Why do you use psychedelic drugs?

I love to eat mushrooms. I mostly keep it to concerts, because there is this magic when you combine that mix of people, and the sounds of music...especially the dead.
I am going to try acid for the first time this weekend because i think i have reached my peak with mushrooms, and i am looking for a more intense spiritual experience. I am hoping to tap into the "deeper end" of my mind.
I think that people have a basic need to explore. The best place you can go is inside yourself, because you can go places that dont exist on earth. I feel that i have unlocked a lot of personal mysteries while tripping, and i love it. I love how everything just suddenly makes sense and the world is a bright place with unending possibility. Its hard to sum up tripping...because its out of this world. Its a new place. And the brain activity is off the charts.
Its something everyone should experience at least once because it is something you just can not describe.

Peace and love

 

I use psychedelics for their spiritual qualities. I also find it interesting that I can experience such a totally different reality from my every day life. I also like how it artistic I can be when I have my mind in the right state. I won't lie though, it is partly for fun too.

 

Other- For creative, intellectual and experimental research.

 

self advancement. you can learn so much through these chemicals it's amazing. whether it be spiritual, physical, or mental there are always new things to be learned through the perspective change offered my psychedelics. while i try not to use them solely for pleasure, they are incredibly fun.

 

i think the real question is why wouldnt you do psychadelic drugs

 

all of the above. mostly to experience.

 

I just had my first trip a week or two ago. It was a lot of each of those things. The first 4 hour were nothing but pure euphoria, awe, and wonder. After that, it was lot of chilling with some friends of mine and just being very present and open.

I do remember feeling very close to the friends I was tripping with, and I also did a lot of thinking about stuff that I'd been avoiding. I finally committed myself to being vegetarian for one, and it stayed with me pretty solidly after the trip.

Next time I'm going to make sure to do something creative, maybe a painting or something, as well as some meditation and introspection.

But those first 4 hours...like being in another universe. Wow.

 

because the night lights are just to damn cool... ha ha


Mike...

 

all of the above and more.

 

damn ... voted for spiritual enlightenment before i saw the "all of the above"

 

havent used em sat all in many years, except peyote tea in a sweatlodge
but when i did it was usualy spiritual but sometimes all of the above
but i definately got less out of it when i did it just for fun

 

what drugs are considered psychedelics? like ive heard that weed is in that caagory but i would think it would be like shrooms or acid....what is peotye? dont indians(amarican) smoke it? where do i get it at also?

 

The "classic" psychedelics are mescaline, dmt, lsd, and mushrooms. Psychedelics make you 'trip,' and although they are different drugs, tripping is similar across the board.

Marijuana is a psychedelic to an extent, but it is like a big wheel toddler's bike to a harley.

Peyote is a psychedelic cactus that is very small and takes years (up to twenty+) to grow to maturity. Its chief alkaloid is mescaline, but there are a bunch of other alkaloids in smaller concentration that add to the trip. Peyote is usually dried and eaten or made into a tea. Smoking peyote, though I have heard it is sometimes done, would not produce any kind of noticeable effect other than lack of oxygen. Peyote normally causes nausea and vomiting. It is a difficult commodity to acquire in most locations, and I doubt you would be able to find any. Seeds can be ordered though, and if you want to wait at least 5 years maybe you can trip out on it.

 

fair dos, that was well informative.

 

To make me love live and grow. O yeah nothing is funner the lsd in the brain. In my opion you can't put a price on a acid trip 10 bucks a hit and all that I think its like getting a degree in phioloshpy and phycology for 10 bucks you can't beat that. Happy trails

 

I think that most important thing in life is freedom... And you get to freedom somehow... But now i think that extasy and euforic feeling is freedom... Because every thing is so nice there and my mind is free there (hard to explain). But i think that when you use drugs you will find freedom and then you know everything... So i use because enlightenment is in drugs...

(my spelling can be wrong but i am from finland so try to forgive me...)

 

Wrong.

 

You know that was my favorite part! I'd Dose, and time it so when I was peaking I'd be taking a shit! Now with HPPD shitting has improved.

 

:indian_ch We us drugs to expand our mind so we can realize what life really is and how to use this knowledge to give us a much better life

 

If you experience any kind of freedom on psychoactives, it is only temporary and as the drugs wear out, your sense of freedom will decrease to a lesser extent of which it originally was, before returning gradually back to normal.
Finding freedom does not lead to full, coherent knowledge of EVERYTHING. If somebody asked you an insanely complex scientific question, I doubt you could provde them with the full answer.
And finally, true enlightenment is impossible while going through the effects of drugs because it is obviously drug induced thought! Therefore, 'so I use because enlightenment is in drugs' could be turned into 'so I use because drugs do their job'.

Bite the thorn, pierce the skin, and come back down to Earth again.
