Hi there! I'm new to the forum. I joined so I could discuss psychedelics and substance usage in general. I don't smoke or drink (at all), and drugs aren't the answer to everything, but they can certainly teach us something. I avoid substances that cause physical harm to the body (e.g. Ketamine), drugs with strong addiction/dependency potential (e.g. Alcohol), insufflation (Cocaine etc.) and generally substances that don't offer much beyond a temporary / internal / dissacociative high (Nitrous Oxide). I like drugs that enhance creativity and thinking, ones where interaction with the world is still possible and perhaps encouraged. I believe life is about "doing" and if your main hobby is sedating yourself to the point of not physically being able to move even if you wanted to, you're missing the point. Having said that I am thankful for all my experiences, good or bad. I currently live a very healthy lifestyle which I believe is conducive to getting the most out of tripping & life in general. At points in my life I have smoked cannabis every day, but recently I realised my journey with the plant as a useful entity had come to an end. Without going into detail, I now consider the habit of long term regular MDMA usage to be spiritually "unhelpful". Although whatever works for you. I think the key is to test your beliefs on what you think is good for you through experimental action - abstinence & variety. I'm not sure taking the same trip over and over again over a relatively short space of time is ever the way forward.
Anyway that was long winded and is enough for now. Is there anyone else out there like me?!
