do not for one second think that drugs made you smarter or more enlightened. you will alienate people. you may have learned a few things about drugs, but the drugs did nothing for your intellect.

after month 3 of sobriety, you should feel fine.
 
Is it necessarily a bad thing that you appear to be more 'open minded' then these 'normal' people?

I suppose if it's having a negative effect on your quality of life, i'd recommend reducing if not stopping all drugs entirely until you feel more balanced.. you wont ever forget what you experienced or learnt through the psychedelic's.. although through time i believe you'll learn to integrate it into your life.

I recently had to stop using all forms of drugs roughly 3 months ago, after frequent use of psychedelic drugs started to have a negative effect on my life in the form of disassociation from myself and my surroundings, im now trying to balance the insight i gained with the hard reality of society.. that i cant view myself as 'more knowledgeable' then others as it only serves to separate me more from this existence i share with others.

i dont wanna alienate people. none of my friends do drugs so they will think im weird or crazy if i tell them they sometimes smoke bud or drink. i jjust dont feel normal. i think the drugs have shown me too much thingss its so wierd how everyonee lives in the world and what we do. im gonna just try to be normal and blend in :\
 
You sound just fine. The drugs did what they do... alter your world view. There are challenges that come with that, but ultimately it's just fine. You seem more worried than you should be, for sure... trust that you'll be okay. I see no reason to believe that you should be as worried as you are... however, if there's one thing I'd be worried about in that list, it's the "e-pills" (MDMA? who knows).

Lots of wonderful people live with a world view that they've altered profoundly by using drugs. It won't stop you from living a happy life... in fact, many of those people believe they're better off for having the experiences they've had.

Look at it that way... you've had many interesting experiences. There's no need to continue, but there's no need to be horrified either. Chances are, you'll do just fine with your altered world view.

PS: What is "normal"? Doesn't sound so appealing to me. I'd rather seek out people who are remarkable or unique! :)

Psychedelics have been used for therapy, addiction, creativity, self-exploration/introspection and spirituality and probably a myriad other beneficial uses I can't think of off the top of my head. To say psychedelics do nothing for your intellect is subjective and IMO a possible sign of weak intellect. Drugs on the other hand is too broad a word to say that across the board drugs do nothing for your intellect. Some drugs help brain cognition, some deteriorate brain cognition.

I started using LSD, first recreationally and then in a somewhat spiritual context at a young age, while still in high school. I may have been somewhat alienated from a few people but my true friends were generally interested in the insight and perspective gained from my LSD use. Slowly my friends came around, I got along with most of my school al though most had an idea that I used acid. My friends accepted my use, most people tolerated me completely, and though I never pressured anyone, some actually became intrigued by the beneficial aspects of LSD and I was able to share my insights and experiences with them and gain new perspectives from their own subjective experiences. If you are mature enough to handle psychedelics they can be of therapeutic value, but I would not suggest taking LSD at a young age. I was rather mature in high school, but I would still caution its use in anyone regardless of age that is not mentally prepared to experience and integrate a novel part of the universe exposed to them. Be careful, but stay true to yourself. You may be more "normal" than your friends.

Agreed with feelgoodhit. 200 doses of "e" that nobody knows what is exactly in them these days is probably worse than an occasional psychedelic trip. Don't overdo it, and if it's affecting your life negatively then stop. Maybe you can share some of the thoughts that make you feel like you're on a different level and "know" more. I don't understand how "know"ing more or having more knowledge can be considered messing your brain. You sound more worried about what people think about you rather than whether you've actually messed up your brain from psychedelics.

