How you feel after using psychs for awhile?

[DJ DubSki SJ]

Ive used lsd maybe twenty times in a period of 2 years, and ive used shrooms about 10 times over 4 years. i like acid alot more and thats why ive been using it alot more than any other psych. but my question is how do you feel after all this time of using it. Ive also used special k while on acid and then while the sun was rising smoked dmt and then ate a eight of shrooms through out the day pacing it. this was all in one weekend at a huge weekend capmout rave in the mountains of PA. basically before this i was using acid every week or almost eevry week. after this campout i stopped using all sorts of drugs besides weed n alcohol and i began using herion again after relapsing. iim now clean off of herione once again and been clean for 3 weeks. but even though im clean i feel like very different i know after using all those drugs u change in thought n jus plain everything. but idk i feel like different. and also the other day i shot up 3 bags of dope at once and then another one 2 hours later. i was really fucked up and kept nodding out non stop. but heres the weird part. i was nodding out as i was playing call of duty 4 online lol and it was dark in my room so no light was hitting my eyes as i was nodding out. but i started feeling weird like as my eyes are closed n im nodding out i see images and even saw like kliediscope type stuff like field of grass flying around my eyes. but idk it was the first time this happend to me when ive been on herion. anyone care to help me figure out whats going on and also if u would be kind enough to give ur experiences of life and things that your feel after using lsd, special k, shrooms, herion, E, etc. for a good period of time? thanks! and im telling you i cant really give perfect explanation of what i was seeing but it felt like when im on lsd n i close my eyes and u get those images like its a visualizer in some way but also it felt real like i saw shit happening that wasnt really happening idk please give ur idea!

I found opiates to have a certain 'visionary' element to them when a high enough dose was reached on a low tolerance. I can imagine that if you have HPPD (which I don't really consider to be a disorder) then those aspects would definitely creep in to the opiate nod. It's not like a benzo state where the tranquilizers reduce all the sensory and mental activity. In fact opiates can be in a certain way slightly stimulating. They seem to leave much of your higher mental state intact. That might explain your experiences.

As it pertains to long-term use of psychedelics: infinitely positive. The positives have certianly outweighed any negatives or nasty experiences. Although I attribute this to all of my psychedelic use, I would definitely classify the greatest positive changes to have come from the use of certain substances and/or the use of them substances in the right situations i.e. the right set and settings. I used ketamine for a few years, from 2005 to 2008, and while I took a lot away from the experiences, it also took a lot away from me in other ways. Mainly healthwise, since I ended up looking like a zombie on crack, and I also sold a bunch of stuff just to get high. Never want to go there again.

With the help of mescaline, 2C-E, and 2C-T-2, I had written off a decade of depression. Particularly, in one very major and profound 2C-T-2 trip almost all traces of self-loathing, self-pity, and misery were vanquished, at least on the level of everyday consciousness. In the same trip, the spiritual views that I had held shifted gears so to speak, so that I was no longer simply viewing things from just a scientific pseudospiritual paradigm, but became infused and aware of the love of the heavenly realms. Also, the psychedelic space has taught me the techniques of both meditation and astral projection, so that I can use such techniques to meditate without the help of psychedelics. I had my first astral projection experience a few days after using 2C-E.

There are many other substances and experiences that have elicited equally profound changes in other ways. My first ever psychedelic experience was Salvia Divinorum, and that changed things forever. I will always have a special place in my heart for that plant. LSD was a game changer. It's been almost a decade since I got destroyed on mushrooms, but I will never forget the lesson. And regarding that, some of the most important things of a trip have only surface in the past couple of years, in the brilliant retrospective light of a greater vantage. Having learned to navigate the spaces so much more intimately in recent years, some things that happened many years ago in other trips now become clear. With these tools I've been able to venture further behind the curtain than I ever imagined possible. I've been able to shine lights in to the most begotten areas of my soul.

I've only been doing psychedelics for almost 3 years and i know thats not a very long time. But in that time i've had lsd 10 times, shrooms 20+ times, 2ci twice, mdma 5 times, dmt 6 times. It has definately been a positive past couple years and I've had a blast. For me though, I'm already ready to put the lsd behind me, due to a very scary trip i recently had, and my fears of epilepsy. But overall, psychedelics have definately improved me as a person, as far as mind expansion, empathy, and just a deeper understanding is concerned. As of yet, i haven't really gotten any terrible side effects from use. my vision is a little..... off though.

