Psychedelics & Introverted personalities

[Ismene]

No, it's not going to damage you. But it's a sign that your personality could be damaged. Not damaged by the psilocybin, damaged by your habits and lifestyle.

What's bad about tripping once a week tho? 6 or 7 hours on psilocybin a week doesn't sound that bad to me. Certainly got to be better than getting pissed up 3 or 4 times a week on alcohol.

I guess from a purely HR point sure, we shouldn't be advocating use of any regularity. But people do smoke weed every day, I fucking do. & people do trip every week, & I often have done. I've knocked some well dodgy habits on th head in the last few years & my consolation prize is an afternoon of swirlies once a week or so. I say "or so" because some weeks I don't want to trip!

The habits I've knocked on the head were doing me some serious, lingering mental & emotional harm & a daily herb &/or weekly psyche "habit" is considerably healthier for me to maintain. I wouldn't advocate it for anyone else though, unless they have other habits that are doing them some sort of harm. However inadvisable replacing habits with other habits might be, this particular swap is working for me.

Sure lets see some evidence, this can harm a person just as much as being addicted to other drugs, in a different way it is such a huge load on the brain when you induce a psychedelic state with drugs. They are very safe for humans to use when you treat them with respect, there is no way someone living a normal life could properly handle the hangover and adjustment in consciousness every week, This can lead to opiate/benzo abuse and abuse of uppers, if you are constantly trying to beat a psychedelic hangover and changes in consciousness.

I don't think it's harmful at all, at least in regards to classic psychedelics. I get an afterglow not hangover. Lsd helped me stop abusing benzos, alcohol, and amphetamines. I like mellow trips though I'm not about intensity so I rarely have trouble integrating my trips.

I don't think you or lamanogucha got the point of my post. I don't mean that being on the drug each week is bad for you, I mean that the fact you do it each week shows (maybe) there is something wrong with you.

Now there's no evidence for what I said so don't get upset, it's merely an opinion without any basis. and yes, I've used psychedelic drugs once a week quite a lot. 7 times a week sometimes also.

No I don't think it's a sign of there being anything wrong with you.
