Why do we keep going back?

[Divine Moments]

I learn something new every trip, good or bad.

This. Every trip has something different to offer

Transcendental rapturous ecstasy is a rare thing to come by, so when you find what works....

Just like many people enjoy horror films that scare the shit out of you, a psychedelic experience can be intriguing, exhilarating and compelling even when it is frightening. Adventurers do not let their fear stop them from exploring new worlds. Rather, they embrace the fear and use it to heighten awareness as they embark on a journey.

Why do we get a sick thrill out of sitting on a cold toilet seat?

I have never had a trip i consider bad....

Even the salvia trip that made me say that i would never do salvia again.

That being said, the next time i drop acid im going to eat like 5 hits of blotter that are dosed in the several hundred microgram range... If your going to trip, trip balls...

I can't say I've ever really had a trip thats made me think "never again"...

I've had a few paranoid JWH-018 trips, but Shrooms, LSD, 2c's, salvia have always either been good or neutral for me

I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.

Because it's always different, I never know fully what to expect going into it, and I'm always discovering new things about myself and the world around me during trips. Also, despite a lot of trips having good and bad (well, rough anyway) parts, overall every time I've tripped I've gained something out of it, and there's been more good than bad.
I tend to have fairly bad anxiety at the beginning of most trips (the "why do I keep doing this?!" as i deal w/ nausea and anxiety at the start), but a short time later I always realize why I keep doing it, and that's the part that lasts.

I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.

When I was younger, and living in ignorance of psychedelic drugs, I longed to be an adventurer, discoverer, and pioneer; and hence it deeply troubled me that I lived in the era of airplanes and satellite imaging. I used stare at the big, world map which decorated my childhood home's basement wall, lamenting the finely mapped coastlines of every continent and island. I believe that, among other reasons, my interest in psychedelics stemmed from the uncharted metaphysical territory that became reachable through these chemical tools.

I believe we come back because of the extraordinary nature of trips. Even if we have a bad trip there is still something magic about it. And when you have learned to love this magic there is no turning back.