I've only been using for 8 months but have done Shrooms 2 times, 4-Aco-DMT 1 time, DMT 15 times, DPT 1 time, Salvia 2 times, Ketamine 2 times, 4-HO-MPT 1 time. If I use something long lasting (ie not DMT or Salvia) for more than two weeks in a row I begin to feel mentally drained. If I use DMT or Salvia more than a few times a week the same thing happens.

I had a similar experience. I took LSD about 8 times and 2C-E about a week ago (and coming down from it right now )

A few days ago I took 60mg hydrocodone + 180mg codeine (might have been 240mg can't remember) and smoked a lot of weed. Haven't taken opiates in a while so that was a good dose for me.

As I was trying to sleep, I looked at the ceiling and I saw a hue of green just spreading everywhere. I closed my eyes and the green would take over the black. It continued for about a couple of minutes. I was in that half nodding/ half awake state though.

Tolerance usually serves as a auto-regulation against any negative effects from the main psychedelics.

I honestly have had more negative effects from smoking marijuana habitually then I have from moderately frequent tripping. Well I have had zero bad effects from tripping to be completely honest...

Listen to your body, pay attention to your mind. Not the part that craves the drug experiences but the part that "knows" whats best.

Everyone has that in them, its only a problem when you force yourself to ignore it.

Peace, love and happy tripping to all.

I can definitely relate to you on this!! Haven't tried any rc's yet or salvia but I definitely will not exclude them from my future bag of tools. DMT & mushies have helped me in ways that words do no justice of explaining the benefits I am reaping, but at the same time everything is at a cost, definitely the pros far outweigh the cons (at least for me so far).
If you ask me this is what drives a lot of fear, "the uncertainty - chartering into unfamiliar waters away from your normal comfort zone that many/if not all of us cling onto with everything we have - not being able to let go" this fear is what has caused so much misery in my life (my ego did nothing to help me but to keep the fear protected and my ego still tries to keep it alive and well) and finally I am able to recognize and work on this in my day-to-day life.
Can't stress the importance of integration enough, this really kept me grounded through all the madness!

I tried to write a post to say how I feel, and I deleted it a couple of times because I couldn't spit it out right. Probably because I just woke up and smoked some weed and i'm on day 6 of a 10 day work week in a kitchen with no staff currently.....annnnnnnnnyways,

I was going to link the psychedelics and social alienation thread, because after I used psychedliecs for a while, I started to feel socially alienated. But I read the first couple posts and Xorkoth posted something that pretty much sums up what I've gone through with psychedelics.

Your choice of user name is ironic, because I was going to say to you that it's all about your headspace. Personally, drugs used to make me feel alienated. As you said, they tore down my previous illusions of social order and made me feel very self-conscious. While I am forever grateful for my experiences because they showed me the truth, they also made things difficult in some respects, especially right afterwards.

Over time, I rebuilt my sense of who I was, and found out that the real reason I felt self-conscious and alienated was usually because I was feeling that way about myself... perhaps insecure about my new position, perhaps wishing I could just be ignorant again. I worked on feeling confident in my own position, and I discovered that the most important part of social interaction is to be as open as possible and to say what I really mean and let people know how I feel. And of course to listen to others even if I don't understand right away or agree. I found that by doing this, I create an environment around me where people seem to want to do the same.

It took me quite a while to develop this. My first trip, which totally changed my life and perceptions, was just about 7 years ago now, and it's only in the past few years that I've been able to figure out how to be totally (almost totally) comfortable with who I've become and my new perception of the world.

It's important, I find, to look for the good in the world and particularly in other people. It's easy to get dragged down by the horrible and/or infantile behavior of the average person, but there is a lot of good, too, and most people at least want to be good, and honest, but maybe just don't know how. By providing an example of how, you help to bring it out of others. And anyway, if you dwell on the negative, it's going to be hard to ever relate to anyone.

It's all in your Headspace.

So there was a time in my life where doing lots of psychedelics made me feel awesome ! So i kept doing them.

Then I started to feel changed by them...and that pushed me out of my comfort zone when I realized just how much there really is to the psychedelic experience.

Now I feel like I'm at the stage that Xorkoth described as just beginning to rebuild my self confidence and to really be able to connect with other people, and I've had some experience that also taught me the importance, or rather total complete necessity for positive thinking in life.

You can't dwell on negativity or it will totally consume you.

To conclude, I would say that psychedelics are amazing and have overall had a beneficial impact on my life, but that may not be for everyone, and surely going soooooo far down the rabbit hole as some of us do on bluelight is surely also not for everybody. Anyways, be safe and happy tripping (although there is surely bound to be some not-so-happy-tripping, as that is just that nature of the beast!)
