I read a quote that reminded me of tripping. Perhaps the most miserable of us are the ones who enjoy tripping the most intensely? I've certainly found the most intense inner joy I've ever felt when tripping - even tho being quite a miserable twat in real life.

"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being,the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
― Kahlil Gibran
 
A lot man...I enjoy a lot...despite it happens to me very rare.the darkness devours me last years and keeps me away from tripping....I wish I could do this again.....alone or in company.....work on it even in this moment...wish to made my third ibogaine flood,wish to take shrooms beside the fire at night,dreaming and watching the stars...wish i could try acid on a mountain's meadow.....or dmt beside the beach
 
Im just about to eat some more ds 3.0 acid on top of my terpenes and RSO. This is my fave combo ever. I have never been as happy in my entire life. Every moment is precious!!

I even find I get a better wifi signal when taking this combo!!
 
Honestly, it depends. While I'm quite interested in psychedelics, a read of my trip reports shows me that most of my experiences are pretty neutral. That seems to have increased as I've gotten older and tripped more. The euphoria of my youthful trips is much, much less common. That said, it's substance dependent to a certain extent. I'm pretty reticent to take most 4-subbed tryptamines. They're just a bit daunting for me most days. Phenethylamines, base tryptamines, and 5-subbed tryptamines are more my speed. DOX and 'scalines would be, too, but they're interminable.
 
While I certainly don't use them as much as I did in my youth they are still important in my life, over all. Mostly once or twice a year, rarely without at least 3 or 4 months in between. Just LSD or one of the close analogs.
 
Happiness comes from within self. Continuously tripping because it makes one feel good is really just avoidance.
 
I recall enjoying tripping very much. More so what my mind was capable of doing and the aftereffects of pure wisdom. The long-term benefits of tripping are life-long, something you never loose because it is you and no one can take how you identify yourself away.
Finding interest in lucid dreaming, salvia, morning glory seeds as far legal trips go. Will continue to pursue San Pedro and mushrooms, who knows I might run across some LSD?

it's been a few days (except for momentary DMT and salvia forays), if only the body would serve access to expanded mind more easily and consistently. Part of loving tripping, is waiting for enough time to pass to trip again.

maybe a future species of man will evolve to regenerate his receptors at a rate congenial with a delicious psychedelic continuum. alas I wait. going on the exercise bike...

edit: I have to add that oneiric states (dreams) are naturally connected with rest, relaxation, and REM sleep - maybe I am driven to exercise so as to fold activity into my resting, maybe through that I can accommodate more access to the dream, by resting in activity, relaxing into conflict etc.

I enjoy it. Salvia showed me that there are different trips too. Universes, nonuniverses, etc..... They all show how far the mind can go.

Saying that 40 years ago I could eat a sheet (and yes what you all call DS these days. lol) in two months. These days it is usually a short trip and and only very occasionally. Usually mushrooms. They are a good tool. I have learned putting time between trips, I mean months, helps me digest and integrate them better. I believe when I was young and tripping a lot I would steamroll over insights by not digesting. Like eating a meal after eating a meal. But I had fun, and miss the Dead shows.
 
I love it lots, just like everyone in this forum. I first endeavoured into the psychedelic waters on the 28th of September 2023 (mushrooms - small dose), the day before my first ego dissolution! It was a rough start for certain - but that goes to being uneducated at first. Since the beginning of my journeys I have learnt HEAPS, I've practically grown a relationship with liberty cap mushrooms. I've of course mostly used mushrooms due to availability but I had the lucky chance to experience LSD twice last year. 75ug first and then 150ug the time after.

I've always been a music person and for me music is one of the most important aspects of the psychedelic experience, it really sheds a new light on it. But then again it sheds a new light on everything. I can say psychedelics have permanently changed my perspective on this reality we live in. It bothers me sometimes, but I think it's worth it for the wisdom!

This mushroom season (UK) I'm taking once every one or two weeks, but over the last year it's been more like once every few months.

Psychedelics are one of the greats in life, one of the things that make life so worth living. Psychedelia, love, friendship, music and the arts. It's especially great when they all intertwine!
 
Tripping is a bit of a difficult "high". With acid, you have to ride out that initial tension, and it sometimes doesn't really alleviate. DMT and shrooms have that, but less, but they do they tend toward the introspective.
Self searching and personal growth aside (and they can bring more enjoyment to the rest of your life), when you get it just right you get a feeling of joy and elation which is almost to big to hold inside you. You get it more often than not, but it's not guaranteed.
 
I believe what Aldous Huxley said while under influence of lsd with his wife trip sitting..,that taking big doses or tripping too often in general is for the people that want to escape or vacation from life or as Terrance put it , the only form of entertainment we have found/access to. Aldous also reaffirms that it is still a useful tool for those who need to escape our own cage. Something like that.

I love high doses and they teach a lot imo. But I also love both low & high dosing.

I also like to trip as much as I can lol but try to keep it at least once or twice a month with intervals.

i dunno. i feel like the body highs of psychedelics are usually kind of bad or weird in some way,, like shroom there's nausea/weird body high. on some lsd analogues, i feel like i have a fever, where i know if some people had that feeling, they wouldn't like it. so this kind of reminds me of the OP saying the miserable people enjoy hard tripping cause it's not really a cool feeling. i almost said healthy feeling, but they both make the nerve damage in my CNS feel a lot more relaxed... i dunno. seeing stuff is cool too. i'm gonna say i enjoy tripping a lot. i don't think i really feel good sober. maybe if i felt at peace sober, the visuals of tripping wouldn't be worth it as much. probably not. i'd have to get over being bored... i don't really trip anymore after getting HPPD. i smoke weed and drink coffee all the time to replicate the feeling of tripping. i was worred lsd analogues were messing with my stomach and don't really have money for them, so i stopped. after doing a lot of lsd, i don'treally care for shrooms, but if i were in an area where they were legal to take and they were offered to me, i'd probably do them. after tripping so many times i have no desire to do shrooms. also did salvia a couple years back for the first time in 20 years. it was cool. i'm glad i did it and although i know i can get different trips, i got the general idea of it and have had so many trips that it's just not worth it to feel that way... i like how lsd feels a lot though. i just don't really take it for a few different reasons.
 
I sometimes think about whether I just like those psychoanalysis-esque trips so much because I have had so many traumatic experiences.

I can't really see tripping as a fun casual thing. It's a pretty serious matter for me .

I know a guy with depression, alcohol dependance & a lot of Weltschmerz & I have the feeling I'd be like him if I'd never have tripped.
If psychedelics, dissociatives & empathogens never tought me to look at my pains & problems unapologetically.

I took a very long pause from tripping after I developed anxiety disorder after my dad's death in an accident. And the longer I abstained from transcendental experiences, the more depressed & vision-less I became.

To quote Timothy Wiley from the Hamilton's Pharmacopeia episode on ketamine:

"People die from a lack of vision."
