The Big & Dandy 'How have Psychedelics changed You' Thread

Psychedelics have realy cleared my head and helped me appreciate life, and also made me judge people less for their lifestyle choices but also allow me to see how some of my friends treat other people in a negative way and I have tried to help them change.
Also I have helped a few of my freinds who are very anti-drug to try some psychedelics (MDMA and shrooms.) Psychedelics also have made me start meditating which gives me such happiness that I cant get a smile off my face for the next few hours.

edit: And also forgot to add that I have vivid dreams ever night tha I can remember right then or get a flashback to the dream/ flashbulb memory. A month ago I had a dream that I was on the phone to my friend about picking up my pink PSP (dont have a pink PSP!) and at that point I woke up talking into my hand. I also have a very vivid image of each dream like a screen shot.
Today I woke up beatboxing/humming to a uplifting trance song (neo - slyder) Very vivid dreams!

I now truly see that the grass is greener from all sides.
I have a heightened innate trust in humankind, even though i know the world can be a very evil place at times.
I feel love and empathy for all of those around me, pre lsd/mush, I hated everyone.
I listen to both sides of every story, and never interject my reality of it, I just let it be.
I don't look to the past and dwell, I don't strive to plan my future out, I just Be Here Now.
Everything is a pretty picture to look at.
Color has new meaning.
Nature is where i'd rather live, mankind has turned the earth into a toilet bowl, and suppressed it's status as a Utopia for all man kind, Probably because psychedelics are illegal.
My creative side is over flowing.
I haven't had a fit of anger, frustration, or hate in a long time.

I do however have these so so maybe negative maybe positive:

kinda feel like people I don't even know look at me and KNOW i'm tripping.
get a touch paranoid from time to time because of it.
I've noticed some anxiety attacks for no reason what so ever.
My dreams are swathed in high definition color and very very abstract.. (kind of enjoyable)
Some things that most would brush off, cause me profound life changing epiphany's, be it a pretty color in the sky, an act in nature amongst wildlife.. or even seeing industry at it's worst/best..

I do have a distaste for how mankind treats the earth, and themselves, and i feel shame for everyone because of it.

I tend to feel i can tell everything about a person after their first sentence.
 
I'll pick one of those you said, number five. I see through identities, or at least into them. Sadly, all the others are missing for whatever reason.
 
They helped me to believe in myself, yet never take myself too seriously as that's how ego problems start. Along with that (if that wasn't enough!), they've given me a comic appreciation for the bizzarre & random in life, the universe and everything :D
 
At first, LSD helped me work threw problems that I tried to ignore. I felt like I understood myself and had more self control. I started tripping every one to two weeks. Then it was dry. I ordered some 2c-i and trip bawls every 3 days for a few weeks. Lights blur up alot more than they used too... didn't really get much out of that except some pretty colors and synthesia. My thoughts were more chaotic for a few weeks after.
 
I'm in a transition period between.... Being my 'old self', a very pessimistic (although this quality of mine ain't going anywhere anytime soon!), kind of "fuck the world nothing matters". Sort of person.

To one, who really can't try to put a grip on reality. The things I've seen, the way my worlds been shaken, it's just hard to know what is what anymore. I used to have a pretty easy outlook on life - it's all coincidental and then you die and fade away like you never existed in the first place.. Now i'm just not sure what to think, some times you see things that are so much more real than reality, and it's so fucking confusing.

Are the beings I see really 'out there'? And will I great them when I die? Or are they just fragments of my consciousness trying to communicate with me?

Oh man.. I can't tell if I need a break of psychedelics (not that I've used them too extensively) or if one hardcore ass trip is what I need to get my shit straight.
 
I suppose i find i can appreciate a lot more things that i normally wouldn't have thought about
 
The Hoff Bomb My thoughts were more chaotic for a few weeks after.[/QUOTE said:
I definately feel you on that note. Whenever I dose, whether it be 100 mics of 500 mics, I have an "afterglow" that usually last a good 5 days or so...My thoughts are clear and percise, my brain is more alert, I feel more spiritually alive...after those 5 days I return to a normal pattern of thinking....

When I decide to dose on a weekly or even monthly basis and then abstain for a good month or so, my thoughts go haywire and the lucidity of my dreams are enhanced...On top of many other things.
 
made me realize I needed to stop wasting my time on depression and just be happy. made me realize how bullshit modern society is. made me want to output positivity and surround myself with positivity. they made me completely batshit insane and made my fears look like no big deal. psychedelics have played a large part in who I am now and I am much happier because of them and have learned many life lessons.
 
tripping didnt change me the integration of the expereince did. once i was finaly back i could apreciate my senses in their sober state to such a large degree, also what i learned about reality on psychs has changed my views and like i said... realllitttyyyyy.

psychs are like a wave, we are always triping over our own thoughts and misinterprating things, living our lives all fuckd up cuz of it... then you get a nice cleansing, the wave washes over you, knocks you around a bit, then goes back to leave the sand nice and smooth, your mind straiter than it was before the psych in a way that you realize strait isnt as linear as you thought it might be? (hard to explain), and sometimes a nice bottle on the shore. :)
 
I heard a song recently, and it went something like this:

If you are born with wings but never use them, then you are not fulfilling your potential.

I just thought this was particularly relevant as you have no idea of what your mind is capable of until you start experimenting.

They have taught me what is important in life.
 
Awesome thread...

1. They've done everything for me that everyone else said so far and so much more.

2. They've done absolutely nothing for me at all.

3. They made me realize that I truly am a pain in the ass, and as such I have devoted my life to fufilling this purpose.

:) :D :) ;) <3 8) :) 8o :\ =D ;) 8o :p :) :D :| %)
 
I think for myself, and I question authority. ;)

But anyways...

I think the world is beautiful now. I loved the world before I took psychedelics, but now it's just jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, sex-with-your-lover beautiful.

Trees never looked more majestic than after the first time I shroomed.

Life never seemed so simple after the first time I did Salvia.

Boring things never seemed so fun after the first time I smoked weed.

MDMA... well, it was magical I guess. It felt kind of artificial to me though, even the first time.

It's been fun, enlightening, spiritual, and eye-opening.

*EDIT*

Oh! And they've given me a hobby! Haha
 
My first trip taught me that life has value. It's hard to put it without it sounding cheesy. But before I ate mushrooms I was incredibly, incredibly cynical. My opinion of life and the universe could best be summed up as it's a sick joke. Mushrooms made me realize how beautiful and lovely simple things like the sun reflecting off of plants is, and how lucky I am to be alive. [edit: basically same as him ^ except rather than starting out loving the world I started out quite disgusted with it. Now I love it though.]

Subsequent trips have taught me a whole lot... I guess the most startling change is I now know there are super-intelligent nonhuman godlike beings that I can talk to any time I want. Another big one is I now know we are all literally one, everything in the universe is one thing, and that this totality is god. So I learned there is actually some truth behind religion (I was a lifelong atheist).

And many other things.
 
Completely. Psychedelics tore my ego down and exposed the core of my being to me on numerous times. Everything is in perspective. I no longer worry incessantly. I have experienced truly unconditional love radiating from the center of the universe. I am a totally different person now. A much better, thoughtful, empathetic person.

In a word: enlightenment.



But don't abuse them, because they will terrorize you like no other drug can. That's the power of a psychedelic... with heaven comes hell.
 
Has a psychedelic changed your life?

Having just dropped LSD for the first time on Friday and having what I consider to be an incredible healing experience, I'm curious to read about other people's experiences and whether use of psychedelic drugs has effected them positively, negatively or in any way really.

Anyone care to share?
