whenever i see something cool all i can think about is what it would be like if i was tripping or whenever i am bored i imagine what it would be like to be tripping right now. i dont like that i do this because then it just makes me sad that i am not tripping..

does anyone else do this

thoughts?

comments?

inquires?

statements?

phrases?

nuggets
 
An obsession some would classify as addiction.

Welcome to the Club :|
 
You may have an addictive/obsessive personality like me and many others. I get like that sometimes and I don't like it just because I feel like I should be able to enjoy things sober- just for what they are.

I guess it helps to have lots of hobbies and things to occupy your mind with.
 
Be thankful that you have the experience to know what it would be like to see these things while tripping. So many others don't.

i dont think i have an addictive personality even though i do smoke pot constantly every day..

but on the lighter side i can usually enjoy things more sober than i did before i started tripping (say for example nature)
 
Yeah there's always two sides to things like this :) My life is more complicated and honestly more stressful since I've been tripping, but at the same time infinitely more interesting. The highs are higher, lows lower in some cases.
 
I've found psychedelics to be very enticing too.

After experiencing profound things.

It's understandable to want to do them again and reach that same state of being.
 
Just limit your wondering/wanting. Look at things with as psychedelic of an eye as you can in that particular present moment. Do not think about "if I was tripping it would look more like this or feel more like that" because that is just holding some excuse for not experiencing the present moment over yourself. It limits your experience.
 
I was obsessed with tripping when I first started it. I would just think about my next trip constantly. Its been three years since my first trip and I've gotten about 200 trips under my belt. I love tripping, its one of my favorite activities but I've gotten over the need to obsess over it. I have no problems waiting 6 months between LSD trips now, I don't even think about it. LSD finds it's way to me a few times a year and when that happens I eat it. It could be five years until my next trip but it wouldn't bother me much. I've excepted that it is guaranteed that I will trip again because I don't ever plan on quitting LSD. When my next trip takes place isn't very important to me anymore because I know that it will take place as long as I wait for it.
I no longer need molecules like LSD to see the wold in an LSD like frame of mind. I've spent so much time under the influence of LSD that I still view the world as if I were tripping. I enjoy it just as much as I did when I started but I no longer serves the same purpose; to me it has become much less of a tool and more of a recreational drug.

I guess my point of this TLDR post it that the obsession should pass. My obsession led to me taking more trips than I should have, but it eventually passed and no magic was lost.
 
I have a deep interest in these things, which leads me to read about them like this almost everyday, but this of course spans out into fields of psychology, meditation, religion and general living. It's my dream to run away and train to become a shaman. Until then, I'll struggle on integrating shamanism into modern life.

But fuck it, I love it, and its better than my previous obsession with RPG's and drinking. Psychedelic plants have not stopped helping me since I first encountered them in January.
 
Sometimes I will do something and think that it would be so much fun while tripping, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it at the time. I just make a not of shit like that for what to do the next time I do drugs
 
for me, its like mistajeff said... i was SERIOUSLY obsessed with tripping when i first started (also about three years ago, incidentally), but as time has gone on it has become less and less of an obsession. i still love it though. :)

don't feel bad for obsessing about the psychedelic experience, it can be very amazing! just don't let it make the rest of your life too much worse!
 
I have been doing psychs for about 12-13 years and I still love it!

I think less about it and have less time for it. But I still love it. :)
 
^ this

I've been taking psychedelics for about 10yrs now, and when I first got into them, especially LSD, i did obsess over it and trip way too frequently. Now I don't really obsess over actually tripping, but sometimes I do find myself obsessing over information about psychedelics. I can easily spend a whole day reading studies & papers, flipping through pihkal & tihkal etc. I've had to make it a point to have some non-psychedelic hobbies in order not to go totally off the farm and not be able to have normal everyday conversations with people.

Keeping a good balance between these things is sometimes difficult, and an ongoing process, but I find both of these aspects of my life worthwhile
