Am I alone here? Does anybody else here really just not enjoy psychedelics?

I think basically, some people enjoy roller coasters others don't. There's probably hundreds of reasons for a disinterest/fear/content not to use/to busy with IRL/etc.. with regard to psychs. It's not like you can go about your day, psychs are work, not just pure pleasure all the time.

It's like how I know riding a literal roller coaster again will be fun, but I'm not going to fucking Ohio or six flags anytime soon..
 
I'm definitely not a fan. I like to feel good and in my case, psychedelics make me anxious. I think it's that I don't like feeling completely out of control. Give me a nice nod any day.
 
I have not met many drugs I did not like.

I definitely had my best drug experiences on psychedelic drugs like shrooms, lsd, dxm (yes I love that stuff and its otc), and mdma.

Ironically enough my DOCs have been the ones that have cause me the most misery, pain, alienation, breakups, loss of money, arrests, loss of friends, and have been cause be of being disinherited by my parents and disowned by most my family. (Grandparents still adore me though, I am the only one who visits them and I take care of my grandmother by doing her grocery shopping, errands, and cooking)

I never understood why everybody loves dxm. It makes me violetnly sick to the stomach for some reason. And most of the ''trip'' is focused on that. I can see how you can enjoy it if doesnt cause you stomach discomfort. I prefer K and PCP to dxm to loooool
 
It seems most of you are writing off psychedelics based off of shroom trips, which tend to be most peoples introduction into psychedelics, myself included. I never understood why mushrooms are a lot more common then other psychedelics other than the ease of growing and obtaining them, plus the whole "natural" thing that appeals to people. Shrooms aren't exactly the most euphoric social psychedelic out there and can be downright gloomy which I can see turning people off when, through movies, tv shows, those urban legends about what psychs do to people, end up not being true. I think things like 2cb, 2cc, and other mentally light, yet very in your face visually and very euphoric (at least with 2cb) would be a much better introduction for most people into psychs. But again they aren't for everyone, you really need to pick and choose who to do them with, and In my instance, never plan a trip out or be overly expectant of something because more often then not you'll be disappointed, let the drug take the wheel and go with the flow. Let it live up to its namesake "tripping". I love psychs, dissociatives are my favorite group of drugs (I know some people don't consider them true psychedelics, I disagree) followed by opiates.
 
I think I reached simply reached a point of diminishing returns- I had gotten everything that I could get out of psychedelics that I was gonna get any continuing to use them wasn't gonna have any additional positive effects. In my opinion, as far as drugs go, psychedelics aren't particularly fun drugs to take...if you're not going to learn anything about yourself, if it's not going to be a 'spiritual' experience or however you wanna phrase it then what's the point? There are better things to take.

That said I do still take Ketamine fairly regularly (though that's not a 'true' psychedelic) and I still smoke DMT now and again. I still enjoy DMT and I always feel like I get a lot out of it, I've never walked away from a DMT trip without having learnt something...I think that's what I've lost with other psychedelics, the last dozen or so times I took psychedelics I didn't 'gain' anything from the experience.

So these days fuck LSD, DOX, 2C-X, X-NBOME whatever. They last too long and their main effect is to make me feel really anxious and crazy for 6-36 hours. I don't regret my experiences with psychedelics, but I'm pretty sure the door is closed on that part of my life. I'm pretty certain I'm never gonna take LSD again. Mescaline & DMT (plus dissociatives if you count them) are the only psychedelics I'd consider taking these days...oh and DPT and other unsubstituted-DMT analogues, which are more or less the only psychedelics I haven't tried.

How many people over the age of ~25 can really afford to waste an entire day being schizophrenic anyway?
 
I did 10 hbwr seeds yesterday (chewed and swallowed), and I just felt lethargic and kind of depressed.
I had a similar reaction to mushrooms a few months back....
Maybe the suboxone I take hinders the psychedelics, or maybe I'm also past the point of enjoying them. (Although sativa weed does still work for me).
 
i had 1 good trip, others were terrible. then after i became so paranoid....so no. ill never touch them again. it would be a disaster waiting to happen.
 
I'm depressed so I'm leaving psychedelics alone for the moment. It's not that I don't enjoy them, I just don't think I would enjoy them in the state I am in right now.

Otherwise I do enjoy the occasional trip every other year but it's nothing I give much of a thought in between. I find psychedelic trips to be pretty exhausting mentally and when I've had one, I usually don't want another one for a long time.

I AGREE. I tried DXM and fell asleep.. I woke up in the middle of the night and i thought i was literally gonna fucking die. I've OD'd on opiates before and this felt 10 times worse.. I was sick to my stomach and i could barely move. Never doing that shit again. It was stupid.
 
I tried DXM a few times, maximum dose was 700mg I think. It was dissociating without much euphoria. Nothing to write home about really, mostly made me feel weird. Maybe I should have done more but it felt like the side effects would become too annoying.
 
I tried DXM once and it was alright. I mainly just layed in my bed, listening to music, while having crazy ass visuals. Idk, I probably won't do it again unless it's laying around the house & I'm desperate for a cheap thrill.
 
