Weed is too intense for me anymore. But a 5 g mushroom trip is just dandy. Weed is just too paranoia and anxiety inducing for me to enjoy it anymore, even the days after smoking it. I do have to watch out for the alcohol use that came with stopping though.
Weed has been the cause of all but one of my bad trips.
@TripSitterNZ Would you call yourself dependent on psychedelics? I don't mean to throw any shade, psychedelic dependency/addiction is just something that the community tends to disregard and I'm curious about your thoughts and experiences in regards to it. Idk if y'all remember the guy that wanted to smoke DMT every day that came here a few weeks ago. From an outside perspective I would call that dependency but of course I don't know his whole situation.
I used psychs quite heavily last summer and although I am no longer suffering any negative consequences it did temporarily hurt me for a few months even after stopping for a while. I was just "out there" for lack of a better word. Ya know the song Cudi Zone? Sort of like that...
Now I'm zoned, see things so vivid
Hide my soul? Nah, homie, not even
I'ma zone out 'til I lose feeling, remember
I'ma be gone way past November
Even, stay up there, up there
Floatin', floatin', hopin'
I can find peace somewhere
I felt like I was in my own world, but I didn't fully grasp just how far gone I was until I fully came back down. I can see it in my friends too sometimes. That slight look in the eye that tells you "Yep they're floating away off in dream land". We call it "acid brain" in my circle. I don't wanna offend anybody or diminish the effectiveness of psychedelics for healing but the psychedelic community doesn't discuss these topics enough, in my opinion. Maybe some mentions of HPPD but it's often downplayed. Certainly it's better here on BL but on big forums like reddit (thank god I left that place ugh) there is virtually no discussion of negative side effects. Just "victim blaming" of someone looking for help and then people tell him that he/she needs to fix their set and setting or respect it more or it's no biggie etc.
Damn sorry for the rant people but I'm glad I got that out of my head and into words