You should contemplate and share:
- why you feel like you think differently than most people
- how you believe the psychedelics changed you
- why you feel you know more than normal people
- why you feel you're on an other level
Unless you're newfound knowledge makes no sense, you will be mentally stronger, so just take it easy, you're probably fine. You've stopped for a month and a half so you should not have any serious side effects. I'd worry about that amount of "e" pills and I wouldn't take psychedelics more than twice a month personally.
Everything in moderation... (especially moderation!) ;)

Do you think LSD has the same benefits as meditation/?

sorry if i sound abrasive, alot of my friends are on the "i did acid and now i see the world for what it really is" train, and it pisses me off. lol
 
I've never looked into traditional meditation very deeply so I can't compare meditation to LSD. On the other hand contemplation while on LSD has given me insights into the abstract inner workings of the universe that according to myself and others that have listened are logically sound. If you're interested you can PM me and when I have time I'll elaborate. Some people feel like they did acid and "see the world for what it really is", but it takes years of slow integration and contemplation to truly understand what "seeing" the world for what it really is actually "means". Its very hard to communicate in "words" what some people claim to "see". I believe psychedelics are truly a glimpse into the infinite, which has very spiritual connotations.

tell me about it. ill listen if you dont have to talk about it.

tripping on 2ce. did that make sense?
 
I used to think I was permanently fried after over 100 LSD and mushroom trips from my teens and early twenties.

Don't worry it will go away over about 10 years.

Thats a rather pessimistic attitude for such a subjective topic. Many people enjoy psychedelics over 100 times many times over and don't fry their brain for 10 years. Sorry it happened to you, but suggesting it will necessarily happen to someone else is a little premature.
 
Wow there is a lot of dumbass-ery in this thread.

OP: You don't know "more" than your peers, you just know "different". For some this "different" works, you seem to be fighting it or considering it an unwanted side effect.

I experienced similar things more or less, and it just so happens that I accepted it, worked with it, and I honestly believe that I would've killed myself in ignorance without the new spiritual values I picked up following a powerful LSD trip. I was in a ridiculously hard time in my life when I took those two hits, it changed everything.

So some might look at that and say I'm one of those that "took acid once and went crazy", well fuck, I guess I'm crazy then :) I guess it'd be different if I fought the weird feelings I got after that trip, which I did at first, but if I continued to fight them I would likely not be in a good place right now.

Try and voice out some of your thoughts, no one here will call you "weird" or any dumb shit, and if they do who gives a fuck, they probably will never see you in real life. If you aren't hurting yourself or isolating yourself with "weird worldviews" then continue havin 'em :)

Funny how acid does that. I've found myself exploring spirituality, despite strictly denying every kind of non-physical thought throughout the preceding part of my life. I never really wanted to change my viewpoint - who does - but I certainly don't regret it in any way.

@OP: Although you might feel different, always remember that we all share the trait of being human. This we cannot escape (currently).

Without any further psychedelic experiences, you will drift back to consensus reality. That will take time; how long I do not know. You'll probably never be 100% the same as you were before you started, but you'll get close.
 
Yeah.. i used to think that psychs changed the way i thought and how i perceived the world and wondered if that i would always be that way.. i took a while but i think im pretty much back to normal or what i can call normal.. or maybe i just got used to the fact that my brain is fucked upp :p hmm weell i guess ill never know.

respect psychs and theyll respect you.. and remember dont reach for the secret too soon!
 
I only think my mind was fucked up after my 3rd Acid Trip which was incredibly bad, had all those paranoid thoughts that all my mates where out to get me and my girlfriend was cheating on me and all sorts crazy headfuckedness... ever since that, on and off I get the thoughts recurring it got so bad I even quit smoking cannabis, which has helped but I still get the bad trip thoughts come back at least twice a week.

Yeah man i know what you mean, i just decided to stop taking psychs altogether. Although i do love taking dxm even though its not a psych.. it just puts me in the right state of mind like no other psychedelic had.. but there were a few trips that were actually amazing and that i loved every minute of.
 
I started doing drugs a little over a year ago. And most of my old friends did not do drugs either, although all my best friends do. We realized that the people we didn't hang out with didn't know anything about the world and they live their lives in a wrong sense. Almost as though they have no respect that they are alive. I mean honestly whats the chances that you were born on such a wonderful place for life. And almost everyone abuses it. Psychedelics have shown me a great way to live. I honestly think the best thing I ever did in my life was when I ate those first 400 morning glory seeds. My life has never been better.

Cheer up buddy. Once you return to sobriety for a few weeks you will see that you are much smarter than your peers :). Good luck out there.