I couldn't walk at all. Everything looked and felt strange but i was so sick it was not worth it.

I don't think most control freak types don't like psychs; drugs where some lack much of any control on... but do like uppers..

This is so me.
I kind of like psychs, but hate the mindfuck/confusion when people talking, trying to keep up with their thoughts. I HAVE to be in control of everything ME so things like shrooms where the mind is racing and connecting all sorts of random points just almost annoy me.
Low dose trips annoy me because I mostly just get a bit of a bodyload which only goes or is manageable at much higher doses
 
BLASPHEMY!!! Nah but even though i love psychs i can understand why some people don't, like whats already been said it can bepretty hard to keep in control on high doses and for some even low doses which leads to the user trying to fight it which is the worst thing u can do while tripping. Psychs are just so much different than most other drugs as the majority of drugs that aren't psychs are either numbing, euphoric(not saying psychs can't be) or controlable. Not only that but if i take xanax one day and take it the next day theres not gonna be a remarkable difference effects wise but the same can't be said for psychedelics, you just dont know if ur gonna come out of a trip the same person but thts a gamble im more than willing to risk because usually even if the trip is difficult i usually learned something from it, even if its as little as "I'll never disrepect this chem or dose to high again"
 
There not strictly "feel good" drugs, I guess that's why people have reservations. Is weed a psychedelic? If so, then I smoked some pure sativa recently, and had the best time I've had in ages. (Very energetic and cerebral, almost dream-like). I'm considering taking DXM later in the week.

When I look back, psychedelic drugs have made up only a tiny percentage of my drug using "career".
 
Well I am in love with LSD but as I close in on 40 I count exactly one person I grew up with who still does it. OP you are not alone most of my friends I could call and ask them if they want to come over and trip for free and they almost all say hell no. I would say aversion to this class of drugs is very normal. It just seem like it's more popular on BL. I would say I know more people who would be down with a mushroom trip over LSD, maybe its length of trip or whatever.
I think it's only a very few people who are meant to trip for long periods of time. I took a long time off though too, it would be nice to say I got the message and hung up the phone but I will be honest, I had a scary as shit experience. It took a long time to get back on the horse. I think a lot of people have a bummer and say fuck that 10 or 100 great trips are not worth that. I totally understand that viewpoint.
I also have health issues that make things like cocaine or MDMA a little too risky. No one dies from LSD or mushrooms or DMT. The safety factor is a huge selling point for me.
I also don't take it for spiritual reasons, I take it for fun. My last trip was at a football game. I find way too many people are taking it for some deeper insight into themselves or whatever. It's still just a drug, it hasn't changed me for better or worse. And LSD is highly under rated as a sex drug.
But actually the current world supply probably can't handle a bunch of new acid heads, so maybe it's a good thing its not that popular.
 
I'm a long term opiate addict, trying to recover, current benzo addict, that enjoys a good speedball.

No interest in trying LSD. Am neutral on Mushrooms, they certainly have their place. I don't consider them "fun" but I do consider them worth dosing now and again. The only psychedelic I can claim to love is DMT. And MDMA if you consider it one.

Well this is where the whole drugs effect people differently thing comes into play, I can take a 4 sub tryptamine really any time of the day/day of the week have my trip, weather or not its a mindblowing "learn something about myself" type trip or a non stop gut busting laughter, goofy wacky adventure, and then go about my day as usual. I'll agree though for something that's going to last 8hrs plus needs much more perfect timing to partake. To me psychedelics are by far the most fun drug there is out there to take, psychedelic euphoria is the most impressive euphoria imo. And I definitely consider most dissociatives psychedelic, what else could you call a k hole or an m hole? I usually gain more from them than any other experience, as well as with dpt like you said. I feel dpt has much more time to let the trip sink in and understand it and not where with dmt half the time when you snap out of it you're just like what the hell was that? Every drug has diminishing returns if you use it to much, but that's the thing with psychedelics, its different every time, you could have had a few underwhelming, let down type trips for your last couple, then the next one throws you for a complete loop and you're left in awe at what you just experience. Not everyone mid 20's plus, has taken the stereotypical path of whats looked at as a "normal life" where you have 6-7 hours of the day to your self and then the weekend, And if I/anyone else did I would cherish those few precious hours and would look at any type of mental adventures as anything but a "wasted day." I've gotten what you've gotten with psychedelics only with me its stimulants. I used to be a nearly every day 2-3.5 gram coke user for 6 years and it didn't effect me negatively at all, didn't ruin my life or anything, just left me with lots of crazy memories I'll always look back at in a positive light, but these days stimulants of any kind %75 of the time leave me anxiety ridden and strung out waiting for them to take there course and wear off. I do sometimes partake but not at all like I used to but doubt I'll ever go back to those days.
 
Man I've just gotten all that I need from psychedelics. I've binged on them. I was into strong trips and visuals at first then I cooled down to more coherent lower doses. I don't feel like they can teach me anything nowadays maybe in the future. I just like to take drugs to relax nowadays, not to delax.
