Do the things you learn when you go 'up' with psychedelics impact your day to day life in anyway do you think. I'd be interested to hear the answer to that question. Not just from Dan or Sam, from anyone really. Its something i've been considering for a while.
 
Not in the slightest. It is pure hedonism. I haven't noticed anything objectively different about people who have taken psychs and people who haven't, aside from the fact people who take them tend to attribute good or bad things that probably would have happened any way to the psychs when it is really part of their instrinsic nature. That's just my view on it though, i'm sure other people feel it has totally changed who they are for better or worse.

the first few times probably yes

After that, only if you want to be a drug bore, a tit, or are involved in the Goa Trance scene, in which case you're already a drug bore and a tit.

hard to describe. its like subtle change in perspective, an awakening, awareness, the big picture n all that. it shook me to the core, re-born, re-appreciation for life. i felt like id been taught. it got me interested in spirituality, the universe, all kinds of stuff i didnt really think too deeply about before
 
I had a revelation about my spliff-rolling technique while I was peaking on my first E, that stayed with me afterwards and has been put to regular use ever since! (It was: you don't have to lick all the paper at once, once you've got the first bit stuck you can turn it over in your hands at leisure and lick a bit more.)

A few things which happened or were thought on acid came back with me, and I think made me a better person.

The first psychedelic experience I had was about 30-40 Liberty Cap mushrooms in the form of Tea when I was aboouuuut...... 15 or something?
That certainly changed my outlook on reality and further experiences have sort of "strengthend" that outlook.
I have had other small "revelations" also.
I think it's made me more open-minded, it started my love of understanding psychoactive substances, it brought out a larger desire to philosophise on subjects.
Things like that.

So yea, I'd definitely say those experiences have had a lasting impact on my day-to-day life and my perception of reality :)

Jeeeeez I sound like a right fucking yoghurt-weaving-hippie :| Hahaha 8)

This happened to me during a long ketamine fueled night. Then I sobered up.

Yes, immeasurably valuable for me in this way. It's the primary reason I use them now tbh.

The mindspace that my head settles in when I've taken shrooms is absolutely perfect for reducing the barriers and blindness which gets in the way of me being able to understand difficult or unhelpful behaviourally based problems of my own. It's usually enough to take away any defensiveness or egotism that is preventing me from seeing the reality of the situation that I want to change, or interaction I want to improve.

If something's been confusing me behaviourally between me and another, or causing me repeat problems which I want to eliminate, I'll deliberately think it through while tripping. I can't overstate the extent that this actually helps me. It helps to drop all defences and actually be fucking joyous about understanding how I'm at fault. I'm completely able to accept and understand my own weaknesses regarding the situation I think about during this time and it's fucking breathtaking and relieving and a massive unburdening. Similarly in magnitude is that it allows me to almost instantly place myself in the other person's situation and empathise with them even when it seemed impossible previously, so it's a fab way of intrinsically developing better and more positive relationships by getting to the core of unproductive behavioural cycles you wish to get out of. Shit that's just not important stands out a fucking mile too, always a plus.

I have no clue how people who continue to take psychedelics don't eventually gravitate towards self development when using them. I can't see how it's possible as the mind develops over time. Taking psychedelics just for fun is a worthy pass time, but even with that as the main motivation I find it bizarre how the other element can be ignored.

Even if it's not centered around problem solving .. just mulling over relationships you have with other people can lead to some pretty mindblowing, epiphany level revelations and understandings. For me, mulling over and thinking about the people I really like, and why I like them has lead to some of my best life lessons and given me a number of absolutely key realisations that have changed my life completely in terms of happiness levels. I especially love pushing thoughts about why a particular person in awesome in a specific way that I'd love to be, but that I feel I'm unable to be because of barriers I'm unaware of or because of attitudes of my own I don't yet really feel I'm completely in control of. Shrooms just create that platform that's formed on lack of defensiveness, coupled with better access to your true motivations.

[edit]
I very rarely think about macro stuff on shrooms, and think I find it a little bit irritating when others try to engage or converse with me about their thoughts about their own macro level processes (whether that's collective consciousness theories, deities etc ... that's pretty personal and irrelevant and not something that's productive to my headspace or life in any way - I mean when tripping specifically tho tbh .. I really don't like pushing thoughts in that direction anymore when I'm tripping on my own either)

I've seen me spangled on all sorts of drugs thinking i've worked out the secret to the universe, sorted out the worlds problems, thought up some ground breaking idea only to sober up and realise I was just away with the fairy's and everything I had thought was nonsense. I had a conversation with 'god' once on ket. Says it all really.
 
enjoyed reading that marmz, well said

monkeyman, alt + 13 on the number pad thing

Physcs are the only drugs i feel like ive learnt anything from, maybe MXE, although it baffles the shit out of me
 
Do you know the reasons why you find it harder drop defences and recognise where you're at fault without psychedelics Marmz?


I had a vision of God once that completely blew me away. Have you ever seen something so beautiful you cant look? It literally takes your breath away Spade. I saw God as a man and woman I couldn't bare to look at thier faces they were so exquisite. On subsequent trips over the years i've seen how the whole universe is about them... the interplay of male and female. Their love affair in all its manifold variations.

we all have natural subconscious defenses built up over time as our personalities develop as a reaction to upbringing and social interaction, no?

Shrooms allow me to be able to break those understandings and behaviours (subconscious ones) down to minute degrees .. to understand where and when they were formed (traits) and how and why. That degree of understanding hidden motivation behind my behaviour and my reactions to others gives a clean platform to react how I'd prefer, and in a way that's true to intent. Once you have that understanding of yourself, it becomes easier to recognise others by dissecting in the same manner (altho, you generally only have access to surface level common behaviours unless you know the person really well ... but there are common surface level responses to the more generic ones we can al identify with) . Not that you can truly understand others, but you can develop better techniques and approaches in order to encourage the to do similar. Each time it gets refined and gets closer to eliminating the subconscious clutter that is often behind surface behaviour

I'm not an overtly defensive person, but I used to be years ago. More the opposite now and I'm very open about my motivations and failings on a one to one level .. it's pointless being that way on your own though, when it comes to relationships. it can also be a hinderance at times. It's only ever any real use in relationships if the other person is motivated to get to a better understanding of their own behaviours too

edit x 100

my most crippling subconscious complexes mainly developed around 5-8yrs old

eh tmi, sorry for rambling.
