy every 40 days and it still feels like too much.One high dose mega epic trip after long break is better than milion same dose trips every two days.
 
Stop doing ALL DRUGS for 6 months and then take only plant-entheogens about once a month at the most.

plant-drugs? Are you suggesting him switch to taking opium? Or how about dratura?

As if the origin of chemical makes a difference in effect. Get real.
 
Plant-drugs like Iboga and Ayahuasca which can actually healed damaged receptors in the brain.

You get real.
 
Whats your point? Ketamine and DXM have been shown to prevent certain forms of neurotoxicity.

Where a compound originates makes no difference in how the body perceives it.
 
You are becoming more accustomed to the psychedelic mind state and visuals. That is why they arent as intense as before.

Taking a long break would help.

Or if its just visuals you want then do some whip-its or smoke some DMT while already tripping. That will surely bring the visuals out.
You can also try increasing your dose but that will come with an increase in your mental trip aswell so be careful.
 
That is pretty heavy use. maybe go once a month at reasonable doses until you realize a change, or set a special occasion in the future at least 50 days in the future. or if you smoke weed, cut that out for a while, it tends to adapt me to constant visual noise but can really get a lightshow if I don't smoke up for a while.

Very well put Delsyd, that makes a lot of sense. I really am becoming accustomed to the psychedelic mindset, like i said it wasn't until June that I started, and october when it really picked up. I always trip with others or else its useless and their trips remind me of my first... oh im rambling.

But I really appreciate you (and the handful of other dedicated and well educated) who write great responses.
 
Do you have a source for that? You are saying that these substances can correct brain damage you realise?

Heal, reset, restore.

W/e you wanna call it, maybe I'm using the wrong terminology.
 
1) Stop tripping.
2) Start taking vitamins.
3) Start exercising. Gym 4-5 times a week if possible.
4) Watch your nutrition. Balance properly.
5) Watch your sleep cycles. Balance properly.
6) Experiment with nootropics (piracetam, 5-HTP, choline, etc.)
7) Meditate.

You will come back... I've been where you are. It's just a matter of time. Follow steps 1 through 7 + any other good advice you get, and you're on your way to normalization. ;)

i do maybe like half of 1 of those things listed. doesnt sound good lol. ill take some daily vitamin c tablets when i remember. im also vegetarian, but i eat more unhealthy stuff.

yet somehow i feel like ive been taking it real easy, im on my second week not trippin cus i have some deadlines to meet for some stuff, and some things to catch up in some classes.

wait, i tripped this weekend a few times on dmt. i forgot about that, its so short yet so wonderful!
 
i just wanted to say, i keep reading people saying that tripping frequently often takes the "magic" out of it.

I respect other peoples opinions and of course you start battling tolerance and being used to the effects, but for me, i cant say I agree that the magic disappears. hell wth good acid, spaced three days apart i could be happy as a clam. tripping doesnt have to be just one thing. I like to trip and work on projects, or trip and really absorb a book i have been dying to read. or trip and watch a great movie.
or trip and go for a walk. or do some writing. get shit done. talk on the phone for hours and hours. whatever. for me it turns me into a worker bee, or a space cadet or strange bird on any old day of the week.

sometimes i take a good break and come back and trip my face off. but sometimes its the more frequent trips, where i have my bearings and its integrated into my daily life, where i make the most connections and have the most life changing insights.

i just love the way my brain works on acid.

visuals are great but i see them more like the sideshow.

although i must say, the first time i threw in 30mg of 2cb with acid, i said, wow, i havent hallucinated like that since i was a kid. and it WAS real nice to just sit back and watch.

but i dont think it loses its magic when its a frequent thing. just a different kind of magic.


so in answer to the question

if you want more visuals, wait. or take more. or get into a really paranoia inducing situation ;)... but seriously set and setting can really help get rid of tolerance. go out of town or something.


but you might also want to step back and think about what exactly you expect out of tripping. are you doing it just for the visuals? or for the way music sounds?
what good things is it teaching you? and are there any negative effects? and consider whether or not you always need to have mind-blowing experiences with it.


i think you said this is your first year or two of tripping?

it might sound corny to some but I wish i had kept better journals of my first few years tripping....to see the changes that were taking place in me, and so I could look back and laugh at some of the trip reports. it can be hard to remember all of that 20yrs down the road.

some people click with psychedelics on a level where they like to immerse their lives in them constantly. I havent met too many in the real world, but I see their posts on here and it makes me smile.

others like to just come back a few times a year or once a month.

whatever works.


and a fun thing to do while you ARENT tripping can be to do a bit of reading up on the history, etc....ACID DREAMS (great book) etc.

also....i know that for me, in my first year or two or three of tripping, a lot of things about me were changing very fast. i actually took a year off to take stock of who i was becoming and what the permanent changes were going to be.

i am rambling and i dont know if any of this makes any sense.

anyway...good luck with whatever you decide to do.
 
Support with the rambling, whenever im not on a psychedelic im always looking up info on them, reading, even buying books about them. Right now I'm a freshman who is planning on majoring in psychology, but as it looks now i really want a degree in psychopharmacology or neuroscience, or even bio-chemistry (the latter being a snowballs chance in hell that I'll commit to all that work :) )

They cause plenty of their own through NMDA receptor damage.
 
I actually agree with the ayahuasca idea, it might be worth a shot. Although I'd say pharmahuasca, because ayahuasca isn't nearly as good. Harmala is neuroprotective, and DMT is quite benign, so it wouldn't cause damage. Also, you'll trip quite hard, I also find it to be one of the most gentle and welcoming psychedelics, as do many other people (some would disagree). I also find smoked DMT to be gentle though. Incredably intense and visual, but it's more gentle then acid for me.

Ultimatly though, you should just take a break from psychedelics. You can get more out of them if use is moderate and long term instead of frequent and short term, and burning out sucks. I'm currently taking a break from tripping (the only psychedelic I'd do right now would be 4-HO-MIPT or maybe DMT and I'd only do DMT if someone gave it to me) and it's working quite well.

Opium is far safer then psychedelics. Opiates cause no physical or mental damage. I do agree with you though, synthetics are no more dangerous then plant drugs (to go back to the opium example, opium is worse then many synthetic opiates).

Opium is defintely more dangerous then most psychedelics; its pretty hard to overdose on psychedelics an happens VERY rarely; many people have died from opiate use. Psychedelics do no physical damage to the brain at all.
 
I'm currently in the middle of a break from psychs (indeed I am on a break from everything) at the moment for similar reasons. Not a long one, as I hadn't even 'lost the magic' per se, I simply wanted to wait a long time, then have a special experience. One big special experience, which is how I think psychs should be.

Now, I'm only taking one month off. I've not lost any magic. I'm not even that experienced. I just think that these things should be special.

Just before your break is over, begin the extraction of something (mescaline is a good one for a beginner, or DMT) and plan a special weekend to go camping, or somewhere special for you. Bring someone close to you, and then take a fairly heavy to heavy dose, within responsible limits. I'll leave it up to you to decide what 'responsible limits' are, it varies for everyone.

I find that if you extracted/created the substance yourself it's a lot more rewarding. Unless you doubt your own chemistry while you're tripping :p
