the first state
so lately ive been eating a lot of psychedelics...
some may say too much, but to each his own right?
anyway, its to the point that i can eat 10 hits and just not feel it.
i mean, of course i FEEL it, but its not even like tripping anymore...
i cant completely say that i don't enjoy it, because everything is more fun/interesting/better overall when you're tripping(at least IMO lol,) but its just not as fun without visuals. i'm very experienced with tripping, and i know that tolerance builds very quickly, but i just don't want to accept it.
lately ive been laying plans for the rest of my life, trying to figure everything out, and i feel like Cid and the fun guy have been helping me with my plans, and helping me find myself.
ive learned so much in the past few months, ive realized soo many things, and im very happy with the way things are going.
i used to have so many hopes and dreams, things that i wanted to do and the images of who i wanted myself to be, and now much of it seems pointless, goals put into place by a blind eye, judgements made by an ignorant mind.
i still want to do so many things, but i question their validity.
i want to just jump in a car, and explore the world...
make that a delorean and let me travel back in time, and discover what has yet to be found.
i just want to be free, and happy....
sometimes i can escape reality for long enough to just live, but the majority of the time i cannot escape the matrix without the help of blotter....
in the past month i've probably eaten close to a sheet myself, is there anyway i can increase the effects....
i know giving my body time and letting my tolerance go down is good, but can i cheat sometimes???
sometimes i find i get alot done with a head for of lsd all week long
i may have my moments of fear and loathing, but thats all part of the balance of life right?
im just wondering if theres a way to decrease my tolerance, or if there are any psychedelic potentiators out there.
ive read/heard all the bs stories, but i just want some opinions/facts on the matter.
i'm sure i've left something out, but i'm sure you guys will point me to it...
 
I've read that 2C-D can potentiate the effects of other psychedelics, Alexander Shulgin called it "pharmalogical tofu", as a way of explaining how it absorbs effects, like tofu absorbs flavors.

I understand that the drugs help you with your life, but one of the things psychedelics can do is show you how to live your life without the help of drugs, you know? They show you where you can go, but sometimes you need to figure out how to get there by yourself. I know I'm being preachy but being perpetually on psychedelic drugs couldn't be the best thing for your mind...or maybe it'll just work for you, who really knows?
 
A big part of taking psychedelics in an intelligent or purposeful manner is allowing yourself and your mind the proper time to integrate what you have learnt..

The best way to do that is obviously space out your trips far more than you are. But, you already know that...It seems you already know the answers to your own questions.

You can't "cheat" psychedelic tolerance, and doing so anyway would be to defeat the purpose of them in the first place..imho anyway..

There is the old adage:
"Once you get the message, Hang up the Phone"
 
also, novelty is a huge factor in psychedelic & peak experiences. If you're taking psychedelics that frequently, it is no longer novel, and thus you lose a good bit of the experience. Give the old brain a break from 5-HT2a agonists for a couple months, then if you feel the urge, revisit the psychedelic headspace, albeit with less frequency.

Hope that helps :)
 
^ Agreed. When tripping becomes routine it is just boring same as using any other drug excessively. Take a break and come back after having integrated a bit and there's a whole new range of insights to be found that you miss if you just trip continuously. Plus, it's way cheaper than needing megadoses to feel almost nothing :D
 
Jesus christ give it a rest...I'm certain your mind was not ignorant when you set those goals. Be realistic for a second, just because you've been in fantasy land for last month doesn't mean you should completely change the course of your life. Like others have said, give yourself a little bit of time on this planet to integrate what you have actually learned in a reasonable manner
 
Stop trying to use drugs to escape reality.

Tripping is fun and can be an excellent tool but you need to have time when you're sober and not on anything at all, sometimes what you learn from psychedelics doesn't make any sense at all to you when you're not tripping.
 
OP, i hate to be a bore, but YOU CANNOT EXCAPE THE MATRIX

i'd like to see you try living one week with JUST BLOTTER... no food no water no shelter no bathroom...

you need to grow up man and learn about contributing back to the great cycle of life!
find something to occupy your hands and mind, something positive that creates a tangible result when you are finished. like drawing, knitting, singing, WHATEVER to make you realize that being ALIVE is pretty damn nice after all!
 
