How Has Psychedelic Drug Use Affected Your Life/Outlook On Life? For Better Or Worse

Roger&Me said:
I'm unsure whether or not I've ever really "learned" anything from psychedelics; ie, gained a set of knowledge that I didn't have prior to the experience.

It's more like I "remembered" a lot of stuff, that I had long forgotten-- like how to perceive the world as it truly is: bright, vibrant, electric, and mysterious.

I'm pretty much the same. It kind of irks me when people say psychedelics "taught them" something. Especially those who go as far as to say they understood the workings of the universe and such like... 8) They do however have a great way of giving emphasis to whatever it is you wish to put your mind on. Particularly if there's something about your current situation that you wish to try an resolve. Now, I'm pretty convinced that you could do this without the use of psychedelics, but a pinch of psy gives a lot more emphasis and profoundness to the conclusions that you come to, making you much more likely to act on them.
 
"Youthful magic moments..."
Began experimenting with hallucinogens in '66. All manner of such that were available on and around the Haight in San Francisco . Quite a cult ya know . Time has a way of provoking more thoughtful insight other than 'LSD is going to save the world' and so forth .
 
I dont know, my trips on 2c-i and 2c-e have been extremely enjoyable and therapeutic.

I was reading some webpage on the internet and this is basically the best i can put my trips on 2c, these were what my first 2 trips were like...

"..It was like a psychedelic broom sweeping across your mind, picking up thoughts under the crevices and reorganizing them back where they should belong.."

but my last trip, as i put, was being smacked with that broom and having my thoughts being put through a recycler to only be recreated.

During this trip, my conscious seemed to have died off ( not going in detail ) and i became a blank slate
 
My last few trips have reminded me to enjoy the smaller things in life that bring me small bits of happiness regularly.

I also like to use psychadelics to look at my life as a whole and see what could make me even happier. After my last trip I stopped taking anxiety medication and got rid of the majority of my anxiety, started eating a lot healthier and cooking my own food most days.

They also help me remember that the most important things in life are happiness and love, and sharing the happiness and love with that special someone.
 
I am intensely neurotic and I feel that psycedelics have a habit of making the neurotic feelings worse. It's likeI just have to focus my brain on everything and just go overboard on the thinking process without ever relaxing.

Anyone else get this sort of thing?
 
It's been a while (I'm 55 now) but I first started tripping with acid when I was 17.... had many trips with lsd and shrooms during a 5 - 6 yr period, and I feel they helped form my world view which developed around that time. Definitely a positive influence, opening my mind to possibilities and the different varieties of reality available. My approach has always had a spiritual slant, seeking to learn from these substances rather than just 'get high' or as an escape from boredom, so I figure like most things in life, you get out of it what you put into it.

Due to lack of availability I have not had acid or even shrooms in over 30yrs (maybe more) but I would do either one again if I could find them.

I've sampled a few RC's but none that I've tried have the same 'essence' that I would characterize as psychedelic. I hear the 2C's are nice, but there is no access to them either....so.....
 
Worse during the trip (ex. suicide was a very good idea at one part and made COMPLETE sense). A LOT better after (ex. suicide still makes sense, but is inherently weak. Plus you can sleep when you're dead, so might as well fucking enjoy life while I'm here).

I'd like to record my brain while on LSD. I learned 30 million things during it but I can only remember like 10 of 'em.

I think the main thing was that it completely destroyed my ego for like 3 weeks. People think egos are bad, but I like mine and LSD takes that away. Also, it definitely accelerated my brain a good year or so (which I definitely could've done without; e.g. precipitated "disorder").

IMO, everyone should eat the acid, when the time is right. And EVERYONE has a time. You just got to know when your time is.
 
my first third plateau dxm trip was followed the next day by a moderate to strong shroom trip.

the shroom trip... looking in the mirror... is the first time that i realized i was a good, worthwhile person and that i was not fundamentally different/worse than everyone else like i always felt.

my personality brightened, i started becoming the person i always wanted to be. i opened up more to my loved ones. i changed my appearance to be more reflective of who i always felt i was inside. i stopped being so nervous around women. and in general i just truly awakened my conciousness. its been fairly permanent too, though i've never really felt as free and happy as i was for about three months after that trip. then again i haven't been the best person i could be since then either, career and academic wise.

but yeah, shrooming that one time definitely changed me so much, and so much for the better.

Every time I've taken it, it's improved my life.

The first time, years ago made me permanently less judgmental and improved my self esteem.

I've taken it three times in the last month and I'm fairly sure it has completely cured my depression, I find myself walking and suddenly just feeling euphoric 'life is good' feelings, I'm not sure if people who never get depression are like this all the time but for me it's completely amazing.
I find myself not dwelling on bad thoughts about things I can't change, I push those feelings away exactly the same as i do to avoid them enveloping me when I'm tripping.
There's the added beauty in absolutely every little insignificant thing in the world... Or maybe acid just taught me what to look for in things that makes them beautiful.
I'm more motivated and have more direction in my life, I feel like I have something to look forward to.
 
Improved my self-esteem
Improved my outlook on life <---- this is the main one
Improved my empathy (example if someone loses their phone at a party, even if they're not my friend, I NEED to help them find it and comfort them)
I'm more confident

I'm not materialistic AT ALL anymore because I learned that true happiness can't come from objects. All my interest in getting new phones, computers, clothes, etc left. Now I just buy some plain $5 shirts with some nice $20 shorts and I'm done. No need for style or to fit in... as long as we look alright :)

All that in one shroom trip :)

Can't wait for DMT

not as far as i know... are you sure you're not schizophrenic?
 
I'm pretty sure I'm not schizo... But there are times where tripping seems to create 'schizo-like' effectstrip goes down.

i have changed in so many ways, all good, since i started using phychs one year ago. materialism is out the window,

i am more confidant and accepting of who i am, i take in the beauty and meaning of everything around me, im so much more mature, if not more intelligent as well

i am fascinated by life and how everything works, pay more attention to my emotions and i discovered that love really is all you need (and powerful psychedelics haha)

and i get to trip at least once a week! tripping is the best thing in the world omg soo sick.

i will be forever grateful to my friend who put that first sweettart in my mouth
