Im interested in the stories i hear about people not being the same after taking psychedelics. I was wondering if anybody would be willing to share their story about someone you knew who kinda wasnt the same after psychedelics... In what way did it change them??? And, if you got to find out, what made them act that way???

Thanks
 
All kinds of people. I went crazy using psychedelics myself but after taking a two year hiatus returned to them and things have been fine. Know your limitations and try to moderate yourself accordingly. Psychedelics change the way you perceive yourself and the world. What is crazy?
 
crazy is when you lose touch with reality, are unable to contextualise thoughts and experiences

So what happened when you "went crazy"? Like what was different; thought process, sociability, mood, etc.?
 
I would like to blame my problems in life on the scores maybe hundreds (if count DMT) times I have tripped but I was a fuck up beforehand so I can't.

I do know people who have gone a little wacko, if turning into a hippie counts as going crazy. I think it does.
 
A friend of mine developed paranoid schizophrenia when he was 19 or so, after a guy he knew thought it would be funny to dose him unknowingly with about 100 hits of acid. his guy had done acid (in normal doses) before and been fine. he spent years in and out the psych ward after this, and is still struggling a lot with voices/paranoid delusions/etc., 10 years later.
 
Yeah, just go over to PD and you'll see psycho-babble started every day.
 
One of my close friends kind of went crazy after a bad trip at his dad's place. I was there, nothing bad really happened, just a few of us tripping blastin' some tunes all night.
His father was in another part of the house so he didn't even saw us but my friend kept thinking about that and really affected him (he was dealing with some other things related to his father and stuff too at the time, nothing super serious).
He used to be a big stonner at the time and after that night he stopped smoking weed and using other drugs except maybe a little alcohol. He had to stop everything because he was having symtoms of HPPD and general anxiety. That was almost a year ago and I think he is alright now (haven't seen him in some time but we talked not too long ago).
I think it ended up being a good thing for him because he had the opportinity to change some things in his life, he is still sober as well.

Had some other friend who also went "crazy", in another way though. He changed A LOT, he now believes we were slaved by some aliens millions of years ago and other things like that, it's too long to explain but it's something like what the scientologists believe. He dropped college and started going to meditation sessions instead.

Complete loss of self-identity. I didn't have a clue who I was supposed to be anymore. Like being disconnected with everything. Inability to connect with family and loved ones. Awkwardness and a lack in self-confidence. I just was totally not myself.
I have gotten much better now the past two years. I am on medication which allows me to function quite well. I feel better overall and accept that I will never be who I was before drugs. But we all change anyway no matter what, and as someone else already pointed out most people that this happens to already have underlying issues. I certainly did. Not to mention I had no self-control and abused all types of drugs for many years. I like who I am now but I still have a ton of issues.
 
I can't say that I have, actually.

I know plenty of people who have tripped pretty hard and got a little lost but came back stronger than before.

And I know a lot of people who take LOTS of psychedelics.
 
I feel like if i had continued taking psychedelics that something like that would happen to me. I am one of those people that just do not react well to those type of drugs. I feel like i had already started to feel like that after i had shrooms just once and a small dose of dxm a couple weeks later.

I didnt really have any delusions... but i was always depressed and i would dwell on the fact that everything in this world is made of smaller things which made me view the world as a meaningless bunch of atoms and cells and subatomic particles...

even when i looked at a human being such as one of my friends or family members i just realized that they were just cells and atoms and i would start to feel weird and depressed...
 
Pre-existing underlying issues is key here as has already been pointed out. I don't see people as cells and atoms at least not in the dull sense you imply. We are all energy and it is a very beautiful thing. Consciousness never goes away energy is constant. Psychedelics are not for everybody.
 
yea thats what i had figured... thats why i quit all drugs... my brain just wasnt made to handle such substances... i feel like i was more sensitive to negative effects of drugs... like i would feel the negative after-effects from drugs quiker than most people do and they would take longer to go away as well... and at one point i camr to the realization that a lot of it was all in my head... cuz i kept thinking about it and i kinda psyched myself into thinking i was still fucked up from the drug/s...
 
I acquired some DOB for a friend of a friend back when I was big into tripping and that lifestyle. Kid came by my house and seemed cool enough maybe a little square but I wasn't going to judge. Anyway we shoot some pool exchange goods and everybody leaves happy. Well a week later I get the dreaded freakout call from the friend who set me and the custy together. Apperantly they decided not to take my dosing advice seriously and ate 3 times the correct amount. The story i got was that the three of them had dosed at a friends apartment and tried to watch a movie. I guess sometime later old boy starts acting kinda weird saying strange things ect. Then he starts getting violent screaming about them talking behind his back, how he's on a mission from Jesus. I wasnt there but it sounded like just normal psychotic break delusion talk to me. Anyway this escalates to him trashing the apartment and getting in a physical altercation with someone who he beat the shit out of. So these kids call 911 EMS responds and the cops taze the poor kid before hauling his ass to jail. He eventually got sorted out at the jail/mental ward but I heard he was never quite the same. Dropped out of college to never be heard from again. I felt vaguely bad but what was I supposed to do?
