Probably more than I should at this point.

I feel like I'm getting to that point where I'm using psychedelics to change the way I'm feeling rather than for personal exploration like I used to. When I first started tripping with cacti and mushrooms I was tripping ~once a month if that. Now I'm up to 2-3 times a week! I think this is due to my lack of resources and connections to obtain other drugs so I resort to tripping at inappropriate times. This has resulted in a few bad experiences so I'm really trying to cut down on my usage.
 
the last two years ive been tripping about 4 to 6 times a year.
at my worst when i discovered 2cx's i was tripping once to twice a week for a few months on various substances
tripping gets very mundane if you do it to often and just isnt as magical

every 2 to 3 months i get a hankering for a trip sometimes ill look at the trees or clouds and be reminded of past trips and just know that its time for another 1
 
i trip for various reasons with friends its because i want to have fun. if its by myself then im looking for a powerful psychedelic experience. acid, 2ct2, ketamine are more for fun mushrooms and 2ce are more for serious trips
 
Five years ago, I had a period of nearly a year in which I was doing K, E, LSD, speed and mushrooms regularly, from twice a month to 3-4 times per week. Since that crazy period, around 1 time per year. I don't do speed anymore, and a nightmare trip got me away from using LSD.

My last trip was a kitty flip (3 E + K) in a rave with friends I haven't seen in years. It been like 4 years I haven't done E, and yes it was fun, but not magic. But it was so nice to see all those people again, and dancing on morning psytrance as the sun is rising is really nice :)
 
I used to do psychedelics a lot, sometimes once a month but usually more than that for a period of a couple years. Just last week I had my first trip in ten months, a small dose of 4acodmt, and instantly I remembered why I don't trip anymore. The mindset was just so familiar and dry. Perhaps my pessimistic life outlook contributed, however I believe it was more of a malaise relating to the whole paradigm of psychedelics elucidating what changes I have to make in my life.

The whole show seemed redundant to me because being an introvert means that I think about these things all day, most days. Tripping just makes these feelings stronger for me. In the past, tripping was about the lulz. It was about seeing visuals, or listening to the same music in a different way, or maybe just going for a walk and seeing what kind of crazy synchronicities might pop up. Regardless, I slowly saw more and more repetition in my trips and less and less excitement, or reason to return.

Psychedelics were valuable to me. I especially enjoyed the camraderie aspect of learning, trying, and reflecting on all the different chemicals with some of my best friends. They gave me access to a different part of culture and scenes that I never would've been involved with otherwise. Psy/goa trance is still one of my favorite musical genres.

Eventually, as tripping became less trippy, sober life became more trippy. Looking back on the experiences now, I recognize that a lot of the fun was in the novelty & various body highs that tripping imparted. And to be honest, I began to see more ways that tripping could become a burden or a hindrance. No sleeping, driving or desire to eat for hours on end? Aural hallucinations, chance of paranoia/anxiety or even complete dysfunction? I mean really, I have problems operating my cell phone when I'm high on pot. While tripping it might as well be off the whole time--yeah yeah I know it should be.

I could never say that I regret the time I spent exploring psychedelics. I feel like it's more important that I did them and know that I no longer want to do them as opposed to never doing them in the first place. I've already relinquished my small stash of 4acodmt and have no plans to acquire any more psychs for a long while. Honestly, as I think I said earlier in this palaverous post, they've just gotten tiresome for me.
 
Not too often. I'm busy with life and I don't really like tripping by alone so I tend to wait to coincide with my partner being up for dosing.
 
I voted once a month since that's probably the closest to my average since I started using, but I don't follow a regular schedule at all and I tend to go in phases. I'll go months without tripping, then decide to try out a new chemical or some acid will come into town or whatnot and I'll go on a bit of a binge, sometimes to the point of nearly daily use for a little while. If I had an unlimited supply of all my favorites, I'd probably trip at least once a week.

Pretty much all of my trips are *primarily* recreational and/or social in nature these days. I've tripped more than enough times to glean any inherent wisdom or value that the experience imparts, and it didn't take me too long to figure out that whenever I would come up with excuses to trip for some 'deeper' reason, it was just that: an excuse to do something I knew I enjoyed but for some reason had convinced myself I 'needed a purpose' to justify doing. Psychedelics have helped me through many personal difficulties and helped give me a new perspective on important life decisions, but never when I took them intending to make that happen.
 
I used to trip at few times of year usually around mushroom picking time,LSD i used to do nearly every week in my teenage years until it got too much.

I haven`t tripped for years now due to having no sitter,all the people i knew who were into tripping are either dead or have dissapeared.

So if i were to do it now it would be more for a healing experience and only performed on special occasions.

On a side note,i think there should be some kind of sitters service available for those who want to trip safely,are there any sitters out there who would take this old veteran on a safe,healing journey :)

I need to blow out some old crap thats cluttered my mind for years!

Oh OK so you've just had to cope with the insights and what can be a ego destroying trip in a social situation?? That doesn't sound like fun at all.

Not saying I haven't had these experiences myself - I have, and usually it's a dampener on the evening in a way, if I've had to deal with a lot of shit in my head while tripping at a rave, or out for a wander with friends.

But I guess if you've been doing it for years, then having worked on yourself enough the mindfuck becomes less and less I would guess - I find the mindfuck lessening already, but still everytime I trip on almost ANYTHING these days I am forced to see things from a different perspective in a way where I'm not having fun in the situation anymore - but learn a lot of things about myself and personal situations, so I guess that balances it out.

I have yet to try LSD again - I think it will be very soon. And as soon as mushroom picking season is over I will have my first ayahuasca brew in the company of "family", too. :)
 
I only do certain RC's a few times a year now mostly due in part to having full time work and full time college on my hands
 
how often: more than once week

why: because the psychedelic world is so much more beautiful than the world we live on. i feel as if i was born into the wrong world, so i am constantly trying to get back were i belong:)
 
Probably a bit under monthly on average, but varies a lot. Just whenever I feel it would be beneficial :)

Haha, I'm sorry, I just have to say something to that.

Try to be real. I think you'd be pretty sad if you couldn't come back to sober reality.
 
my history with psychedelics is as follows..

ahem.when i first started taking acid, in 2008, i tripped like twice a week for a good portion of the year. i had recently recovered from a pretty bad heroin addiction and i was really depressed, and i was drawn to acid in a desperate attempt to figure life out. i felt like i was making some sort of progress but i was still missing something..

but at the beginning of last year, 2009, i discovered candy flipping 8o and that was pretty much a game changer for me.. so i stopped just tripping and started flipping exclusively. i flipped about 15 - 20 times throughout 2009 and by the end of the year i sort of realized that it had gone as far as i could go with it. so i basically stopped and as of this year i have only flipped 2 times.

its kind of a bummer though.. you know, that those times are already over, that part of my life seemed to come and go so quickly. but i guess thats how it goes. psychedelics are awesome and they changed my entire life forever, eternally humbled by the flip :|