I think you are answering many of your own questions. But I have felt like that before, like I was ready to have the first day of the rest of my life, but it took me a long time and a pretty nasty lifestyle crash to figure things out. I was depressed that I wasn't doing anything decent with my life and either tried to look for answers in trips or took other things to make me feel better. It was only when I fucked up and moved back temporarily that I got a fresh look on things, being free from the past allowed me to do new things, start writing and building stuff etc.
I am so happy that happened. Maybe you don't know what this should mean to you or what similar things you can do, well... I think you either have to hit rock bottom to get fed up with things (and make the actual decision to trip a whole lot less and replace that time spent on new and other things) or make cold hard choices before that.
One tip I have is that these things you want to do may feel like out of your reach, but they are just thresholds. Decide without question that you want to start with something new and leave something behind and decide it with 100% of yourself, then go do it and DON'T LOOK BACK. The looking back and reconsidering everything is what limits the freedom you had initially discovered IMO.
 
thanks for the advice guys
i understand the general consensus, and i know that i need to do something with my life.
i know that i can't trip ALL the time, but it is something i thoroughly enjoy.

i dont always view it as trying to escape reality, sometimes it just feels more real.
if you dont know what i mean by that, then i guess you'd have to FEEL it.

my consumption of psychedelics would probably be a lot less often if not for the fact that i'm on probation.
i'm not looking to hear the "maybe you shouldn't do drugs"

i know that being alive can be fun, ive realized it many times, and it really hit me last night.
i'm not trying to escape being alive, i'm trying to escape from the rest of humanity, from the world we live in
as much as i love my fellow man, i cant help but wake up and get pissed if i hear the news
i want to take a month off from life, and go live off the land.
no hippy puns intended, but i want to go live they way it was before greed, racism, empiricism, and ignorance controlled the world.

and about changing the course of my life, who is to say that i shouldn't change it, perhaps if you held some knowledge of my life you wouldnt say the same thing...

by saying i wanted to escape the matrix, i meant i wanted to come and live the REAL life, because i think i can say with confidence that all of you have questioned the way our lives at one point or another, i know you've wondered about how the same people do the same things to those who are less fortunate and always get ahead, how the same institutions that say they love you condone violence and hate...

lets say my goals were to be rich and successful and have a huge house and gold teeth and a car with REALLY big rims...
seriously, lets think about it....
and then, i trip for awhile, get to know myself, shed my ego for a bit and just BE, exist, know life for what it is.......
and after doing so, i realize that my grandchildren, and their kids, and everyone whom will have known and loved me, will not give a fuck about my rims or gold teeth when i am gone.
what can they look back and say i accomplished..... looking like a fool? wasting resources on a silly looking car with ridiculous wheels?
lets face it, they'd probably just be happy for some money, anything material that they got after i passed...
now, would you not say those would be the goals set forth by an ignorant mind...

i'm just saying, those were not my goals, FAR from it, but it still hold the point.
i realize that life is about living, its about creating, if i wasn't here to help my fellow man, or to help create new life, then i probably wouldn't be human.

i refuse to be a clockwork orange for the rest of my life.
i have never wanted to be part of "society" but i have learned the errors of my ways.
you cannot shun someone for their ignorance, but you can shun the refusal of truth....

i realize that i need to take some time to make everything i want happen, and i'm prepared for it...
my break from psychedelics is almost here, but not quite, i still feel that i'm not quite there.

thats why my i had my question about cheating or taking something to increase it, blah blah blah.

i appreciate everyones input, whether i agree with it or not.
thanks for taking the time to read what i have to say, it means a lot.

can you guys see where i'm trying to go with everything i'm saying, if not i can elaborate more, i just didnt want to stray too far from the question...
thanks again

i feel u. good luck. remember : Life's a trip

A: No way to cheat a tolerance to these kinda drugs
 
thank you
and sorry if i seemed kinda bitchy, i just woke up
and i get really passionate about things

and thanks solipsis, ive learned a bit of that in my 20 short years on this planet
ive gone prettyy low and i never want to go there again, living in a cell or a rehabilitaion facility isnt how i planned life to be
i know im still young, and everything is going to change a million times before i'm through with this world,
and although i feel a bit behind in some aspects of my life
i feel light years ahead in other areas
i guess i'll just stick to words of wisdom that sound clearly in my head when ever i'm faced with tough decisions
"Buy the ticket, take the ride..."

You answered your question, it's likely the novelty of the acid has wore off, things will never be the same. But, I recommend after persistently using acid to take at least a two week break. When I began having tolerance problems I began tripping once a week and found this didn't solve the problem, two weeks got things back to the way they should be.

The reason acid changes is because when you first trip everything feels 'new', after tripping a few times things stop becoming 'new', try a new, unfamiliar setting like a place you have never visited before.

Damn bro I liked it so much I had to comment, I feel you on both apsects, it's like me and weed and molly I enjoy them, they've shaped the course of my life forever, I don't look at things the same. But what do you get when all you've done is lived for the moment and it's passed? Either regret or fullfillment, no one can tell you how to live your life. I've been down many a painful road as we all have, due to my addiction I got fired from my job (back up plan though) and had to move back in with my mom for awhile (not part of the plan) but shit happens, just make sure you can handle it when it comes down the pipe. Oh and lastly, keep a note pad with you, sometimes you just gotta jot shit down.
